High-Voltage Engineering is a renowned book that provides a comprehensive discussion on core concepts of the subject area. Written in simple manner, the book provides a holistic understanding of the working principles, advantages and disadvantages of HVE systems to the readers. This sixth edition of the book is thoroughly revised to include latest information on insulating materials, breakdown phenomena, and over-voltage. It also provides an in-depth discussion on different high-voltage testing techniques, and applications of high-voltage engineering. The book caters the needs of final-year undergraduate students or postgraduate students of Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, and Applied Physics. It will be equally handy for engineers involved in design and development of electrical equipment, electricity supply and utility establishments.

M S Naidu was a Professor in the Department of High-Voltage Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. A PhD from the University of Liverpool, he served as a visiting scientist at the High-Voltage Laboratory of the Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands. He had also given lectures at many high-voltage laboratories in West Germany, Switzerland and France.

Professor Naidu was a Chartered Engineer, a Fellow of the Institution Of Engineers (India) and also a Fellow of the National Academy of Engineering. His research interests included gaseous insulation, circuit-breaker arcs, pollution under HVDC, etc. He published many research papers and authored Advances in High Voltage Breakdown and Arc Interruption in SF6 and Vacuum (Pergamon Press, 1981). A book on Gas Insulated Substations that had been authored by him, was published in 2008. Professor Naidu passed away in February 2002.
