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
Course Reserves Collections provides access to items suggested or recommended by course instructors for their students. All reserves items will be placed in Course Reserves Collections which is located on first level, next to Access Service Desk.
Power transfer for large systems depends on high system voltages. The basics of high voltage laboratory techniques and phenomena, together with the principles governing the design of high voltage insulation, are covered in this book for students, utility engineers, designers and operators of high voltage equipment. In this new edition the text has been entirely revised to reflect current practice. Major changes include coverage of the latest instrumentation, the use of electronegative gases such as sulfur hexafluoride, modern diagnostic techniques, and high voltage testing procedures with statistical approaches. A classic text on high voltage engineering Entirely revised to bring you up-to-date with current practice Benefit from expanded sections on testing and diagnostic techniques
High Voltage Direct Current Transmission by J. Arrillaga
ISBN: 9780852969410
Publication Date: 1998
Describes a variety of reasons justifying the use of DC transmission as well as the basic concepts and techniques involved in the AC-DC and DC-AC conversion processes.
The protection which is installed on an industrial power system is likely to be subjected to more difficult conditions than the protection on any other kind of power system. Starting with the many simple devices which are employed and covering the whole area of industrial power system protection, this book aims to help achieve a thorough understanding of the protection necessary. Vital aspects such as the modern cartridge fuse, types of relays, and the role of the current transformer are covered and the widely used inverse definite-minimum time overcurrent relay, the theory of the Merz-Price p
This book addresses the very latest research and development issues in high voltage technology, specifically covering developments throughout the past decade. It is intended as a reference source for researchers and students in the field, but the unique blend of expert authors and comprehensive subject coverage means that this book is also ideally suited as a reference source for engineers and academics in the field for years to come.
