This book assesses the procurement and supply environment of large power transformers (LPTs). Key industry sources have identified the limited availability of spare LPTs as a potential issue for critical infrastructure resilience in the United States, and both the public and private sectors have been undertaking a variety of efforts to address this concern. 588 0 Vendor-supplied metadata. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Electric transformers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85042014|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 7 Electric transformers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /905945 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Beck, Vincent,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ nb2016022343|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tLarge Power Transformers in the U.S. Electric Grid.|z1634632702|z9781634632706 |w(OCoLC)891677747 830 0 Energy science, engineering and technology series.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2009115408 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=906220|zOnline eBook.
