As a sub-field of electrical engineering, high voltage engineering refers to the study and understanding of the different levels of voltage and how they affect the technology and especially, electricity transmission. The various levels of voltage include low, medium, high, extra and ultra high voltage. The subject also includes high voltage generation, its consumption, transmission, distribution and also, its applications in the industrial sector. The book studies, analyses and upholds the pillars of high voltage engineering and its utmost significance in modern times. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in this field. For all those who are interested in high voltage engineering, this textbook can prove to be an essential guide.
