High Voltage Engineering [Jan 01, 2010] Wadhwa, C. L.

by C.L. Wadhwa

The book provides a clear, systematic and exhaustive exposition of various dimensions of high voltage engineering. Generation of a.c., d.c. And impulse voltage for testing of electrical equipments as per standard specifications have been explained. High voltage testing of some of the electrical equipments e.g. Insulators, cables, transformers as per standard specifications has been explained. Various methods of non-destructive testing which yield information regarding life expectancy and long term stability or otherwise of the insulating materials have been discussed. The book takes a view of various types of transients in power system and suggests classical and more modern statistical methods of co-ordinating the insulation requirements of the system. Key electric stress estimation and control using various techniques. Mechanism of breakdown of gases, liquids and solid insulating materials. Application of insulating materials for different electrical equipments. Generation o
