Description
Power transfer for large systems depends on high system voltages. The basics of high voltage laboratory techniques and phenomena, together
with the principles governing the design of high voltage insulation, are covered in this book for students, utility engineers, designers
and operators of high voltage equipment.
In this new edition the text has been entirely revised to reflect current practice. Major
changes include coverage of the latest instrumentation, the use of electronegative gases such as sulfur hexafluoride, modern diagnostic
techniques, and high voltage testing procedures with statistical approaches.
Audience
Students studying high voltage engineering (postgraduate taught courses or third year undergraduate options); university libraries; power
engineering or traditional electrical engineering degree students. Utility Engineers. Designers and operators of high voltage equipment.
Contents
Introduction; Generation of high voltages; Measurement of high voltages; Electrostatic fields and field stress control; Electrical breakdown
