Transmission-Line Reference Book 345 kV and Above/Second Edition

摘要

This book is intended as a source of technology and data for the electrical design of EHV and UHV transmission lines up to 1500 kV. Much of the information was developed at Project UHV over the past twenty years. Four major design areas are treated: insulation design, corona performance, electric and magnetic fields, and circuit performance including conductor characteristics. In each area, a common set of base-case cir¬cuit designs is analyzed to help the design engineer understand and become sensitive to the items affecting design. Means to measure each discipline are fully explored.nInsulation design for switching surge, lightning, and contami¬nation is treated in depth. Stress versus strength arguments, together with strength data for all practical design situations, are featured for switching-surge design. A step-by-step analy¬sis procedure for lightning insulation suitable for hand-held cal¬culator use is an Innovation in this book.
