Switching in Electrical Transmission and Distribution Systems presents the issues and technological solutions associated with switching in power systems, from medium to ultra-high voltage.The book systematically discusses the electrical aspects of switching, details the way load and fault currents are interrupted, the impact of fault currents, and compares switching equipment in particular circuit-breakers. The authors also explain all examples of practical switching phenomena by examining real measurements from switching tests.Other highlights include: up to date commentary on new developments in transmission and distribution technology such as ultra-high voltage systems, vacuum switchgear for high-voltage, generator circuit-breakers, distributed generation, DC-interruption, aspects of cable systems, disconnector switching, very fast transients, and circuit-breaker reliability studies.Key features: Summarises the issues and technological solutions associated with the switching of currents in   transmission and distribution systems.Introduces and explains recent developments such as vacuum switchgear for transmission systems, SF6 environmental consequences and alternatives,  and circuit-breaker testing.Provides practical guidance on how to deal with unacceptable switching transients.Details the worldwide IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standards on switching equipment, illustrating current circuit-breaker applications.Features many figures and tables originating from full-power tests and established training courses, or from measurements in real networks.Focuses on practical and application issues relevant to practicing engineers.Essential reading for electrical engineers, utility engineers, power system application engineers, consultants and power systems asset managers, postgraduates and final year power system undergraduates.

Provides an original, detailed, and practical description of current interruption transients, origins, and the circuits involved, and shows how they can be calculatedBased on a course that has been presented by the author worldwide, this book teaches readers all about interruption transients calculation—showing how they can be calculated using only a hand calculator and Excel. It covers all the current interruption cases that occur on a power system and relates oscillatory circuit (transients) and symmetrical component theory to the practical calculation of current interruption transients as applied to circuit breaker application. The book explains all cases first in theory, and then illustrates them with practical examples.Topics featured in Current Interruption Transients Calculation, Second Edition include: RLC Circuits; Pole Factor Calculation; Terminal Faults; Short Line Faults; Inductive Load Switching; and Capacitive Load Switching. The book also features numerous appendices that cover: Differential Equations; Principle of Duality; Useful Formulae; Euler’s Formula; Asymmetrical Current-Calculating Areas Under Curves; Shunt Reactor Switching; and Generator Circuit Breaker TRVs. Offers a clear explanation of how to calculate transients without the use of specialist software, showing how four basic circuits can represent all transientsDescribes every possible current interruption case that can arise on a power system, explaining them through theory and practical examplesAnalyses oscillatory circuit (transients) and symmetrical component theory in detailTakes a practical approach to the subject so engineers can use the knowledge in circuit breaker applicationsCurrent Interruption Transients Calculation, Second Edition is an ideal book for power electrical engineers, as well as transmission and distribution staff in the areas of planning and system studies, switchgear application, specification and testing, and commissioning and system operation.
