Biography
Short, Thomas Allen
"An excellent book for anyone wanting to know about the fundamentals of power distribution systems and to understand the potential problems that can occur and solutions to improve reliability of the system. A book well worth checking out!"
– John J. Shea, in IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, November/ December 2007, Vol. 23, No. 6
