Designing Switch/Routers Fundamental Concepts and Design Methods

This book examines the fundamental concepts and design methods associated with switch/routers. It discusses the main factors that are driving the changing network landscape and propelling the continuous growth in demand for bandwidth and high-performance network devices. Designing Switch/Routers: Fundamental Concepts and Design Methods focuses on the essential concepts that underlie the design of switch/routers in general. This book considers the switch/router as a generic Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding device without placing an emphasis on any particular manufacturer’s device. The underlying concepts and design methods are not only positioned to be applicable to generic switch/routers but also to the typical switch/routers seen in the industry. The discussion provides a better insight into the protocols methods processes and tools involved in designing switch/routers. The author discusses the design goals and features switch/router manufacturers consider when designing their products as well as the advanced and value-added features along with the steps used to build practical switch/routers. The last two chapters discuss real-world 6 switch/router architectures that employ the concepts and design methods described in the previous chapters. This book provides an introductory level discussion of switch/routers and is written in a style accessible to undergraduate and graduate students engineers and researchers in the networking and telecoms industry as well as academics and other industry professionals. The material and discussion are structured to serve as standalone teaching material for networking and telecom courses and/or supplementary material for such courses. | Designing Switch/Routers Fundamental Concepts and Design Methods

The Vacuum Interrupter Theory Design and Application

The Vacuum Interrupter Theory Design and Application

Title: The Vacuum Interrupter: Theory Design and ApplicationShelving guide: Electrical Engineering Dr. Paul Slade draws from his nearly six decades of active experience to develop this second edition of The Vacuum Interrupter: Theory Design and Application. This book begins by discussing the design requirements for high voltage vacuum interrupters and then the contact requirements to interrupt the vacuum arc. It then continues by describing the various applications in which the vacuum interrupter is generally utilized. Part 1 of this book begins with a detailed review of the vacuum breakdown process. It continues by covering the steps necessary for the design and the manufacture of a successful vacuum interrupter. The vacuum arc is then discussed including how it is affected as a function of current. An overview of the development and use of practical contact materials along with their advantages and disadvantages follows. Contact designs that are introduced to control the high current vacuum arc are also analyzed. Part 2 on application begins with a discussion of the arc interruption process for low current and high current vacuum arcs. It examines the voltage escalation phenomenon that can occur when interrupting inductive circuits. The occurrence of contact welding for closed contacts subjected to the passage of high currents and for contacts when closing on high currents is explored. The general requirements for the successful manufacture and testing of vacuum circuit breakers is then presented. The general application of vacuum interrupters to switch load currents especially when applied to capacitor circuits is also given. The interruption of high short circuit currents is presented along with the expected performance of the two major contact designs. Owing to the ever-increasing need for environmentally friendly circuit protection devices the development and application of the vacuum interrupter will only increase in the future. At present the vacuum circuit breaker is the technology of choice for distribution circuits (5kV to 40. 5kV). It is increasingly being applied to transmission circuits (72. 5kV to 242kV). In the future its application for protecting high voltage DC networks is assured. Audience This is a practical source book for engineers and scientists interested in studying the development and application of the vacuum interrupter Research scientists in industry and universities Graduate students beginning their study of vacuum interrupter phenomena Design engineers applying vacuum interrupters in vacuum switches vacuum contactors vacuum circuit breakers and vacuum contactors It provides a unique and comprehensive review of all aspects of vacuum interrupter technology for those new to the subject and for those who wish to obtain a deeper understanding of its science and application Scientists and engineers who are beginning their research into vacuum breakdown and aspects of the vacuum arc will find the extensive bibliography and phenomenological descriptions to be a useful introduction | The Vacuum Interrupter Theory Design and Application
