(Electrical Engineering) 1st Edition
by Olivier Gallot-Lavallée (Author)
An introduction to the physics of
electrical insulation, this book presents the physical foundations of
this discipline and the resulting applications. It is structured in two
parts. The first part presents a mathematical and intuitive approach to
dielectrics; various concepts, including polarization, induction, forces
and losses are discussed. The second part provides readers with the
keys to understanding the physics of solid, liquid and gas insulation.
It comprises a phenomenological description of discharges in gas and its
resulting applications. Finally, the main electrical properties of
liquids and solids are presented, in order to explain the phenomena of
electrical degradation, dissipation and breakdown.
