Undergrounding Electric Lines

With concerns growing regarding the health effects of exposure to electromagnetic and electrostatic fields associated with above-ground electrical lines, underground installation of high-voltage transmission lines has become an increasingly common practice. Designed to serve as a desk reference and on-the-job companion for engineers, designers and installers, this book covers all aspects of undergrounding electric lines, with in-depth treatment of planning, design, installation, maintenance and operation parameters. Also included are the latest mapping methods and computerized grid co-ordinate systems. A review of key points is provided at the end of each chapter, along with study questions which may be used in an instructional setting.
