Publications

(i) Book :

“High Voltage Insulation Engineering” - Behaviour of Dielectrics, their Properties and Applications, Wiley Eastern, New Delhi (1995), reprint (1999 & 2001) first advance level book in English describing the fundamentals and novel concepts of the subject developed in Germany.

This book is the outcome of the development of courses at TU Dresden and IIT Kanpur. It makes full use of rich German as well as English literature available in this particular field. Prof. Wolfgang Mosch of TU Dresden is the co-author. There are excellent reviews of this book worldwide.

Manuscript of my second book "High Voltage and Insulation Engineering" is at final stage of preparation. This book incorporates developmental work in the subject performed at IIT Kanpur and the world after 1995.
