Electrical Power Cable Engineering, 3rd Edition

Preface

The authors would like to acknowledge the almost 40 years of dedicated work by Professor Willis F. Long of the Department of Engineering Professional Development at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, which has made this book possible. It was because of his efforts that the first course of a series, Power Cable Engineering Clinic, was presented in the early 1970s, where Dr. Eugene Greenfield gave all his lectures for 8 hours a day during the 5 days of the course. He later added a few lecturers to share the work load.

The course was reorganized in 1999 and called “How to Design, Install, Operate, and Maintain Reliable Power Cable Systems.” It was also divided into two sessions: “Understanding Power Cable Characteristics and Applications” ...
