The power utilities industry are going through a period of massive re-organisation worldwide. The de-layering brought about by an attempt to reduce costs and therefore provide cheaper power to the consumer means that many non-specialist engineers and technicians are now responsible for the power protection systems.
This book has originated from a successful course initiated by this skills shortage and the pressure of the Occupational Health & Safety Act and Risk Management.
The book is a practical introduction to basic fundamentals of power system protection, ie safety measures to control the impact of large voltage surges, for example a bolt of lightning or a short circuit. It is not a theoretical text but is designed to de-mystify the subject in order to allow non-specialists to implement safely power protection systems.

“... provides engineers, field technicians, electricians, and plant operators a better understanding of power system protection systems, and as such could be used for company onsite training as well as individual learning ... it is an outstanding resource for obtaining a quick overview of the basic fundamentals of protection systems commonly used in mainly low and medium voltage power systems.

Mark has compressed a tremendous amount of practical experience in his 15 years of engineering with a wide spectrum of activities from power system protection, telecommunications, power quality and finally fibre optic design and installation. Although one could conclude that as a result 'he is a jack of all trades, but master of none' he has demonstrated a significant track record of success in each of these areas in his design and commissioning work. He has specialised in the fibre optic field for the past few years providing solutions from fibre management frames, DWDM, test equipment and fibre management software.
