This self-contained book supplies background information and gives an up-to-date understanding of high-voltage engineering. It covers the physical phenomena active in insulation systems, the various factors affecting insulation performance, and their application in the establishment of technical specification. In addition, the book discusses the design, selection, and testing of high-voltage po…
The material in this book has been organized into five sections, namely (i) insulating materials and their applications in electrical and electronic engineering (ii) breakdown phenomena in insulating material-solids, liquids, and gases, (iii) generation and measurement of high dc, ac, and impulse voltages and current, (iv) overvoltage phenomena in electrical power transmission system and insula…
