This book provides a comprehensive treatment of electricdistribution systems. Few books cover specific topics in more depthand there is hardly any book that deals with the key topics ofinterest to distribution system engineers. The book introducesthese topics from two points of view:
1) The practical point of view by providing practical examplesand the problems which can be solved.
2) The academic point of view where the analysis and varioustechniques used for distribution system planning are explained.
The most outstanding feature of this book is a combination ofpractical and academic explanation of its contents. Anotheroutstanding feature is a collection of the traditional and currenttopics of distribution systems condensed into one book.
The reader will gain an understanding of distribution systemsfrom both practical and academic aspects, will be able to outlineand design a distribution system for specific loads, cities, zones, etc.. Readers will also be able to recognize the problems which mayoccur during the operation of distribution systems and be able topropose solutions for these problems.
