High-voltage engineering
- Cairo Univ., Giza (EG)
The topics covered in this book include gas discharge, insulating materials, system earthing, overvoltage and insulation coordination, and high-voltage equipment and testing techniques. In two chapters, the principles of design of high-voltage busbars are discussed, together with their insulation and ampacity, whether they are of conventional air-insulated type or the metal-clad GIS types now widely used at the HV and EHV levels. The various types of circuit breakers and cables are discussed including mention of solid-state breakers and superconducting cables. The authors present a treatment of power system grounding, external and internal overvoltages imposed on system insulation, and techniques adopted for insulation coordination. The last three chapters focus on the area of insulation testing, covering the topics of high-voltage generation, measurements, and standard specifications.
