Technological advances and structural changes within the electric utility industry mandate that protection engineers develop a solid understanding of the related new technologies as well as of power system operations and economics in order to function proficiently. Continuing in the bestselling tradition of the previous editions by the late J. Lewis Blackburn, Protective Relaying: Principles and Applications, Third Edition retains the fundamentals of protection relays and power system protection while incorporating new developments in the field. Thoroughly updated and revised, this third edition focuses on technological changes in the design of protective systems, the practical concerns of power system protection encountered by users, and the techniques for protecting typical facilities used in modern power systems. New to the Third Edition · Expanded coverage of the requirements for generator intertie protection, generator protection, and generator excitation systems · The latest technologies in microprocessor applications, including digital-based devices and designs · Protection issues, such as capacitor bank protection, underfrequency and undervoltage load shedding, special protection schemes, DC tripping scheme designs, fault location, and event reports Building on the excellence of the preceding editions, this book will continue to serve as a basic reference for newcomers to the area as well as for experienced engineers. By sharing his first-hand experience with protection practices, the author offers valuable realistic insight into this field.

Review:

Perfect for Grads

This Book has a great "A-Z" aspect of protective relaying I highly encourage people just graduating to buy it as a good referance book it will definatly help in almost all aspects of relaying.

Review:

The Definitive Book on the Subject

The definitive book on the subject. It is intended for the profdssional who is in charge of protecting the electric power system. In the new third edition, the book increases its discussion of protection of additional types of equipment including generator (intertie, generator, excitation systems), capacitor bank protection, underfrequency and undervoltage load shedding, special protection schemes, DC tripping scheme designs, fault location and event reports. It is also upgraded to cover the latest technologies in microprocessor applicaions, including digital based devices and designs.

This is the definitive book on the subject. Mr. Blackburn has been a force in the subject for many years and has keep this book current throughs its multiple editions. He provides a real-life perspective on the problems that real working engineers face in their day to day activities.

Review:

An outstanding book

In order to appreciate this book, one must understand the history behind power system protective relaying. As the previous reviewers have mentioned, the two classic bibles in protective relaying is the Westinghouse Protective Relaying book and the Westinghouse T
