9780863801808: Electromagnetic Transients in Power Systems (High-Voltage Power Transmission Series)

Synopsis

Electromagnetic transients in power systems are generated by lightning and switching surges and can result in frequent and costly failures of electrical systems. This book presents the basic mathematical and physical principles of electromagnetic transients. It also addresses topics that are of prime importance to the electric power industry today, including lightning-induced voltages on overhead lines, protection of substations, and the effects of transients on low-voltage systems, which have become more susceptible to transients because of the increasing application of semiconductor devices. Modern theories of the generation, propagation and interaction of electrical transients with electrical systems are explained, and practices for the protection of electrical systems against such transients discussed. Problems are included to facilitate understanding of the various topics and extensive references are provided for those who wish to pursue further study.
