Subject: [TSSP] A couple more HV books from Oscar, also at great prices...
All, It turns out that Oscar Publications has a couple of other HV publications that are also excellent values. Unfortunately, unlike the Arora and Mosch book, both of these are paperbacks: "High Voltage Engineering" Author: C L Wadhwa, ISBN No.: 81-224-0613-0 Nov-2000 PB, 281pp, $5.80 USD "EXTRA HIGH VOLTAGE AC TRANSMISSION ENGINEERING" (2nd Edition) Author: Rakosh Das Begamudre, ISBN: 81-224-0278-X (PB) IIBFN:AB-25559, 580pp, $8.11 USD Wadhwa's book is a great HV laboratory techniques book. In fact, some sections look quite similar to Meek and Cragg's High Voltage Laboratory Techniques, but brought up to date. It also has excellent photos of various high voltage test and measurement equipment, including a 1.8 MV transformer cascade, 6.4 MV impulse generator, a 1.05 MV series resonant test system, and huge voltage dividers. Begamudre's book is also very technical - the discussion of E-fields in bundled conductors and corona prevention is very thorough. It has sections covering voltage gradients of conductors, corona effects, lightning and lightning protection, switching impulses, insulation characteristics of long air gaps, and EHV testing techniques. Both are excellent books for the serious high voltage experimenter and researcher. I have no connection whatsoever with Oscar Publishing or Dr. Gogia - these books are simply too good for serious HV researchers/experimenters to pass up, they're in print, available, and VERY affordable.
