High Voltage Engineering Problems and Solutions

by Rakosh Das Begamudre

This book has been written in response to suggestions given by practising engineers in electrical power systems dealing with high voltage in their every day work as well as taking decisions. The book contains a total of 292 questions arranged in 17 chapters along with 167 line drawings to aid in understanding the material. The questions are those which the author got during his long association with power systems, electrical machines and high voltage engineering (design, practice, teaching, research and laboratory measurements). About The Rakosh Das Begamudre has been actively engaged in research, development, teaching and consultation in electrical machinery, energy conversion and high voltage electrical power engineering in the last 6 decades in India, U.S.A. and Canada. He holds the B.Sc. degree in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from the Banaras Hindu University (B.H.U.) and A.I.I.Sc. (Master`s degree) from the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore and the Ph.D. degree from the Lehigh University in Bethlehem (Pennsylvania). His training in large and high voltage testing of transformers and other rotating machines was at the factories of Hitachi Ltd. in Japan. Subsequently he worked as a graduate student in high voltage engineering under the guidance of Professor S. Hayashi. After returning to India, he taught at the Mysore University and was also a faculty member of the Roorkee University and then at the Banaras Hindu University. Then he travelled to U.S.A. and came under the influence of Dean Loyal Vivian Bewley and Professor Archie Miller. Then after 4 years at Lehigh, he came to Canada and worked at the National Research Council for 4 years at Ottawa. Then he taught at the Royal Military College at Kingston, Ontario, Canada and at the Capilano College in Vancouver. Then he became manager of Walden Noxter Laboratories in Lillooet, B.C. Canada. Upon returning to India, he was associated with the Central Power
