Writing for graduate students of electrical engineering, Chowdhuri (Center for Electric Power, Tennessee Technological U.) provides the knowledge base for addressing the problems of electromagnetic transients in power systems caused by lightning strikes and switching surges. He discusses the mathematical and physical principles of transients and their effects on power systems, as well as the latest problems with transients being addressed by the electric power industry, including power-system grounding, lightning-induced voltages on overhead power lines, protection of substations, and transients in low-voltage systems (emphasizing power-electronic systems). For this new edition he has added a chapter on dynamic overvoltages. Distributed in the US by AIDC. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Electromagnetic transients in power systems are generated by lightning and switching surges and can result in costly failures of electrical systems. This text explains modern theories of the generation, propagation and interaction of electrical transients with electrical systems, and discusses the practices for the protection of electrical systems against such transients. Topics addressed include lightning-induced voltages on overhead lines, protection of substations, and the effect of transients on low-voltage systems.
