About this book
This CIGRE Green Book provides the entire know-how about switches in a high voltage system. The switching equipment includes circuit breakers, vacuum interrupters, disconnecting switches, and earthing switches used in AC & DC transmission and distribution systems. The Green book describes different switching equipments and their roles in the power systems. It explains the fundamental switching behaviors in power systems targeted for practitioners and students and joining electrical industries. The Green book also covers fundamental specific subjects including DC circuit breakers, controlled switching, fault current limiting devices and future technologies.
Like all Green books, this book covers the cumulative understanding of numerous experts in the CIGRE study committee. It offers the approved and outstanding practical knowledge of CIGRE Study committee A3 and was collected by Dr. Hiroki Ito.

About the editor
CIGRE Study Committee A3 facilitates and promotes the progress of engineering and the international exchange of information and knowledge in the field of high voltage equipment. Its goal is to add value to this information and knowledge by means of synthesizing state-of-the-art practices and developing recommendations.
Hiroki Ito joined Mitsubishi Electric Corporation in 1984, where he had engaged in the research and development of high voltage DC and AC gas circuit breakers. From 1989 to 1991, he worked in the Coordinated Science Laboratory at the University of Illinois. In 1994, he received his Ph.D. from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. He was the technical director of Mitsubishi Electric High Voltage and High Power Testing Laboratories from 2005 to 2012. He is currently the Senior Chief Engineer of Energy and Industrial System Center, Mitsubishi Electric. In CIGRE, hewas the convener of CIGRE WG A3.22 and 28 that investigated the specifications of UHV substation equipment. He is also a member of IEC 62271-310 MT40: Electrical endurance tests of circuit breakers, and IEC 62271-302: Controlled switching. From 2012 to 2018, he has been the Chairman of CIGRE Study Committee A3: High voltage equipment.
