The Transmission and Distribution of Electrical Energy (3rd Edition)

The Transmission and Distribution of Electrical Energy (Third Edition) By H. Cotton and H. Barber

A classic, long-established text in the field, this book has remained popular through multiple editions for its clear, methodical treatment of how electrical energy moves from generating station to consumer. It builds systematically from the fundamentals of supply systems through to the practical apparatus used to protect lines and networks, with this edition significantly expanding coverage of how changing line constants affect system behavior and updating descriptions of modern equipment and its construction and characteristics.

Topics commonly covered include supply systems, distributors, insulation resistance of a system, feeders, line constants, short and moderately long transmission lines, long transmission lines, corona and its effects, underground and overhead line design, insulated cables, voltage control, symmetrical components and unsymmetrical faults, protective systems and circuit breakers, and travelling waves and overvoltage protection.

Key features:

• Systematic progression from basic supply systems through advanced protection topics

• Expanded treatment of the effects of changes in line constants on transmission behavior

• Updated descriptions of the construction and characteristics of modern electrical apparatus

• Dedicated chapters on travelling waves and overvoltage protection equipment

• Long-standing classic reference, refined and popular across more than two decades of editions

Perfect for:

• Undergraduate electrical engineering students studying power transmission and distribution

• Students taking a dedicated course in electrical supply systems

• Students needing a thorough grounding in line constants, cables, and protective apparatus

• Practicing engineers working in power transmission, distribution, or protection systems
