EPRI Red Book 3rd Edition.

[radug]

Hello,

I would like to know if EPRI Red Book 3rd edition is worth having a look at because I have seen that it has a huge price.

Does anybody know if it is available in any university library? Due to its high price I discard buying it but as I am a lecturer in a university, I could ask for an interlibrary loan.


Thanks.

 

[prc]

Just curious, what this red book contains?

 

[davidbeach]

The EPRI Red Book deals with construction of EHV & UHV lines (>345kV).

 

[m3ntosan]

> 200 kV, so I guess it's useful for 220 or 275 kV as well

May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true...

 

[m3ntosan]

radug,

Hope this helps.

Sorry for the long post

m3ntosan,

Thanks for the toc, it helps me a lot. I have done a search in the university library and we have the 2nd edition.

I will borrow the book and will talk with the librarians for getting help in obtaining the 3rd edition by an international library loan if possible.

 

[cuky2000]

Yes, the effort to read this eddition is worth.

The 3rd eddition is much larger than the original one. Also the 3rd edition has a software for several calculations that is worth the efort.

 

[jbond]

Wow, that table of contents seems to contain the answers that I'm presently searching for

ie

How to calculate the Audible noise for a non-bundled conductor OH line at 66kV L-L
