This book conveys the theoretical and experimental basics of a well-founded measurement technique in the areas of high DC, AC and surge voltages as well as the corresponding high currents. Additional chapters explain the acquisition of partial discharges and the electrical measured variables. Equipment exposed to very high voltages and currents is used for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. They are therefore tested for reliability before commissioning using standardized and future test and measurement procedures. Therefore, the book also covers procedures for calibrating measurement systems and determining measurement uncertainties, and the current state of measurement technology with electro-optical and magneto-optical sensors is discussed.

Equipment to be installed in electric power-transmission and distribution systems must pass acceptance tests with standardized high-voltage or high-current test impulses which simulate the stress on the insulation caused by external lightning discharges and switching operations in the grid. High impulse voltages and currents are also used in many other fields of science and engineering for various applications. Therefore, precise impulse-measurement techniques are necessary, either to prevent an over- or understressing of the insulation or to guarantee the effectiveness and quality of the application. The target audience primarily comprises engineers and technicians but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students of high-voltage engineering and electrical power supply systems.

Betriebsmittel zur UEbertragung und Verteilung elektrischer Energie mussen vor dem Einsatz mit Stossspannungen oder Stossstroemen auf ihre Zuverlassigkeit gepruft werden. Das Buch behandelt die erforderliche Messtechnik: von Generatorschaltungen zur Erzeugung genormter Stossspannungen und Stossstroeme uber Messsysteme und deren Kalibrierung, Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Messunsicherheiten bis zu den mathematischen und experimentellen Grundlagen, um das UEbertragungsverhalten raumlich ausgedehnter Messsysteme fur schnelle transiente Vorgange zu kennzeichnen.

Zur UEbertragung und Verteilung elektrischer Energie werden Betriebsmittel eingesetzt, die sehr hohen Spannungen und Stroemen ausgesetzt sind. Sie werden daher vor Inbetriebnahme mit genormten und auch zukunftigen Pruf- und Messverfahren auf ihre Zuverlassigkeit gepruft. Das Buch vermittelt die theoretischen und experimentellen Grundlagen einer fundierten Messtechnik in den Bereichen hoher Gleich-, Wechsel- und Stossspannungen sowie der entsprechenden hohen Stroeme. Der aktuelle Stand der Messtechnik mit elektro- und magnetooptischen Sensoren wird an Hand mehrerer Beispiele dargestellt. Weitere Kapitel beinhalten konventionelle und unkonventionelle Messverfahren zur Erfassung von Teilentladungen und von dielektrischen Messgroessen. Ebenfalls behandelt werden Verfahren zur Kalibrierung der Messsysteme und die Bestimmung von Messunsicherheiten.
