The aim has been to provide an up-to-date analysis of the theoretical and practical problems involved in circuit breaker design. Circuit breakers present very special design problems because of the wide mixture of experience required.
Designers need to have an understanding of the parameters of power systems in which circuit breakers have a duty; of the physics of the arc produced during the interrupting process; of electrical engineering which is concerned with the insulation co-ordination and design problems; of mechanical engineering on which the performance and reliability of the operation of the circuit breaker depend; and of the need to meet cost effective criteria.

The aim has been to provide an up-to-date analysis of the theoretical and practical problems involved in circuit breaker design. Circuit breakers present very special design problems because of the wide mixture of experience required.
Designers need to have an understanding of the parameters of power systems in which circuit breakers have a duty; of the physics of the arc produced during the interrupting process; of electrical engineering which is concerned with the insulation co-ordination and design problems; of mechanical engineering on which the performance and reliability of the operation of the circuit breaker depend; and of the need to meet cost effective criteria.
Perhaps because of the wide range of techniques involved, there has until now been very little co-ordinated information available in a form suitable for use at universities and for providing subsequent guidance for postgraduate purposes; and for engineers who are concerned with design, system engineering or the use of circuit breakers, who may need to have, in varying degrees, an understanding of the design problems involved in circuit breakers.
The approach in editing this book has been to invite eminent engineers concerned with circuit breakers to write chapters in areas that are of special interest to them. It has therefore been planned with chapters covering defined subjects. All of the authors are, or have recently been, occupying senior positions in the power circuit breaker industry.

CONDUCTION AND BREAKDOWN IN MINERAL OIL
Mineral oil is the liquid dielectric most often chosen as the insulant in high-voltage cables, transformers and capacitors. This work by Prof. Zaky and Dr. Hawley, besides covering these subjects in depth, brings together for the first time the most important findings on factors affecting electroluminescence and gassing.
This up-to-date review will be of interest to a wide range of research workers and designers in industry and the universities. In particular, designers of high-voltage equipment will find it indispensable, and those engaged in M.Sc. and Ph.D. courses will discover much here to offer new directions to their research.

ELECTRICAL INSULATING MATERIALS
AND THEIR APPLICATION
This book provides the young engineer, physicist or chemist with the background to enable him to pick up current practice, and to read current literature on electrical insulation, quickly and with understanding; it also presents the most recent developments in materials, methods and scientific background to the experienced engineer without dwelling too long on things he has learnt already. It aims at giving due weight to all the factors, mechanical, thermal and electrical, which affect the choice and usage of materials.
The author, working in the electrical manufacturing industry, has had many years contact with practical insulation problems and a lifelong interest in the science of dielectrics. Vissza
