Hard to Find Information About Distribution Systems, Volume 1

 

ImageBelow is the preface from Jim Burke’s paper titled Hard to Find Information About Distribution Systems, Volume 1:

 

There have been little tidbits of information I have accumulated over the past 40 years that have helped me understand and analyze distribution systems. I have pinned them to my wall, taped them to my computer, stuffed them in my wallet and alas, copied them for my students. Much of them are hard, if not impossible, to find in any reference book. A large percentage of them could also be classified as personal opinion so they should be used carefully. For whatever, I hope they are as useful to you as they have been to me.

 

Over the many years, this document has taken on a life of its own. There have been many suggestions and much help from so many distribution engineers that it is impossible to thank all of you. From the new topics such as “stray voltage” and “grounding” to the many surveys we’ve all done together (lightning, loading, etc) and finally the less serious sections like “Ways We Scare Ourselves” and “ Airline Cabin Announcements”, this has been a lot of fun to work on.

 

Click here to read Volume 1. We will send Volume 2 in a couple of weeks.

  • Jim - great stuff! You're absolutely right - this is the kind of info that you look for every few years and don't remember where you put it or have access to the reference material. Thanks for having the insight to collect these into one document!

    Mike, thanks for publishing this!

    This is an excellent find. Much here to digest.

    I also like the Airline Announcement humor on page 90: XXXXIV. Airline Cabin Announcements:

    Keep up the good work.

    Best regards . . .
