Of the ...big three... components of the electricity infrastructure, distribution typically gets the least attention, and no thorough, up-to-date treatment of the subject has been published in years. Filling that void, the Electric Power Distribution Handbook provides comprehensive information on the electrical aspects of power distribution systems. It is an unparalleled source for the background information, hard-to-find tables, graphs, methods, and statistics that power engineers need, and includes tips and solutions for problem solving and improving performance. In short, this handbook gives readers the tools they need to understand the science and practices of distribution systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A very useful handbook,
By J Wong (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electric Power Distribution Handbook (Electric Power Engineering Series) (Hardcover)
This handbook covers many important and relevant topics in distribution engineering with appropriate depth of treatment. Examples are voltage regulators, reclosing practices and distributed generation. Unlike a few other popular distribution engineering references nowadays, the diagrams in this handbook are clear, and the reference data such as cable and line impedance are quite complete. I believe it is a very good reference for all practising distribution engineers and technicians.

Kindle version's tables unreadable,
This review is from: Electric Power Distribution Handbook (Electric Power Engineering Series) (Kindle Edition)
The tables that are images are so small that nothing can be discerned. Tables that are text are formatted incorrectly such that there are no columns; each entry of the table appears on its own line.
It might not be a problem for reading a novel, but for textbooks, it's unacceptable.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Electric Power Distribution Handbook (Electric Power Engineering Series) (Hardcover)
The book is very technical yet easy to understand. The author, Tom Short of EPRI PEAC, covers all aspects of power distribution from fundamentals to lightning protection and distributed generation. I found this reference so valuable that I purchased a copy for each field office.
