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.

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.

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.

All you need to Know about Protective Relaying

This book gives a very good guide for the technician or engineer about
the way relay protection is designed to work.

Good Learning or Reference Book

As a veteran substation automation and SCADA engineer, I was looking for something to deepen my knowledge of protective relaying schemes. This book is an excellent source of basic relaying information. It provides insights into all the major types of protection schemes, but I did find it a little weak when it comes to in-depth explanations. Its coverage of the new generation of microprocessor-based relays is pretty much a 30,000 ft overview of them, which is too bad, since they are the main form of relaying being deployed at present. Considering that it was published in its latest revision quite recently, I was diappointed by the lack of microprocessor-based relaying and the vast capabilities this new technology provides.

Disappointing

I had read a lot about this book before I bought it. It is seen as one of the classics for the subject. However I have found it disappointing. Where the blurb suggests that the book tries to cover IEC and IEEE rules, it is heavily biased towards the American system. This is ok for covering the basic technology but it doesn't help those engineers practicing outside North America.
The final nail in the coffin is that somehow the ANSI/IEEE C37.2 device list at the beginning of the book is all wrong. Five device numbers are completely omitted and all devices from 16 to 89 are misnamed. It doesn't give the reader much confidence for the editing of the rest of the book.
