An uninterrutible power supply (UPS) can avoid potentially catastrophic havoc caused by electricity supply line disturbances. This book is a comprehensive guide to the various types of UPS systems available, showing how they may be specified and applied effectively.

This book successfully details the theoretical and practical background to low voltage conducted disturbances including harmonics, voltage fluctuation/flicker and asymmetrical voltages.

This book shows how vacuum arcs and current interruption in vacuum are different from gaseous arcs and interruption in gas circuit breakers, and leads the reader to understand these differences.

This book is intended to explain the technical principles involved in the many AC variable speed drive systems available today. It deals with all the DC link inverter and direct AC to AC converter systems that are in commercial use.

This book provides a compact yet comprehensive treatment of advanced data-driven signal processing techniques for the analysis and characterization of both ambient power system data and transient oscillations resulting from major disturbances.

This book concentrates on the mechanical aspects of distribution wood pole lines, including live line working, environmental influences, climate change and international standards.

Wide area monitoring, protection and control systems (WAMPACs) have been recognized as the most promising enabling technologies to meet the challenges of modern electric power transmission systems. This book provides an overview of this emerging technology.

Fault Diagnosis for Robust Inverter Power Drives focuses on early diagnosis, prognosis, and intrinsic reliability of inverter power drives and their applications. Topics include material degradation, materials, semiconductors, inverter topologies, and early diagnosis as well as fault tolerant software strategies.
