Pilot Protective Relaying

Walter A. Elmore (Retired) ABB Automation, Inc. Florida

"Since the author has stressed simplicity and root technology, this book is meant to serve relay and power engineers who desire to learn the fundamentals of protective relaying. Coupled with its companion text, Protective Relaying: Theory and Applications (1994, Marcel Dekker, Inc.), these two titles are excellent guides to the basic of modern protective relaying. "---IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine"By illustrating numerous techniques for solving various surface analysis problems, this book can adequately serves as a reference text to the surface scientists, especially since [it]...provide[s] the researcher with various alternative methods to approaching and characterizing surface behavior."---IEEE/Electrical Insulation, 2000
