Description

High Voltage Engineering Fundamentals provides an in-depth understanding of the principles, design, and applications of high voltage systems, essential for power transmission and industrial applications. The book explores the generation, measurement, and testing of high voltage levels, emphasizing the behavior of materials under high electric fields. Key topics include electrical breakdown in gases, liquids, and solids, insulation design, and partial discharge phenomena. It also covers advanced technologies in high voltage engineering, such as GIS (Gas-Insulated Systems) and HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) systems, along with safety practices and standards. Practical case studies and experimental techniques are included to bridge theory with real-world applications. Designed for students, engineers, and professionals, High Voltage Engineering Fundamentals equips readers with the foundational knowledge and technical skills to address challenges in designing, operating, and maintaining high voltage systems in modern power and industrial networks.
