For years, the most popular way to deliver electricity was through overhead wires. Construction practices for overhead service is well understood, and this type of service is easier to operate and maintain because equipment is out in the open. Recently, however, more installations have gone underground. Customers prefer underground utilities because electric wires are ugly and underground service is more reliable because there is no risk of lines going down in storms or poles being hit by motorists. This book covers field-proven practices for pulling cables, splicing cables, terminating cables, fusing lines, grounding equipment, and switching circuits. It explains the special job skills lineworkers and cable splicers need to safely install and maintain underground distribution systems.
