(Ebook) Protection of Electricity Distribution Networks, 2nd Edition (IEE Power and Energy Series) by Ted Holmes Juan Gers ISBN 9780863415371, 0863415377

Written by two practicing electrical engineers, this second edition of the bestselling Protection of Electricity Distribution Networks offers both practical and theoretical coverage of the technologies, from the classical electromechanical relays to the new numerical types, which protect equipment on networks and in electrical plants. A properly coordinated protection system is vital to ensure that an electricity distribution network can operate within preset requirements for safety for individual items of equipment, staff and public, and the network overall. Suitable and reliable equipment should be installed on all circuits and electrical equipment and to do this, protective relays are used to initiate the isolation of faulted sections of a network in order to maintain supplies elsewhere on the system. This then leads to an improved electricity service with better continuity and quality of supply.Also available:Power System Protection 1: Principles and components - ISBN 9780852968345Embedded Generation - ISBN 9780852967744The Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the world's leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community.
