Just out of curiosity, I want to learn a little about the details of electricity production and distribution in the US. I'm looking for everything from methods of production right down to how many volts each wire going into a building should read. Does anybody have a good book in mind? Also, I'm looking for a cheap chart recorder for line voltage. The place that I work is having problems with the computers getting nailed by power hits, and I'd like to check the history of each circuit to isolate the problems. Unfortunately, it always happens at night, so I can't be there to watch. Thanks.

The industry standard power monitor is a Dranetz. These are frightfully expensive. You can rent them though. Also, we got DEC field circus to loan us once, so you might try that if y ou have DEC machines. -Ron
