Descriptions
This book presents a comprehensive exposition of the various principles and techniques involved in high voltage engineering. The exposition has been systematically organised into five sections comprising:Insulating materials and their applications; Breakdown phenomena in insulating materials;.Generation and measurement of high dc, ac and impulse voltage and currents; Overvoltage phenomenon in electrical power transmission systems, and; High voltage testing techniques and planning of high voltage laboratories. Important features of the second edition:Chapter 2 expanded to include vacuum insulation, vacuum breakdown and practical applications of vacuum insulation; Chapter 4 now includes a detailed discussion of breakdown of composite insulation/insulation systems; Chapters 6 and 7 present the recent developments in the areas of production and measurement of high voltages; Chapter 8 presents an updated and comprehensive exposition of high voltage and extra-high voltage AC power transmission;The exposition has been illustrated by suitable solved examples, charts and tables throughout the book. Practice problems and exhaustive references have been presented at the end of various chapters.
