Electric Power Transmission and Distribution

Description

Electric Power Transmission and Distribution is meant to serve as a textbook for students of B.Tech and B.E. Electrical Engineering. This is, in fact, the first course book for the electrical engineering student in which almost all concepts of transmission and distribution are covered in a single book. This book is mainly divided into two sections. The first section deals with power supply schemes, overhead transmission of electrical power, conductor materials, electrical and mechanical design aspects of transmission lines, performance of transmission lines, different phenomena that occur in the transmission system and overhead. It also covers the transmission of electric power by underground cables. The second section deals with electrical distribution system, where D.C. and A.C. distribution system concepts, different types of D.C. distribution schemes and different solutions to solve the A.C. distribution problems are covered. The book covers the syllabi of many universities in India for a course in power transmission and distribution.
