The book systematically discusses the electrical aspects ofswitching, details the way load and fault currents are interrupted,the impact of fault currents, and compares switching equipment inparticular circuit-breakers. The authors also explain all examplesof practical switching phenomena by examining real measurementsfrom switching tests.
Other highlights include: up to date commentary on newdevelopments in transmission and distribution technology such asultra-high voltage systems, vacuum switchgear for high-voltage,generator circuit-breakers, distributed generation,DC-interruption, aspects of cable systems, disconnector switching,very fast transients, and circuit-breaker reliability studies.
Key features:
* Summarises the issues and technological solutions associatedwith the switching of currents in transmission anddistribution systems.
* Introduces and explains recent developments such as vacuumswitchgear for transmission systems, SF6 environmental consequencesand alternatives, and circuit-breaker testing.
* Provides practical guidance on how to deal with unacceptableswitching transients.
* Details the worldwide IEC (International ElectrotechnicalCommission) standards on switching equipment, illustrating currentcircuit-breaker applications.
* Features many figures and tables originating from full-powertests and established training courses, or from measurements inreal networks.
* Focuses on practical and application issues relevant topracticing engineers.
* Essential reading for electrical engineers, utility engineers,power system application engineers, consultants and power systemsasset managers, postgraduates and final year power systemundergraduates.
