Undergrounding Electric Lines

With concerns growing regarding the health effects of 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 operational parameters. Also included are the latest mapping methods and computerized grid coordinate systems. A review of key points is provided at the end of each chapter, along with study questions which may be utilized in an instructional setting.
