Electromagnetic transients in power systems are generated by lightning and switching surges and can result in frequent and costly failures of electrical systems. This book presents the basic mathematical and physical principles of electromagnetic transients. It also addresses topics that are of prime importance to the electric power industry today, including lightning-induced voltages on overhead lines, protection of substations, and the effects of transients on low-voltage systems, which have become more susceptible to transients because of the increasing application of semiconductor devices. Modern theories of the generation, propagation and interaction of electrical transients with electrical systems are explained, and practices for the protection of electrical systems against such transients discussed. Problems are included to facilitate understanding of the various topics and extensive references are provided for those who wish to pursue further study.

2.0 out of 5 stars
An ugly book about electromagnetic transients,
This review is from: Electromagnetic Transients in Power Systems (High-Voltage Power Transmission, 1) (High-Voltage Power Transmission Series) (Hardcover)
This book covers many topics on electrical transients in power systems in a nice compact package. It is not as verbose as Greenwood's book, but has many other examples and application formulas. It also mentions numerous, recent technical reports which the reader can refer to if he wishes to further investigate on a topic.With that said, it is also one of the ugliest books ever published in technical literature. This book looks worse than if it had been typed in a common word processor (which it probably was). It lacks proper illustrations, formulas do not use an italic or slanted style, it uses 1.5 line spacing, and overall the layout looks rather poor. If you want a cheap book on electromagnetic transients, to see if it has something you don't already know, and you don't expect it to win a beauty contest you might try this one.
