Preface

This book on power switching components is the result of two courses, which have been taught by the authors at the University of Tehran and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology for more than 10 years. It is designed primarily to serve as a textbook for a one-semester university course for graduate or senior undergraduate students in electric power engineering or other related disciplines. It may also be used for self-study purposes, for persons with a general background in electrical engineering, as it contains many detailed and self-explaining examples. A selection of some parts of this book may also be used to cover the important topics on current interruption as a part of a more general course in high voltage apparatus or high voltage technology. The authors have made efforts to make the present book reasonably compact, but at the same time to cover all the important topics related to power switchgears that use mechanically sep
