| Summary: | Inspired by a new revival of worldwide interest in extrahighvoltage (EHV) and ultrahighvoltage (UHV) transmission, High Voltage Engineering, Second Edition merges the latest research with the extensive experience of the best in the field to deliver a comprehensive treatment of electrical insulation systems for the next generation of utility engineers and electric power professionals. This book offers extensive coverage of the physical basis of high voltage engineering, from insulation stress and strength to lightning attachment and protection and beyond. Presenting information critical to the design, selection, testing, maintenance, and operation of a myriad of highvoltage power equipment, this musthave text: Discusses power system overvoltages, electric field calculation, and statistical analysis of ionization and breakdown phenomena essential for proper planning and interpretation of highvoltage tests Considers the breakdown of gases (SF6), liquids (insulating oil), solids, and composite materials, as well as the breakdown characteristics of long air gaps Describes insulation systems currently used in highvoltage engineering, including air insulation and insulators in overhead power transmission lines, gasinsulated substation (GIS) and cables, oilpaper insulation in power transformers, paperoil insulation in highvoltage cables, and polymer insulation in cables Examines contemporary practices in insulation coordination in association with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) definition and the latest standards Explores highvoltage testing and measuring techniques, from the generation of test voltages to digital measuring methods With an emphasis on handling practical situations encountered in the operation of highvoltage power equipment, High Voltage Engineering, Second Edition provides readers with a detailed, realworld understanding of electrical insulation systems, including the various factors affecting-and the actual means of evaluating-insulation performance and their application in the establishment of technical specifications. |
