Description
The past decade has witnessed dramatic growth in the diversity and complexity of device applications where vacuum is required to support
either high voltages or high electric fields. This is particularly true in thespace industry, specifically for the development of space-based
pulse power systems.
This book presents an overview of the technological advances that have occurred since the publication of the Editors
earlier book High Voltage Vacuum Insulation: The Physical Basis. In this latest book, contributions from internationally recognized
professionals and researchers in the field provide expanded treatment of the practical aspects of the subject. High Voltage Vacuum
Insulation: Basic Concepts and Technological Practice provides a modern working manual for this specialized technology that
is generic to a wide range of applications. The format makes the text suitable for use as a basis for special topic lecture courses at
either the undergraduate or graduate level.
Audience
Researchers, electrical engineers, applied physicists in industrial laboratories and academia.
