4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite a "must have", but an excellent reference., April 11, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Its a good book for railway electrification designers, but far from being the "must have" book that the authros would like it to be. The problem is that being written by German authors, it is too heavily biased towards their systems and their methods of design. If it covered other electrification systems in a little more detail, then it would be a better book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The one and only, also the best..., November 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Keeping it simple, this book is a how to or child's guide, for electric rail traction power. It's got substations, protection, lots of overhead (contact) line design, coupling points (tie-station), lots of colour pictures, lots of equations and maths. If you are a electrical engineer working on a rail traction power project this book is your only required reference.
