This book covers structural and foundation systems used in high-voltage transmission lines, conductors, insulators, hardware and component assembly. In most developing countries, the term “transmission structures” usually means lattice steel towers. The term actually includes a vast range of structural systems and configurations of various materials such as wood, steel, concrete and composites. This book discusses those systems along with associated topics such as structure functions and configurations, load cases for design, analysis techniques, structure and foundation modeling, design deliverables and latest advances in the field. In the foundations section, theories related to direct embedment, drilled shaf ts, spread foundations and anchors are discussed in detail. Featuring worked out design problems for students, the book is aimed at students, practicing engineers, researchers and academics. It contains beneficial information for those involved in the design and maintenance of transmission line structures and foundations. For those in academia, it will be an adequate text-book / design guide for graduate-level courses on the topic. Engineers and managers at utilities and electrical corporations will find the book a useful reference at work.

Design of Mechanical Power Transmissions addresses the classic problem of the need for an intermediate device between a mechanical power source and driven load that converts the motor output torque and speed to the torque and speed needs of the load. The content emphasizes the mathematical modeling and design performance analysis of the more commonly available fixed and variable ratio mechanical transmissions. A special feature of this monograph is that in every analytic development the solution process begins with the application of fundamental engineering principles to appropriate physical models. All presentations include a combination of text explanation of the solution development together with illustrations of the symbolic mathematical process. The goal is to provide an understanding of the basic theory and models that are appropriate to the engineering application of the relevant subject matter in a succinct manner. The knowledge content covered includes: Chapter 1: definitions of force, torque, work and power: relation between torque, speed and power. Chapter 2: rolling contact, involute gear tooth geometry, diametral pitch, gear ratios, simple and compound gear trains. Chapter 3: planetary gear system analysis, general gear ratio relationships, classic gear ratio outputs, interpretation. Chapter 4: example applications, manual mechanical hoist, variable high gear ratio hybrid planetary. Chapter 5: fixed ratio transmission performance, effect of input/output rotation on reaction torque, energy loss inclusion. Chapter 6: variable speed ratio transmissions, fluid coupling, torque converter, strengths and weaknesses. Chapter 7: transmission selection, variable speed power output and load, start up time. This monograph is not intended to be a textbook or comprehensive reference source. Its purpose is to assist the once acquainted reader in recalling relevant knowledge content or to provide concise complimentary assistance to those acquiring the knowledge for the first time in a structured learning environment.

Although many textbooks deal with a broad range of topics in the power system area of electrical engineering, few are written specifically for an in-depth study of modern electric power transmission.
