Overview
Covering the fundamentals of electrical transients, this book will equip readers with the skills to recognise and solve transient problems in power networks and components. Starting with the basics of transient electrical circuit theory, and moving on to discuss the effects of power transience in all types of power equipment, van der Sluis provides new insight into this important field.
Recent advances in measurement techniques, computer modelling and switchgear development are given comprehensive coverage for the first time. An electromagnetic transients calculation program is included and will prove valuable to both students and engineers in the field.

A transient occurs in a power supply system when the network changes from one steady state into another as the result of either a switching action or a lighting strike. This book provides techniques for predicting and limiting damage caused by transients to system components. Van der Sluis (Delft University of Technology) describes the three-phase layout of the power system, the properties of traveling waves, the operation of high-voltage circuit breakers, and the current and voltage oscillations that occur. Other topics include characteristics of the transient recovery voltage, numerical simulation, related standards, and the testing of circuit breakers. Annotation c.
