Summary

A comprehensive guide to the design, characterization, and operation of electromagnetic protective devices used in power systems. It not only helps in guarding against electric surges (including lightning surges), but also enables the capture, storage, transport, and use of these electromagnetic energies. It covers such protective devices as lumped resistors, high quality inductors, low dielectric capacitors, closed core reactors, saturable resistors, and hybrid combinations of these devices.
