Synopsis
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.
