This book proposes the air insulation prediction theory and method in the subject of electrical engineering. Prediction of discharge voltage in different cases are discussed and worked out by simulation. After decades, now bottlenecks of traditional air discharge theories can be solved with this book. Engineering applications of the theory in air gap discharge voltage prediction are introduced. This book serves as reference for graduate students, scientific research personnel and engineering staff in the related fields.

Proposes brand new air insulation prediction theory and methods Introduces engineering applications of the theory in air gap discharge voltage prediction in various cases Discusses different cases of air insulation with simulation, including corona onset voltage, power frequency breakdown voltage, impluse and discharge voltage
