This book has a novel approach in describing the fundamental concept of field-dependent behavior of dielectrics when subjected to different types of high voltages. The contents begin with a systematic classification of electric fields and the techniques of field estimation. In-depth coverage of performance/behaviour of gaseous, solid and liquid dielectrics has been made in the book. The basics of high voltage laboratory techniques, non-destructive testing, measurement of high test voltages and dielectric properties are also covered in detail in this book. Preface About the Authors Acknowledgements Preamble Chapter 1 Introduction to High-Voltage Engineering Chapter 2 Electric Field Intensity, Stress Control, and Types of Breakdown in Dielectrics Chapter 3 Transient Overvoltages and Insulation Coordination in High-Voltage Networks Chapter 4 Field-Dependent Electric Strength and Breakdown in Gaseous Dielectrics and Vacuum Chapter 5 Lightning, a Breakdown Phenomenon in Atmospheric Air, Its Effects and Protection Chapter 6 Solid- and Liquid-Insulating Materials, Their Classification, Properties, and Breakdown Chapter 7 Generation of High Test Voltages Chapter 8 Measurement of High Test Voltages Chapter 9 Non-Destructive Testing and Quality Control of Electrical Equipment Chapter 10 High-Voltage Test Laboratory Design and Curriculum Experiments Experiment I Experiment II Experiment III Experiment IV Experiment V Experiment VI Experiment VII Experiment VIII and IX Experiment X Summary References Worked Examples Multiple-Choice Questions Review Questions Numerical Problems Appendix A Finite Element Modelling and High-Voltage Engineering A.1 Introduction to FEM Modelling in COMSOLTM Reference Practice Questions Appendix B Travelling Waves on Transmission Lines B.1 Evaluation of the Velocity of Wave Propagation B.2 Reflection and Refraction Coefficients of Travelling Waves Reference Worked Examples Numerical Problems Answers Index
Dr. Ravindra Arora retired from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in May 2008, where he worked for 34 years. At IITK, he established a unique high-voltage laboratory, where he conducted research activity for more than 40 master’s theses, 2 PhDs, and a large number of undergraduate projects, besides having completed several industry-sponsored projects. He is a Life Member of IEEE (USA) and Institution of Engineers (India). Dr. Bharat Singh Rajpurohit did his PhD from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 2009 and joined Indian Institute of Technology Mandi in 2010, where he conducted research activity in the area of electrical power. He has guided four PhD theses, few UG/PG projects and completed several industry-sponsored research projects. He is a Senior Member of IEEE and a Life Member of the Institution of Engineers (India).
