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.
Mark
