Overhead Transmission Lines and Distributing Circuits: Their Design and Construction (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Overhead Transmission Lines and Distributing Circuits: Their Design and Construction

This book is intended to explain the fundamental principles and to give the data essential to the proper carrying out of the very varied operations which fall to the share of the present-day overhead line engineer.

No attempt has been made to provide a complete, text-book of structural engineering, so that the calculations have in all cases been carried only as far as seems necessary to cover the direct practical requirements of the designer and constructor of overhead lines.

Especial importance has been given to simplicity of statement, and the numerous worked examples, mostly taken from practice, will prevent any doubt arising in the application of the various formul .

The book is based on a practice of many years in this particular branch, and will, it is believed, prove useful not only to the younger engineers but also to those of more experience.
