Overview

In recent years Electrical Switchgear Protection & Energy Management is being used extensively in Electrical Engineering, Microprocessor, Electrical Drives and Power Electronics research and many other things. This rapid progress in Electrical & Electronics Engineering has created an increasing demand for trained Electrical Engineering personnel. Switchgear essentially consists of switching and protecting devices such as switches, fuses, isolators, circuit breakers, protective relays, control panels, lightning arrestors, current transformers, potential transformers, auto reclosures, and various associated equipment. Switchgear plays a vital role in the overall power distribution and consumption system. Generally speaking, switchboards are the term one uses to designate low voltage switching whereas switchgear connotes HT usage scenarios. The term switchgear refers to a collection of various devices such as: -Fuses-Circuit breakers-Isolators-Relays, coils-Disconnect switches-Current transformers for sensing and monitoring as well as protectionAll these components of switchgear may be contained in a suitable metal cabinet that is usually earthed for safety reasons. However, HT distribution systems with large circuit breakers and switchgear are usually housed in a building. Apart from switching on and off electricity supply, switchgear must also control power to the load, detect overload conditions and have features to automatically trip, such as circuit breakers. This protects the equipment that consumes power and it also keeps cables and switchgear protected. Switchgear may also have multiple sources of supply and automatically switch load in case one source fails.This book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students specializing in Electronics Engineering. It will also serve as reference material for engineers employed in industry. The fundamental concepts and principles behind electronics engineering are explained in a simple, easy- to- understand manner. Each chapter contains a large number of solved example or problem which will help the students in problem solving and designing of switchgear and Protections. The book Electrical Switchgear, Protection & Energy Management is written to cater to the needs of the undergraduate courses in the discipline of Electronics & Communication Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Information Technology, Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering and postgraduate students specializing in Electronics. It will also serve as reference material for engineers employed in industry. The fundamental concepts and principles behind of Electrical Switchgear Protection & Energy Management are explained in a simple, easy- to- understand manner. Each Chapter of book gives the design of Electrical Engineering that can be done by students of B.E./B.Tech/ M/Tech. level.Salient Features-Comprehensive Coverage of Electrical Switchgear, Protection, Earthing System & Energy Management.-This book contains a large number of solved example or objective type's problem which will help the students in problem solving and designing of Electrical Switchgear, Protection, Earthing System & Energy Management.-Clear perception of the various problems with a large number of neat, well drawn and illustrative diagrams. -Simple Language, easy- to- understand manner. I do hope that the text book in the present form will meet the requirement of the students doing graduation in Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering and Electrical & Electronics Engineering. I will appreciate any suggestions from students and faculty members alike so that we can strive to make the text book more useful in the edition to come.
