Review
[A] comprehensive source for information about the components that make up our current distribution system. … The book is a thorough look at power distribution systems. It is written in a clear and easily understood manner.
- E-Streams, Vol. 7, No. 9, Sept. 2004
The book is very readable for a practicing engineer. Basic theory and fundamental equations are presented along with hundreds of tables, graphs, figures, and excellent written descriptions, which make the book very easy to read and understand. The comprehensive collection of many hard-to-find tables and graphs also makes this book a worthwhile investment. … This handbook is highly recommended for power engineers working on distribution systems or those who want to learn more about the modern power distribution system.
- IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Jan/Feb 2005, Vol. 21, No. 1
CRC Press has delivered another excellent, applications-rich work for practicing engineers or professionals-in-training. Short addresses all major problems in distribution system design and operation, clearly describing the fundamental physical issues involved and providing proven, best-practice engineering tools to analyze and solve the problems. He provides ample, practical, and unambiguous illustrations, field data, and analytical formulae well-adapted for use by the practicing engineer. The book offers in-depth coverage of the very latest information and proven remedies of increasingly problematic distribution networks power quality and reliability issues, … An excellent resource … Summing Up: Essential.

Product Description
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.Download
