Description
Contents
Events in the electric utility industry in the last few decades have made knowledge of transformers and power equipment assume an even greater importance. The trend has been toward squeezing out every ounce of capacity to achieve greater efficiency, thereby increasing with special consideration given the potential for decreased reliability. This book presents approaches which address these issues, to the impact of load management and deregulation programs. The text provides a comprehensive resource on technical, application and operational aspects of all types of electrical transformers and power systems, covering operation theory; transformer construction, installation, operation and maintenance; principal transformer connections; transformer types; troubleshooting; circuit breakers; disconnecting devices; fuses; lightning or surge arrestors; protective relays; storage batteries; reactors; capacitors; rectifiers; instruments; and insulation. Illustrations and diagrams are included throughout the written presentation.
