High voltage engineering [electronic resource] : fundamentals / E. Kuffel, W.S. Zaengl, J. Kuffel. 2nd ed. Oxford ; Boston : Butterworth-Heinemann, 2000. 1 online resource (xiii, 239 p.) : ill. 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. A classic text on high voltage engineering Entirely revised to bring you up-to-date with current practice Benefit from expanded sections on testing and diagnostic techniques. Introduction; Generation of high voltages; Measurement of high voltages; Electrostatic fields and field stress control; Electrical breakdown in gases; Breakdown in solid and liquid bielectrics; Non-destructive insulation test techniques; Overvoltages, testing procedures and insulation coordination; Design and testing of external insulation; Index. Includes bibliographical references and index. Electrical engineering. High voltages. Electric insulators and insulation. Breakdown (Electricity) Electronic books. Zaengl, W. S. Kuffel, J.
