Informationen zum Autor Dr. Ravindra Arora retired from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in May 2008! where he worked for thirty-four years. At IITK! he established a unique high voltage laboratory! where he conducted research activity for more than forty master's theses! two PhDs! and a large number of undergraduate projects! besides having completed several industry-sponsored projects. He has been a Senior Member of IEEE since 1988 and is a Life Member of the Institution of Engineers (India).Dr. Wolfgang Mosch retired as head and chair professor of the Institute of High Voltage Technology in the Electrical Engineering (Power) Division of Technical University Dresden! Germany! in 1993. He has been actively involved with teaching! research! and industry in high voltage and insulation engineering since 1960. Klappentext A novel fundamental approach to the behavior of dielectrics in high voltage engineeringHigh voltage engineering is the study of dielectric materials! involving physical models to describe how an electric field affects the performance of insulation. It is characterized by the interaction of an electric field with an atom under different conditions. This one-of-a-kind resource features a novel! valuable approach to describing the field-dependent behavior of dielectrics and electrical insulation systems when subjected to high voltage. Based on the advanced-level courses conducted at Technical University Dresden! Germany! and Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur! India! the book provides the knowledge necessary for an economical! dependable! and optimum design of insulation systems for all high voltage power apparatus used in power systems.The contents begin with the description of fundamental terminology commonly used in the area of high voltage engineering. This is followed by the classification of electric fields and the techniques of field estimation. Then the performance of gases! liquids! solids! and vacuum as dielectrics under different field conditions is described. Unique features of this resource include:* Detailed descriptions of the three types of electric fields on the basis of the Schwaiger Factor* Introduction of the new concept of Weakly Nonuniform Field* Classification and explanation of three types of Coronas: Star! Streamer! and Leader* A new approach to explaining the mechanism of the lightning phenomenon* Separate! detailed chapters on electric fields! lightning and ball lightning! and the insulating properties of a vacuum* In-depth coverage of the performance of sulfure hexaflouride gas and its mixtures applicable to the design of Gas Insulated SystemsGraduate-level students and teachers! as well as scientists and engineers involved in highvoltage and insulation engineering and research and development! will appreciate this simple and systematic approach to the subject. Industry and utility personnel will rely on this resource to better understand the practical problems encountered with high voltage installations and equipment. Zusammenfassung The book is written for students as well as for teachers and researchers in the field of High Voltage and Insulation Engineering. It is based on the advance level courses conducted at TU Dresden, Germany and Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. The book has a novel approach describing the fundamental concept of field dependent behavior of dielectrics subjected to high voltage. There is no other book in the field of high voltage engineering following this new approach in describing the behavior of dielectrics.The contents begin with the description of fundamental terminology in the subject of high voltage engineering. It is followed by the classification of electric fields and the techniques of field estimation. Performance of gaseous, liquid and solid dielectrics under different field conditions is described in the subsequent chapters. Separate chapters on vacuum as insulation a...
