Electric power distribution systems: Practices and trends in the United States

In this report the distribution subcommittee of the AIEE transmission and distribution committee has attempted to study and analyze distribution system design practices in the United States and to point out the main reasons for these practices, as well as noting definitely indicated trends and the reasons for them. The report is not intended as an original study of the economic aspects of the problem, but it is hoped that, by presenting a broad picture of American distribution system practices, individual work on such problems will be stimulated and the results of this work will be presented to the Institute in the form of papers.
