Based on the collected lectures of professor F.H. Kreuger delivered at the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, part one of this two volume set provides engineers and electrical engineering students with practical instruction on electrical fields. Topics discussed include field calculation and plotting, field grading and a discussion of permissible field strengths. Detailed illustrations and sample equations are provided throughout. Kruger is the former director of the university's industrial high voltage laboratory, and is an expert on discharge detection. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
