Electrical Transmission & Distribution Reference Book - Westinghouse

Electrical Transmission & Distribution Reference Book - Westinghouse

(OP)
thread238-60515: Westinghouse T&D Book I've recently come across a website www.scribd.com while searching for the subject book on Yahoo search.  It looks like you can download the 4th edition, 1964, in pdf format.  The approximate size is 96Mb. You will be asked to provide an email acct, create a username and password to gain access to the downloadable file.  I hope this helps the thousands of EEs unfortunate to have not been handed down this book from predecessors.

Thank you dpc.  I wasn't aware that ABB had the rights to the book.  I looked at the website and searched it to see if ABB also had the rights to the Distribution System (Electric Utility Engineering Reference Book, 3), but to no avail.  Are you aware of a website that I could purchase that book also?

RE: Electrical Transmission & Distribution Reference Book - Westinghouse

I don't know about that one.  

RE: Electrical Transmission & Distribution Reference Book - Westinghouse

After signing up I would suggest typing the words: "westing house transmission distribution reference book"
If you type Westinghouse in one word it may take you longer to get the book.

RE: Electrical Transmission & Distribution Reference Book - Westinghouse

The ABB Switchgear Handbook is also on the site.
the PRAG book is on the site but if you try to download it- you get the message "the author of this book has forbidden downloading this" or something to that effect.
Sounds like there is some control but how it works would be intersting to know.
How can you determine the location of the server??

RE: Electrical Transmission & Distribution Reference Book - Westinghouse

One BIG note that I thought of and would also suggest to support the purchase of the book through the ABB site that dpc has posted, is the prospect of the pdf file having a virus on it.  I researched a little about pdf viruses.  To my limited knowledge, at this point, the pdf virus(es) only pop-up when using Adobe Acrobat.  The free downloadable Reader version doesn't have a feature needed for the virus to activate itself.  That may not hold true in the near future, but I thought I'd mention it to all and the possibility of having your computer and others you know (thru email addresses) infected.

RE: Electrical Transmission & Distribution Reference Book - Westinghouse

Anyone who is thinking of downloading anything and doesn't want a load of crap in their inbox: it's not fussy about it being a legitimate email address.

Right, but the Areva book is not the same as the ABB book.
