Product Description

This volume surveys the techniques currently available to protect low-voltage electrical and electronic equipment and systems from lightning strikes or other power surges. It examines the basic discharge processes in air and their effects, through transient electromagnetic field generation and interaction with overhead lines and cables, and progresses to concentrate on the components and applications of protective measures and systems, as well as testing methods. The practical treatment is placed in the context of current IEC and VDE standards.

Customer Reviews

technically Informative,
This is a technically well balanced work, worth reading out of interest, but also as as manual of the issues at stake. It sometimes feels that the authors may have overestimated the future dependance the UK will have on embedded generation.

This may well be a true belief, but presents a biased view of network integration and likely improvements. Whilst legislation is being brought through, it is difficult to reconcile some of the authors views with current network condition.

Valuable reading for all DNO Engineers and Power Engineering Students
