Underground dist. and trans. cable books
Underground dist. and trans. cable books
(OP)
Anyone have a favorite technical book or manual regarding underground power system cables and calculations? I'm working on a task that has piqued my interest in this subject (which I barely know anything about).
I'm looking more for a textbook type book with theory, not a quick calculation handbook. Preferably a book still in print or readily available.
Thanks!

For getting down to basics where I have to calculate conductor GMR or skin effect, I go back to my old college text (I'm dating myself now), "Elements of Power System Analysis," William D. Stevenson, Jr., McGraw-Hill, 1962.
Also, if you can find it (I don't have a copy but had use of one a while ago) - "Siemens Power Cables and their Application," Part 1, 1990.

1- Power and Communication Cables Theory and Applications (R. Bartniska & K. Srivasta) IEEE Press
2- 835-1994 IEEE Standard Power Cable Ampacity Table, Section 3 (Cable Parameters) and Annex A-2 (Calculation Samples). This std covers Cables rated through 138 kV and laminar dielectric power cables rated through 500 kV .
3- Insulated Cable Engineers Association (ICEA)
4- IEEE Standard 14. Chapter 10-Cable Systems.
5- AmpCalc Software Instruction Manual.
6- Engineering Cable Guide- Okonite Company.
7- Power Cable Manual-Southwire Company.

I'm also looking for a good power cable book. I found one (actually they are two, first one is theory and 2nd is application) that seem to be rather good. Find their ref, below:
Title: Cables and Their Application - Part1
Author: Lothar Heinhold, Reimer Stubbe
ISBN: 3-8009-1535-9
Publisher: John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
Title: Cables and Their Application - Part2
Author: Lothar Heinhold, Reimer Stubbe
ISBN: 3-8009-1575-8
Publisher: John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
I've looked only at the TOC, but it seems to be rather complete.

I bought a copy of the Westinghouse T&D book a year or so ago (everybody needs this one). I found it used via the web site (www.bookfinder.com). I just now did a search and found two copies of the 4th edition (1964) for sale, one is $180 and the other is $75.
