High voltage engineering testing (3^rd Ed.)

A fascinating read, the book should equally interest and satisfy engineering students, lecturers, new graduates entering the high voltage field, practising electrical and power system engineers in industry, researchers and anyone wishing to extend their knowledge in this area. Well written, well illustrated, and with numerous references, the book covers almost all topics of current interest in high-voltage engineering. It presents a vast amount of relevant data and information and details of design and testing techniques and of testing and measuring equipment. The book seems to have captured, as it were, the excitement and technical romance of high voltage engineering in order that engineers may be tempted to take up high-voltage engineering as a career, so that work by way of research, development and industrial testing of equipment and of high voltage power systems will go ahead in a planned and consolidated manner for the future.
