Electric Protective Devices: Protection with Energy Saving

Now electrical engineers can find comprehensive, practical information on the design, characterization, and operation of electromagnetic protective devices used in power systems. What's more, with this reference they'll not only discover how to safeguard against energy surges, but also how to capture, store, transport, and use these electromagnetic energies. Excellent coverage of such protective devices as lumped resistors, low dielectric capacitors, saturable resistors, and specific hybrid forms is included. And, by using clear, practical diagrams, the book effectively illustrates power system protection through relay coordination under all fault conditions, as well as electromagnetic device protection through design aspects. The role of symmetrical components in calculating unbalanced systems, and the part solid-state technology will pay in improving future power system operations are also discussed in detail.
