Book Description
SF6 is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic gas (down to -20 degrees C) which has nearly ideal properties as an arc-quenching medium. Ryan and Jones (electrical engineering, Sunderland Polytechnic and U. of Liverpool) review the characteristics of SF6, discuss arc modelling methods, its use in switchgears, operation of circuit breakers; and reflect upon its impact on regulations, testing and instrumentation. History and synthesis are neglected. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Vacuum Switchgear
Author: Allan Greenwood
Publisher: IET
ISBN: 9780852968550
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Drawing from his 40 years of experience in the field, Greenwood (engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic) describes the development of vacuum switchgear technology from its earliest origins to the most recent designs now offered by companies around the world. The volume begins with a foundation in the physics of the vacuum arc, in vacuum breakdown, and in the fundamentals of current interruption in vacuum. A chapter on applications spans all devices from contactors through switches and reclosers to power circuit breakers. Maintenance is also addressed. There are four chapters on different aspects of design and another on testing. The chapter on manufacturing concentrates on the interrupter as its manufacture is so entirely different from that required for oil and gas-blast circuit breakers. Thoroughly illustrated. Distributed by INSPEC. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases: Scientific Understanding, Control and Implementation
Author: J. van Ham
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401593434
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 650
Book Description
In the climate change discussion, non-CO2 greenhouse gases (NCGGs) received official political recognition for the first time in 1997, when agreement was reached on the Kyoto Protocol. As a result methane, nitrous oxide, HFCs, PFCs and SF6 now provide attractive options for detailing the national targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions meant to control climate change. This book is the second volume in this area and addresses three main topics. Firstly, it documents progress with respect to our knowledge of the sources and sinks of NCGGs. Information on this subject is essential in order to reduce the uncertainties in national emissions inventories which serve as the reference values for commitments of countries in the framework of the Kyoto Protocol. Secondly, this volume deals with the control options for the NCGGs and contains a wealth of information in this area. Emerging technologies here provide business opportunities, in particular in connection with the flexible mechanisms for mitigation projects in developing countries which have been agreed in Kyoto. Thirdly, the book treats the policy implementation of mitigation options for greenhouse gas emissions. Tools for control policies, both on the national and international level, and for different sectors of industry are discussed. National integrated approaches, including the ones from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Netherlands Ministry of Environment which both sponsored the conference, provide guidance for defining the most effective greenhouse gases mitigation plans in different situations. This volume is being published in support of the IPCC Process and will serve as a reference for IPCC's Third Assessment Report.
