High Voltage Engineering : Fundamentals

---

The basic of high voltage laboratory techniques and phenomena, together with the principles governing the design of high voltage insulation, are covered in this book for students studying high voltage engineering at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, utility engineers, designers and operators of high voltage equipment.rnChapter 1 presents an introduction to high voltage engineering including the concepts of power transmission, voltage stress, and testing with various type of voltage. Chapter 2 provides a description of the apparatus used in the generation of AC and DC and impulse voltages. These first two introductory chapters have been reincorporated into the current revision with minor changes.rnChapter 3 deals with the topic of high voltage measurements. It has undergone major revisions in content to reflect the replacement of analogue instrumentation with digitally based instruments. Fundamental operating principles of digital recorders used in high voltage measurements are described, and the characteristics of digital instrumentation approriate for use in impulse testing are explained.rnChapter 4 covers the application of numerical methods in electrical stress calculations. It incorporates much of the contents of the previous text, but the section on analogue methods has been replaced by a description of the more current boundary element method.rnChapter 5 of the previous edition dealt with the breakdown of gaseous, liquid, and solid insulation. In the new edition these topics are described in two chapters. The Chapter 5 covers the electrical breakdown of gases. The breakdown of liquid and solid dielectrics is presented in Chapter 6 of the current edition.rnChapter 7 of the new text represents an expansion of Chapter 6 of the previous book. The additiona areas covered comprise a short but fundamental introduction to dielectric properties of materials, diagnostic test methods, and non-destructive tests applicable also to on-site monitoring of power equipment. The expanded scope is a reflection of the growing interest in and development of on-site diagnostic testing techniques within the electrical power industry. This area represents what is perhaps the most quickly evolving aspect of high-voltage testing. The current drive towards deregulation of the power industry, combined with the fact that much of the apparatus making up the world’s electrical generation and delivery systems is ageing, has resulted in a pressing need for the cevelopment in-service or at least on-site test methods which can be applied to define the state of various types of system assets. Assessment of the remaining life of major assets and development of maintenance practices optimized both from the technical and economic viewpoints have become critical factors in the operation of today’s electric power systems. Chapter 7 gives an introduction and overview of the fundamental aspects of on-site test methods with some practical examples illustrating current practices.rnChapter 8 is an expansion of Chapter 7 from the previous edition. However, in addition to the topics of lightning phenomena, switching overvoltages and insulation coordination, it covers statistically based laboratory impuls testmethods and gives an overview of metal oxide surge arresters. The statistical impuls test methods described are basic tools used in the application of insulation coordination concepts. As such, an understanding of these methodsleads to clearer understanding of the basis of insulation coordination. Simirlarly, an understanding of the operation and application of metal oxide arresters is an integral part of today’s insulation coordination techniques.rnChapter 9 describes the design, performace, application and testing of outdoor insulators. Both ceramic and composite insulators are included. Outdoor insulators represent one of the most critical components of transmission and distribution systems. While there is significant experience in the use of ceramic insulator, composite insulators represent a relatively new and quickly evolving technology that offers a number of performance advantages over the conventional ceramic alternative. Their use and importance will continue to increase and therefore merrits particular attention.rnThe authors are aware of the fact that many topics also relevant to the fundamentals of high-voltage engineering have again not been treated. But every textbook about this field will be a compromise between the limited space available for the book and the depth of treatment for the selected topics. The inclusion of more topics would reduce its depth of treatment, which should be good enough for fundamental understanding and should stimulate further reading.rn
