Electrical Power System Protection provides practising engineers with the most up-to-date and comprehensive one -volume reference and tutorial on power system protection available. Concentrating on fundamental methods and technology and with extensive examples drawn from current practice internationally, this book will be a major reference tool for engineers involved with and affected by power system protection.
Preface. List of Symbols. Fuses. Current transformers. Voltage transformers. Overcurrent and earthfault protection. Current-differential protective schemes. The protection of transformers. The protection of rotating machines. The protection of busbars. The protection of overhead lines and cables by current-differential schemes. Interlock and phase comparison schemes for the protection of overhead lines. Distance-type protective schemes for overhead lines and cables. Ultra-high-speed schemes for the protection of long transmission lines. Appendix A: the testing and application of power-system protective equipment. Appendix B: Percentage and per-unit quantities. Appendix C: transformations of three-phase quantities. Appendix D: the determination of power-system behaviour using symmetrical components.
