Lightning Discharge and Fundamentals of Lightning Protection

A review of lightning protection concepts introduced by Benjamin Franklin (18th century) and James Clerk Maxwell (19th century) is given. Modern approaches to lightning protection of various structures and systems are discussed. In particular, the widely used electrogeometrical model (one version of which is the Rolling Sphere Method) and the topological shielding are presented. Bonding require...

The Biologic Fundamentals of Radiation Therapy

This timely book is one of those texts which presents the technical details of blood transfusion methods against a background of the facts underlying blood grouping. Generalizations, however alluring, are of small value when the actual application of a technical method is demanded. Hence, any text which offers the precise details of procedure finds a place in the hands of anyone upon whom rests...

Shunt Capacitor Bank Fundamentals and Protection

Shunt capacitor banks are used to improve the quality of the electrical supply and the efficient operation of the power system. Studies show that a flat voltage profile on the system can significantly reduce line losses. Shunt capacitor banks are relatively inexpensive and can be easily installed anywhere on the network. This paper reviews principles of shunt capacitor bank design for substatio...
