Opis

This book covers the physical basis of high-voltage engineering, from insulation stress and strength to lightning attachment and protection and beyond. It presents information critical to the design, selection, testing, maintenance, and operation of high-voltage power equipment, describing current insulation systems and discussing power system overvoltages, electric field calculation, and statistical analysis of ionization and breakdown phenomena. Examining contemporary practices in insulation coordination in association with the latest standards, the text provides a real-world understanding of the factors affecting—and the actual means of evaluating—insulation performance.
