Electrical Power Distribution and Transmission, 1/e Luces M. Faulkenberry Walter Coffer, both of the University of Houston

Written in a down-to-earth, easy to understand manner, this state-of-the-art text offers students a practical orientation and introduction to electrical power distribution and transmission. Considers real-world aspects of the field, coupling theory and practice to arm students with applicable information they can use in their future career. Organizes material in three sections easily arranged to suit course needs: I. presents a brief history of the electrical power industry, the relationships of the industry with other institutions, and basic concepts including three-phase phasors and per unit. II. discusses electrical power distributions, examining basic distribution concepts and layouts, transformers, equipment, substation equipment, distribution and substation protection, and distribution system construction. III. studies electrical power transmission, covering such basic system concepts as power-flow, stability, and economic dispatch; types of transmission systems; transmission line parameters and equivalent circuits; fault calculations with symmetrical components; transmission line protection; grounding, and transmission line construction. Covers subject concepts in considerable depth and detail. Offers up-to-date material with a historical perspective. (NOTE: Each chapter concludes with a Chapter Summary and Self-Test Questions.) I.
