Description

  • English Description

    Introduction: HV and EHV power system installations and equipment. Overvoltage phenomena and high frequency transients: External overvoltages. Lightning phenomena, characteristics of the lightning strokes. Internal overvoltages; switching surges characteristics, calculations. Overvoltages originated from system faults and others abnormal conditions. Insulation Coordination on HV and EHV Power Systems. Transient Overvoltages. Travelling Waves And overvoltages. Overvoltage Protection and Neutral Earthing. Earthing Systems. Safety Regulations.
