High Voltage and Electrical Insulation Engineering

Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
High Voltage and Electrical Insulation Engineering is a comprehensive graduate-level textbook that systematically covers the behaviour of dielectric materials used in high voltage insulation. The text begins by clarifying fundamental terminology and techniques for electric-field classification and estimation. It then examines the performance of gaseous, vacuum, liquid, and solid dielectrics under various field conditions. The book includes detailed illustrations, tables, and diagrams to enhance understanding. Fully revised in its second edition, it incorporates recent advances such as polymer insulators, SF6 gas applications in gas-insulated systems, and new insights into lightning phenomena including ball lightning. New chapters discuss vacuum technology applications and condition monitoring of electrical insulation, alongside a case study on clearance requirements for 25 kV electric traction.

High Voltage and Electrical Insulation Engineering is a comprehensive graduate-level textbook on high voltage insulation engineering, updated to reflect emerging trends and techniques in the field.

High Voltage and Electrical Insulation Engineering presents systematic coverage of the behaviour of dielectric materials. This classic textbook opens with clear explanations of fundamental terminology, electric-field classification, and field estimation techniques. Subsequent chapters describe the field-dependent performance of gaseous, vacuum, liquid, and solid dielectrics under different classified field conditions, and illustrate the monitoring of electrical insulation conditions by both single and continuous online methods. Throughout the text, numerous tables, figures, diagrams, and images are provided to strengthen the understanding of all material.

Fully revised to incorporate the most current technological application techniques, the second edition offers an entirely new section on the condition monitoring of electrical insulation. Updated chapters discuss recent developments in gas-filled power apparatus, present-day trends in the use and replacement of liquid insulating materials, the latest applications of new solid dielectrics in high voltage engineering, vacuum technology, and liquid insulating materials, and more. This edition features a brand-new case study exploring the estimation of clearance requirements for 25 kV electric traction. Readers will also find the new edition:

  • Provides new coverage of advances in the field, such as the application of polymer insulators and the use of SF6 gas and its mixtures in gas-insulated systems/substations (GIS).
  • Uses a novel approach that explores the field-dependent behaviour of dielectrics.
  • Explains the โ€œweakly nonuniform field,โ€ a unique concept introduced both conceptually and analytically in Germany.
  • A separate chapter provides the new approach to the mechanism of lightning phenomenon, which also includes the phenomenon of โ€œBall Lightning.โ€
  • The dielectric properties of vacuum and the development in the application of vacuum technology in power circuit breakers are covered in an exclusive chapter.
  • In-depth coverage of the performance of the sulphur-hexafluoride gas and its mixtures applicable to the design of Gas Insulated Systems including dry power transformers.

High Voltage and Electrical Insulation Engineering, Second Edition, remains the perfect textbook for graduate students, teachers, academic researchers, and utility and power industry engineers and scientists involved in the field.
