Summary

Line and cable workers have depended on this essential resource since the First Edition appeared in 1928. It gives you more than 1,000 pages of up-to-the-minute coverage of basic principles and best procedures; more than 1,500 illustrations; important accident - and injury-prevention information, including new data based on the authors' extensive research; updates on OSHA, National Electrical Safety Code, and other standards; comprehensive coverage of new materials and products for line and cable systems, including automated maintenance procedures; new information on distribution automation; and expanded information on helicopter-assisted maintenance of energized high-voltage transmission lines. This practical handbook will help you construct, operate, and maintain both overhead and underground electric transmission and distribution lines at peak efficiency. It will also help you avoid costly errors, diagnose and repair failures, and ensure optimum safety through sound preventive practices.
