Summary

Emphasizing the achievement of optimum insulation strength at minimum cost, this book presents up-to-date developments in power system insulation co-ordination. It comprehensively covers a myriad of insulation coordination techniques and examines electrical transmission and distribution lines and substations. Supplemented with end-of-chapter problem sets, tables, drawings, and equations, the book focuses on the deterministic method of insulation coordination and the probabilistic method with its emphasis on statistical analysis. Included are two disks that provide 20 computer programs that assist in the design of power lines and substations. A solutions manual is available to instructors only.
