Description
Contents
Scope: This new book concentrates on the mechanical aspects of distribution wood pole lines, including live line working, environmental influences, climate change and international standards. Other topics include statutory requirements, safety, profiling, traditional and probabilistic design, weather loads, bare and covered conductors, different types of overhead systems, conductor choice, construction and maintenance. A section has also been devoted to the topic of lightning, which is one of the major sources of faults on overhead lines. The book focuses on the effects of this problem and the strategic principles of protection.
Dr. Brian Wareing runs his own consultancy company on overhead lines and
Lightning protectection. He also delivers an MSc course in Power Distribution Engineering based in the UK and overseas.
