Non-destructive Diagnostic of High Voltage Electrical Systems

<p>This book describes the methods of signal processing used in the non-destructive diagnostics of mechanical and electrical properties of high-voltage electrical machines. Traditional and less traditional methods are given which allow measuring the mechanical and electrical properties of these machines in order to determine their technical condition including a description of their measurement methods. Separate chapters are devoted to the causes and methods of measuring and evaluating partial discharges arising in the insulation systems of high-voltage electrical machines. The following chapters provide an overview of the test methods used in the non-disassembly diagnostics of high-voltage transformers rotary machines high-voltage cables insulators surge arresters and circuit breakers.</p><p>The book is intended for students of technical universities and experts in the field of non- destructive diagnostics of high-voltage electrical machines.</p><p>The book was reviewed by Ing. Ji?í Brázdil Ph.D. MBA Head of the HV laboratory of ORGREZ in the Czech Republic.</p>
