Van Soelen's GUIDEBOOK FOR POWERLINE TECHNICIANS, 3rd Edition, is a convenient, single-volume reference guide on the operation of electrical utility systems. Students are given practical coverage of the equipment and situations that power line technicians are exposed to on a daily basis. Simple concepts are explained first, building upon the fundamentals to explain more complex theories. Updates include the most current industry information, including applications of recent technology. This book contains in-depth exploration of mechanical aspects of the job such as working with rigging, trucks, stringing wire and tree felling. The need for safety and training is highlighted throughout the book, giving students a guide to learning the skills to construct, operate and maintain lines and cables in an electrical utility system.
