High-Voltage Engineering - Theory and Practice, Second Edition, Revised and Expanded (Hardcover, 2nd edition)

Reflecting the continuing increase in the development and growth of the high-voltage industry, this comprehensive reference/text bridges the gap between laboratory research and practical applications in industry and power utilities-clearly organized into three distinct sections that cover basic theories and concepts, execution of principles, and innovative new techniques. Includes new chapters detailing industrial uses and issues of hazard and safety, and review exercises to accompany each chapter Providing a clear survey and analysis of the field, High-Voltage Engineering, Second Edition contains new discussions and more thorough treatments on: the theories and models of insulating materials and dielectric phenomena, including electrical insulation and its breakdown under various stresses techniques of high-voltage generation, testing procedures, and design problems types of field computation and mapping such as the versatile boundary-element method the different characteristics of gas, corona, and arc discharges circuit interruptions, controlled switching, solid-state breakers, and superconducting cables computer-based approaches to overvoltage evaluation, distribution grounding systems, and the role of contamination in insulation coordination rapid developments in measurement tools and much more Containing nearly 1400 literature references, equations, tables, and over 300 drawings and photographs, High-Voltage Engineering is a superb reference for electrical and electronics, transmission, distribution, and substation engineers, and an excellent text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
