What reading level is Electricity At High Pressures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Scott in a recent paper has ably dealt with the question of in- crease of voltage in systems of transmission, and the subject is too extended to be taken up in detail now. Suffice it to say that there are indications of a limit being reached at which the losses from the wires may become so great as to neutralize the benefits attained in raising potential. Besides, the capacity of a very long line at high pressures introduces new problems and requires additional compli- cation to balance it. We ...have very much to learn in the field of high pressure transmissions. Difficulties which seem insurmount- able to-day may disappear in the technical advance of a few years. This has always been the case in the development of new arts, and it would be unwise at present to assign any limits to increase of pressure. Back in 1878 I used to wonder whether I should live to see elec- tric currents used of as much as 25 to 50 amperes with a line of a potential, or tension as we then called it, such that a discharge would leap from the line to earth over as much as half an inch.
