Publisher's Synopsis
""Electric Central Station Distribution Systems: Their Design And Construction"" is a comprehensive guidebook written by Harry Barnes Gear in 1916. The book is intended to be a reference for engineers and technicians involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of electric central station distribution systems. The book covers a wide range of topics related to electric power distribution systems, including the principles of electrical distribution, the selection and installation of distribution transformers, the design and construction of overhead and underground distribution systems, and the operation and maintenance of distribution systems. The author provides detailed explanations of the various components of electric distribution systems, such as conductors, insulators, switches, and protective devices. He also discusses the different types of distribution systems, such as radial, loop, and network systems, and provides guidance on selecting the most appropriate system for a given application. Throughout the book, Gear emphasizes the importance of safety in the design and operation of electric distribution systems. He provides detailed instructions on how to properly ground distribution systems, how to protect against overcurrents and overvoltages, and how to prevent electric shocks and fires. Overall, ""Electric Central Station Distribution Systems: Their Design And Construction"" is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the design, construction, or maintenance of electric distribution systems. The book provides a thorough and practical guide to the principles and practices of electric power distribution, and is a testament to the knowledge and expertise of its author, Harry Barnes Gear.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
