Major new revisions on the best-selling book, including extensive updates to all existing chapters and new coverage on surge protective devices, electromagnetic compatibility, medical locations and new special locations, bringing it in line with the regulation Amendment No.1 published in July 2011

This is a significant revision to the existing, best-selling book and is necessary to bring it in line with the revisions to the standard BS7671: 2008 Amendment No.1, published in July 2011. The revision includes new chapters and content on: surge protective devices and their applications; electromagnetic compatibility; medical locations; and new special locations. It will also include a fairly extensive modification to existing chapters.Timely publication, covering all the essential new technical requirements of the amended standard with new and revised materialIncludes new coverage on 'hot' topics such as EMC, Harmonics, surge protective devices and medical locationsEndorsed by the ECA and SELECTPrevious edition is well-established within the electrical industryAuthor is on the panel of the BS 7671 committee amending the standardsFully-integrated colour including 60 brand new colour illustrations, 20 tables and new high-quality photographsRetains its handy size and binding, ideal for practicing electricians to carry with them for quick reference

In electrical engineering manufacturing, one of the most important processes stems from making sure the material used to distribute the electrical current is safe and operating correctly. The precarious nature of electricity makes developing innovative material for advanced safety a high-ranking priority for researchers. Electrical Insulation Breakdown and Its Theory, Process, and Prevention: Emerging Research and Opportunities provides innovative insights into the latest developments and achievements in high voltage insulation breakdown. Featuring topics such as nanodielectrics, thermal stability, and transmission technology, it is designed for engineers, including those that work with high voltage power systems, researchers, practitioners, professionals, and students interested in the upkeep and practice of electric material safety.

This book is a complete guide to the IET Wiring Regulations and the important changes in Amendment 3 to BS 7671:2008. It provides comprehensive guidance on all aspects of electrical installation design, including the Electricity Safety Quality and Continuity Regulations. Derivations of the requirements are included along with the relevant formulas, data, installation design calculations, and examples. The Commentary also includes guidance on related subjects, such as the prevention of electromagnetic interference, allowance for harmonic currents and the use of cable armouring.
