“... a timely and excellent book ... Researchers, professors, graduate students, design, and practicing professionals in the field of power engineering would find this book quite informative and useful for the studies and analysis of the transient phenomenon.”
This book provides an understanding of various power system components and their failure modes, as well as the various types of protective relays used to detect and isolate abnormal power system conditions. The author shows readers how to recognize conditions and system configurations in which power system protection can be optimized.
