Zusatztext This is an excellent! well-written text that electrical contact engineers will find exceptionally useful since it presents a set of diverse technical materials in one place.-Professor Ronald A. Coutu! Marquette University! Milwaukee! WIDr Chudnovsky has written an excellent review of the application of lubrication to electrical power and electronic equipment. It provides a useful reference by examining the pros and cons of the vast range of available lubricants that are available that cannot be found in one lace anywhere else. I would expect that it will be extensively referenced. - Dr. Paul Slade! ConsultantThis book presents examples of various lubricants used by industry for the need of lubricating electrical equipment and wind turbine gear boxes. The effect of chemical composition and consistency on the lifetime of a lubricant in regards to various types of equipment! designs! and load conditions are discussed with a focus on choosing lubricants to maintain a stable contact resistance! preserve the contact surface! and extend the life of mechanical parts. Power engineers who design and/or test switchgear or wind turbine gearboxes as well as those who maintain this type of equipment! would find this book to be a very handy guidebook for selecting the proper lubricant for a given application and knowing what lubricants are available. - IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine! March/April 2020 Informationen zum Autor Bella Chudnovsky earned her PhD in the fields of Applied Physics and Material Science at Rostov State University (RSU) in Russia. For the first 25 years of her career, she worked as a successful scientist for the Institute of Physics at RSU and at the University of Cincinnati since 1992. During the last 12 years of her career, she worked as an R&D engineer for Schneider Electric-Square D Company, where her principal areas of activities were aimed at resolving multiple aging problems and developing means of mitigating deteriorating processes in power distribution equipment. In this field, she has published 40 papers in both national and international technical journals and conferences proceedings. After her retirement in 2009, she worked on the book summarizing all what was previously investigated and studied on multiple topics of aging and life extension techniques in electrical industry. First edition of the book was published in December 2012 by CRC Press (Taylor and Francis Group). In the second edition of the book, published in February 2017, she updated the book and included the review of the issues of aging and means of life extension techniques for renewable energy power equipment. She is currently working on the third book focused on lubrication of electrical power equipment. Zusammenfassung The main goal of the book is to review research, engineering and technical data in the field of electrical equipment lubrication. It presents analysis of multiple important application of lubricants in power industry of both electrical and mechanical parts. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
