Industrial High Voltage Volume I: Electric Fields, Dielectrics, Constructions

This book presents both the basic principles of high voltage science and deals with the practical application of this knowledge. The fusion of basic knowledge and practical usage has prompted the addition of subject areas to those already well known: a chapter on fieldgrading
a chapter on breakdown statistics
a section on tracing breakdown and
a method for checking tg δ
- measurements. Blending basics and practice has also influenced the treatment of the topics. The author critically reviewed field calculations
studied combinations of dielectrics in a systematic way
related test specifications to insulation coordination and
critically reviewed discharge tests. Industrial High Voltage is published in two volumes and is divided into six fields. Volume I: Electric Fields: behavior and calculation
Dielectrics: breakdown mechanisms and applications
Constructions: combinations of dielectrics and field grading. Volume II: Co-ordination: deriving test specifications from insulation co-ordination
Testing: generating and measuring high voltages, statistics
Measuring: C, tg δ
, partial discharges.
