Three things:

(a) ARRL Handbook - contains everything you need to know and then some.

(b) ARRL Antenna book -  contains everything you need to know and then 
some.

(c) Grounding and Bonding,  by Ward Silver, an ARRL Publication - 
MANDATORY reading.

And of course one must visit the contents of these books frequently 
along with each manual that came with the product. RTFM

As we see again and again here even basic things like cables, connectors, grounding, and house wiring that work fine at 100 W may be inadequate for 1500 W. We need guidance to study our stations piece by piece to ensure those pieces can handle these power levels without failing or causing problems.
