This is part of a 12-volume set. Volume D covers electrical systems and equipment, including: electrical system design; transformers; telecommunications; emergency supply equipment; and mechanical plant electrical services. The text is the work of some 50 electrical design specialists in the power engineering field based largely upon the work and experience of GDCD's (Generation Development and Construction Division of the CEGB) Electrical Branch. It describes the design philosophies and techniques of power engineering, the solutions to the large number of design problems encountered and the plant which has been chosen and developed to equip electrical systems both within the different types of new power station, and modification tasks at existing stations.
