Power distribution and quality remain the key challenges facing the power industry. Comprising chapters carefully selected from "Electric Power Distribution Handbook", this book focuses on the technologies and infrastructures that enable reliable, efficient distribution of power, from traversing vast distances to local power delivery.

Power distribution and quality remain the key challenges facing the power industry. Comprising chapters carefully selected from the best-selling Electric Power Distribution Handbook, Electric Power Distribution Equipment and Systems provides an economical, sharply focused reference on the technologies and infrastructures that enable reliable, efficient distribution of power, from traversing vast distances to local power delivery. Coverage includes the fundamentals of distribution systems, overhead and underground lines, transformers, voltage regulation, and capacitor applications. For each topic, the book discusses the basic concepts and practical issues for an in-depth understanding.

"An excellent book for anyone wanting to know about the fundamentals of power distribution systems and to understand the potential problems that can occur and solutions to improve reliability of the system. A book well worth checking out!" - John J. Shea, in IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, November/ December 2007, Vol. 23, No. 6
