Sinossi
Excerpt from The Protection of Railroads From Overhead Transmission Line Crossings
The rapid progress made in the development of high tension power transmission has given rise to a number of new problems which, though of secondary importance to that of transmission, are quite important to the electrical field as a whole. One of the most important of these is the problem of safeguarding persons and property from exposed transmission lines. It is coming to be regarded more and more that high-tension transmission lines are agencies of the most dangerous character and an increas ing amount of attention is being paid to the subject of protection at all places of hazardous exposure.
The general problem of protection is a broad one and naturally resolves itself into a number of typical cases. The protection of railroad property and the lives of rail road employees at overhead crossings of high-tension lines forms one of these cases and is the only typical case consid ered in this volume. The subject - matter was not prepared With the original intention of publication in book form, but was arranged for presentation before the Association of Railway Telegraph Superintendents at their annual meet ing of 1908.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the critical issue of safeguarding lives and property from the potential hazards of high-tension power transmission lines, a concern that gained prominence during the rapid expansion of electrical infrastructure in the early 20th century. The author meticulously examines the dangers associated with these lines, ranging from electrical shocks and fires to disruptions in communication and transportation systems. Real-world examples of past incidents illustrate the devastating consequences of inadequate protection measures. The book explores various methods employed at the time to mitigate these risks, including screen protectors, bridge structures, and underground cables, discussing their effectiveness and limitations. The author advocates for a proactive approach, emphasizing the importance of robust design and construction practices to prevent failures rather than merely reacting to them. This includes considerations for factors such as sleet load, wind pressure, and electrical stress, all of which contribute to the overall safety and reliability of high-tension power lines. By offering a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and solutions associated with high-tension power transmission, this book provides valuable insights into a critical aspect of electrical engineering history, underscoring the importance of prioritizing safety in the development and operation of essential infrastructure.
