Electrical Distribution Systems By Dale R. Patrick Stephen W. Fardo
Electrical Distribution Systems (2nd Edition) is an introductory guidebook for self study or for use as a textbook in technical programs in electrical technology at vocational/technical schools, industrial training programs or college technical programs. The book uses a “systems” format to teach electrical distribution and associated power system concepts. Key concepts are presented by stressing applications-oriented theory. Through this approach, the student is not burdened with an abundance of information needed primarily for engineering design. “Real world” applications and operations are stressed throughout the book. Mathematical problems are solved by basic algebraic and trigonometric applications. There are few texts on the market dealing with the topic of electrical distribution systems that are applications-oriented. Some texts discuss the engineering design of systems; however, the intent of this book is to describe electrical distribution and associated power system operation from a technician’s point of view. Chapter 13 Distribution System Considerations provides an important overview of the economic, environmental and power quality requirements. Many illustrations and photos of actual equipment and systems are included in the book.
Concepts are presented in this book through an “Electrical Power Systems” model which includes power distribution as a key element. The other subsystems of this model are important associated systems to provide a comprehensive understanding of electrical distribution systems. The five subsystems of the electrical power systems model include: electrical power production, electrical power distribution, electrical power control, electrical power conversion, and electrical power measurement.
A limited understanding of basic electrical terms is assumed in the organization of this book. However Appendix A Important Terms is included to provide assistance in defining basic electrical Terms that may be used when dealing with electrical power systems.
Through this comprehensive “systems” approach, the reader will gain a more complete understanding of electrical distribution systems. The authors have used this instructional method in teaching classes dealing with electrical power systems for over 35 years in a university technical program. We want to thank Brian W. Fardo, who teaches at Berea College, for his assistance in the revision of this book. He has an extensive background in technology systems.
We would also like to thank the many companies that have provided information and photographs to enhance the textbook.
