ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
Ouvrage 0-87814-731-4 : ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
Complex, technical aspects of electric
distribution sytems are explained in
"lay terms" in this new book. Readers will
understand complex engineering
issues even if they lack a technical background.
Components and
equipment used in distribution systems will be
readily recognized and
understood. After briefly covering electricity
generation and transmission,
chapters deal with primary distribution,
distribution transformers, secondary
characteristics, "load" characteristics, other
equipment and components,
and then deals specifically with street
lighting, system operations, and
metering. An industry expert, Wayne Beaty is
well-qualified to write this
book. He recently retired as managing editor of
PennWell Electric Light &
Power magazine and previously served as
transmission/distribution editor.
He spent a total of 45 years in the electric
utility business as engineer,
engineering and management consultant,
distribution engineer, and served
as manager of member services and deputy
director of the Washington,
D.C. office of the Electric Power Research
Institute. Contents: Introduction:
