Lubrication of Electrical and Mechanical Components in Electric Power Equipment

Bella Chudnovsky earned her PhD in the fields of Applied Physics and Material Science at Rostov State University (RSU) in Russia. For the first 25 years of her career, she worked as a successful scientist for the Institute of Physics at RSU and at the University of Cincinnati since 1992. During the last 12 years of her career, she worked as an R&D engineer for Schneider Electric-Square D Company, where her principal areas of activities were aimed at resolving multiple aging problems and developing means of mitigating deteriorating processes in power distribution equipment. In this field, she has published 40 papers in both national and international technical journals and conferences proceedings. After her retirement in 2009, she worked on the book summarizing all what was previously investigated and studied on multiple topics of aging and life extension techniques in electrical industry. First edition of the book was published in December 2012 by CRC Press (Taylor and Francis Group). In the second edition of the book, published in February 2017, she updated the book and included the review of the issues of aging and means of life extension techniques for renewable energy power equipment. She is currently working on the third book focused on lubrication of electrical power equipment.
