Features: This book introduces the discharge processes, insulation characteristics, and electric field structures of gases, solids, and liquid dielectrics, as well as the factors affecting discharge, such as atmospheric conditions. It covers the insulation features of high-voltage insulation, insulation methods, and surface discharge under high voltage. Additionally, it discusses the generation methods, principles, and basic setups of alternating current (AC), direct current (DC), and impulse high voltages, as well as the measurement techniques for these types of voltages. The book also explores the generation and protection of lightning impulse voltages and switching surge overvoltages. This textbook is designed for the foundational course in the "Electrical Engineering" discipline at universities and colleges. It can also serve as a reference for related courses and is suitable for high-voltage professionals in the power industry, electrical equipment manufacturing sector, and other fields.
