This book is about high-voltage electrical engineering with a particular focus on marine applications. It introduces the fundamentals of high voltage, including voltage stresses, electric fields, insulation requirements, safety procedures, and the hazards associated with high-voltage systems.It also explains breakdown mechanisms in solid, gaseous, and liquid dielectrics, methods for generating and measuring high voltages and currents, and the high-voltage testing of electrical equipment such as insulators, circuit breakers, cables, and transformers. A major section is devoted to high-voltage systems on ships, covering marine power-distribution systems, neutral earthing, shore-to-ship connections, transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, and safety practices. Overall, the book provides both theoretical knowledge and practical safety guidance for the operation, testing, maintenance, and application of high-voltage electrical systems in marine environments.
