This highly illustrated and practical book surveys techniques available to protect LV equipment and systems from lightning strikes and other surges. After examining the physical origins and effects of these phenomena, it concentrates on the components and applications of protective measures and systems, placed in the context of current IEC and VDE standards. This unique book provides the reader with a thorough background in almost every aspect of lightning and its impact on electrical and electronic equipment. The contents range from basic discharge processes in air through transient electromagnetic field generation and interaction with overhead lines and underground cables, to lightning protection and testing techniques. This book is of value to anyone designing, installing or commissioning equipment, which needs to be secured against lightning strikes, as well as being a sound introduction to research students working in the field.
This book presents the scientific outcomes of the conference 11th Days of Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences, held in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, June 20–23, 2019. Including innovative applications of advanced technologies, it offers a uniquely comprehensive, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary overview of the latest developments in a broad range of technologies and methodologies, viewed through the prism of computing, networking, information technology, robotics, complex systems, communications, energy, mechanical engineering, economics and medicine, among others.
This book reflects fundamentals to the power system and equips them to recognize and solve the transient problems in power networks and its components. Initially the book represents the basic MATLAB simulink instructions and their applications for power system design. Practicality has been a paramount concern in its preparation. Many pioneers of electrical engineering explored the transient behaviors of the electric circuits. This book effectively helpful for the graduate, post graduate studies and researches on power system transients and emergence & reemergence the problems in the power system operations and control for new applications with new equipment under transients. I have attempted to set out the fundamental ideas at the beginning of the book and made consistent effort to show thereafter how one peels away the superficial differences in practical transient studies by referring various books, researches, and physical industrial visits.

This book highlights the essential theoretical and practical aspects of lightning, lightning protection, safety and education. Additionally, several auxiliary topics that are required to understand the core themes are also included. The main objective of the contents is to enlighten the scientists, researchers, engineers and social activists (including policy makers) in developing countries regarding the key information related to lightning and thunderstorms. A majority of developing countries are in tropics where the lightning characteristics are somewhat different from those in temperate regions. The housing structures and power/communication networks, and human behavioural patterns(that depends on socio-economic parameters) in these countries are also different from those in the developed world. As the existing books on similar themes address only those scenarios in developed countries, this book serves a vast spectrum of readership in developing world who seek knowledge in the principles of lightning and a practical guidance on lightning protection and safety education.
This document specifies classification, general requirements, communication, electric shock protection, connection between electric vehicle and EV energy transfer equipment, special requirements of vehicle adaptor, vehicle coupler and EV plug and socket-outlet, EV energy transfer equipment structure requirement, performance requirement, overload protection and short circuit protection, emergency stop, service conditions, repair, marking and description for electric vehicle conductive charging system. Note 1: Where no confusion is caused, the ¡°EV energy transfer equipment¡± in this document is referred to as ¡°supply equipment¡±. This document is applicable to current-controlled and/or voltage-controlled off-board conductive power supply equipment to achieve one-way/two-way energy flow between the electric vehicle rechargeable electrical energy storage system and the power supply network (power supply). The rated voltage of the power supply network side (side A) does not exceed 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC, and the rated maximum voltage of the electric vehicle
