This book is intended to serve as a textbook for students of electrical engineering at the graduate level. The inclusion of DTCM paradigms is a particularly useful aspect. The contents are so designed as to cover a broad picture of electrical insulation enclosing defects of various kinds. The authors believe that the manufacturers of high voltage and high current equipment stand to benefit to a considerable extent. The authors strongly believe that the book would serve as a reference document for scientists and engineers working in research laboratories and those engaged in conducting applied research. Power supply utilities can consult this book for scheduling the DTCM based on PD.
Key Features:
Useful for graduate students, practicing engineers in utility, electrical power industries and scientists in research laboratories.
Serves as a reference book which includes guiding principles for measurement, quantification and analysis of partial discharges (PD) in power equipment.
Information for conducting laboratory controlled experiments involving PD and their extrapolation to field conditions is included in ample measure.
Enunciation of rules for the institution of Diagnostic Testing and Condition Monitoring (DTCM) schedules for power equipment in service based on PD.
