Overview

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

Audience: Students studying high voltage engineering (postgraduate taught courses or third year undergraduate options); university libraries; power engineering or traditional electrical engineering degree students. Utility Engineers. Designers and operators of high voltage equipment.

The authors, two Canadian and one Swiss, discuss the basics of high voltage laboratory techniques and phenomena, and the key principles involved in the design of high voltage insulations. Specific topics include direct, alternating, and impulse voltages; measurement of high voltages, using methods such as peak voltage measurements by spark gaps; electrical breakdowns in gases; and non- destructive insulation test techniques. Many b&w line drawings and photographs illustrate points throughout the text. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
