Based on an IEE Vacation School, this volume provides engineering students and practicing engineers with information on high voltage transmission and distribution systems. All the key components of HV power systems are covered, from overhead lines and cables to switchgear and transformers. The volume gives details of design and testing techniques and of testing and measuring equipment. It reviews recent developments in testing and measurement technology, and describes the use of optical fiber-based monitoring of HV equipment. Distributed by INSPEC.
