Sommario/riassunto

High Voltage Engineering has been written for the undergraduate students in Electrical Engineering of Indian and foreign universities as well as the practising engineers. It deals in mechanism of breakdown of insulating materials, generation and measurement of high A.C., D.C., impulse voltages and currents. High voltage testing of some of the electrical equipments e.g. insulators, cables, transformers as per standard specifications has been explained. Various methods of non destructive testing which yield information regarding life expectancy and the long term stability or otherwise of the ins
