HIGH VOLTAGE ENGINEERING
High voltage engineering is a vast subject, extending from basic knowledge in physics, chemistry, and
material science to applications in the insulation design of high-voltage transmission lines and substation
equipment. Although high voltage engineering applications extend to medicine and nuclear science,
these topics are beyond the scope of this book.
The book is targeted towards those in the electric power
profession. The selection of what material to include is a difficult decision. To limit the scope even further,
it was decided to exclude material on the design and testing of high-voltage switchgear, a subject of great
scientific and practical interest that is usually dealt with under the designation: high power engineering.
There are some compelling reasons to write a new book on high voltage engineering. Firstly, there is a
new revival of worldwide interest in EHV and UHV power transmission. UHV ac transmission lines have
been operating for the last two decades in Russia, and more recently, in China.
UHV ac lines of 1200 kV
are also being planned in India. UHV dc transmission lines of ±750 and ±800 kV have been operating in
Russia and, more recently, in China and are presently in the planning stage in India. A ±1000 kV UHV
dc line is being designed in China, with commercial operation foreseen in about two years.
Second, many experts in high voltage engineering have retired in the last decade, and it would be helpful for the sake of a new generation of engineers to conserve some of that experience
