The topics covered are: major equipment selection, layout, site design, structural design, grounding system design, insulation coordination, protective relaying, substation automation, inspection and testing, as well as maintenance considerations. Possible design responsibilities of the engineer are covered, including preparation of construction drawings, material, equipment and labor specifications and other engineering design services that may be required.
