Description
PHI Learning Electromagnetic Transients In Power Systems 2Nd Edition by Chowdhuri Pritindra
This book is suitable for courses in power system transients offered to undergraduate students of electrical engineering, and for postgraduate students specializing in power engineering. It would also be useful to research scholars and practising power enginee The protection of electrical systems against electromagnetic transients caused by lightning and switching surges is especially difficult because of the unpredictability of the transients and the complexity of their interaction with the electrical system. To make the electrical systems reliable, it is a must to understand the basic theories of the generation and propagation of electromagnetic transients and the principles of protection against these transients. This book provides comprehensive coverage of these theories and principles in their state-of-the-art form. It includes many important topics, such as power-system grounding, lightning-induced voltage on power lines and the effects of transients on low-voltage systems. The book also discusses dynamic overvoltages that strongly influence the design of protection against transient overvoltages. This book offers many worked examples to illustrate the various topics discussed. Many of them are drawn from the author's own personal experience while working in the industry. The text also includes several chapter-end problems to test students' ability to comprehend the concepts. Table of Contents Preface to the Second Edition. Editorial Foreword to the First Edition.
