From the Publisher

A resource for engineers and graduate students working in the various specialties of electrical power distribution. Examines the unique behavior of utilities (besides their billing systems) and hints of solving real-world distribution problems. Bridges the gap between simple how-to manuals and theoretical texts by relating the problems and solutions to the underlying principles at work. Covers system design, transformers and regulators, capacitors, overcurrent protection, surge arresters, reliability and quality, and economics. Annotation c.
