In this post, we will see the book Switchgear Installation – A Manual for Installers of Electrical Switchgears and Powerlines by M. Kireyev; A. Kovarsky.

About the book

The book provides a comprehensive treatment of installation of power system equipments in Part 1. This covers fundamentals of installation work, substation switchgear, various mountings, power transformers, and control circuits. The second part of the book covers operation and maintenance and trouble-shooting of the station and line equipments. There is also a chapter on accident prevention and safety during maintenance.  The book is profusely illustrated with drawings of  various equipments, instruments, photographs and technical drawings almost on every page.

The book was translated from Russian by J. Fainberg and translation was edited by B. Kuznetsov. The book was published in  by Progress Publishers in 1964.

Note: The information is may be dated and is in particular about Soviet electrical equipments.
