Transients in Electrical Systems: Analysis, Recognition, and Mitigation 1st Edition

J.C. Das is an excellent author. I always considered Allan Greenwood's Transients book to be the go-to reference, but this one has surpassed it. I recommend you have both if you are seriously interested in this subject. Note: I didn't give it 5 stars because the quality of the printed book has gone down since i first bought a copy. This latest version is twice as thick, printed on rough paper (not glossy like the original), and appears to be a poor job of binding.

I was hesitant to buy this book for $20 when my bookstore sells it for $150 plus. The book took about two weeks to arrive but it was well worth the wait. When I opened the book, the binding crackled like it had never been opened. If you're considering this book, look no further.

I believe this book should serve as new & summarized treatment of Greenwood's book

I have not gone through the entire book although it seems to discuss modern switching transient subjects such as GIS Very Fast Transients.I am disappoint at the printing quality as it seems like it was done with an inkjet printer on a normal printing paper (you would not expect that for a $150 product).

I'm starting to use it and have found it is helpful if you want to have brief knowledge about electromagnetic transients and are begining with that topic, however if you need a deep review better buy other book

Good detail instruction for engineers.

The book is unique in that it contains lots of EMTP simulations that provide a real world feel of the transients and help the user understand the nature of the transients. Some sections of the book are very mathematical and should appeal to academia and advanced professionals that deal with electrical transients, but simultaneously the beginners can benefit immensely from the book and have a clear understanding. The very comprehensive nature of the book is another unique feature, for example transients in grounding systems, lightning protection of structures, GIS, DC systems and the like are covered in detail.
