High Voltage Engineering  (English, Paperback, Naidu M.S.)

High Voltage Engineering is a book meant for students who are in their final semester of Electrical Engineering and also for those who are pursuing their masters in the same. It can also be a reference volume in the department of power engineering. It will assist those who conceive the blueprint and develop machinery built to handle huge power. It has been collated with recent data on insulators, breakdown phenomena, over voltage, and testing techniques. The subject data has been covered in eleven chapters. Chapter one has been earmarked in the introductory part. Chapter two pertains to Conduction and Breakdown in Gases. Conduction and Breakdown in Liquid Dielectrics has been covered in the third chapter. Chapter four discusses Breakdown in Solid Dielectrics. The fifth chapter reveals the Applications of Insulating Materials. Generation of High Voltages and Currents are explained in the sixth chapter. Chapter seven has been delegated to the discussion on Measurement of High Voltages and Currents. Over voltage Phenomenon and Insulation Coordination in Electric Power Systems are discussed in the eighth chapter. Chapter nine has featured Non-Destructive Testing of Materials and Electrical Apparatus. High-Voltage Testing of Electrical Apparatus has been explained in the tenth chapter. The final chapter has been devoted to Design, Planning, and Layout of High-Voltage Laboratories.
