High Voltage Engineering

High Voltage Engineering by Dr. M. P. Chaurasia

---

Book Summary:

Teaching plans of electro-energetic and electro-technical faculties of institutions of higher learning during last few years underwent considerable changes associated with rapid development of energetics and appearance of a number of new sections in it. A tendency for more narrow specialisation of power engineers who are being trained for work in power systems has appeared, due to which the difference between the contents of general and specialised courses in a number of disciplines has greatly increased. This circumstance makes the use of text-books of high voltage engineering available at present very difficult for delivering lectures in the general course.

Audience of the Book :

 

This book is useful for Electrical Engineering Students.
