1. Power system overvoltages -- 2. Electrostatic field calculation -- 3. Application of statistical analysis in high voltage engineering -- 4. Electrical breakdown in gases -- 5. Breakdown characteristics of long air gaps -- 6. Electric breakdown in liquids -- 7. Electric breakdown in solid and composite materials -- 8. Selection of overhead transmission line conductors -- 9. Lightning incidence and lightning protection -- 10. High-voltage insulators -- 11. High-voltage (underground) cables -- 12. Power tranformers -- 13. Insulation coordination -- 14. High-voltage testing and measuring techniques.

This self-contained book supplies background information and gives an up-to-date understanding of high-voltage engineering. It covers the physical phenomena active in insulation systems, the various factors affecting insulation performance, and the actual means of evaluating the insulation performance and their application in the establishment of technical specifications. In addition, the book discusses the design, selection, and testing of high-voltage power equipment and their maintenance practices. The emphasis is on how to deal with practical situations that may be encountered in operating high-voltage power equipment--
