High-Voltage Engineering: Theory and Practice, Second Edition, Revised and Expanded / Edition 2

by Mazen Abdel-Salam

Overview

"Bridges the gap between laboratory research and practical applications in industry and power utilities-clearly organized into three distinct sections that cover basic theories and concepts, execution of principles, and innovative new techniques. Includes new chapters detailing industrial uses and isues of hazard and safety, and review excercises to accompany each chpter."

Editorial Reviews

Egyptian engineers explain to students of electrical and electronics engineering the high-voltage techniques and the related basic theories and concepts that they will need to design and install power transmission and distribution systems at all voltage levels, electrical and electronic equipment, industrial plants and radio transmitting stations, particle accelerators in medical and nuclear research, and other applications. They assume no prerequisites other than the physics and mathematical courses normally taught to undergraduate majors in the field. The first edition was edited by Magdi E. Khalifa over a decade ago, shortly before he died. The second is updated and considerably enlarged. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
