Purpose and Content

The aim of the course To learn why high voltage (HV) is used, and to introduce HV problems and HV applications. To learn analytical and numerical electrostatic field computation methods and evaluate discharge phenomena at high electric fields. To introduce basic breakdown phenomena and their properties at gas, solid and liquid dielectrics. To provide origins of overvoltages and protection against them. To learn the principles of generation, measurement of high voltages, and their safety protocols.
Course Content High voltage transmission lines: Structure and components. Electrostatic fields: basic electrode systems, approximate calculation of maximum electric field strength, electrode systems with multi-dielectrics, numerical methods for electrostatic field calculations. Introduction to discharge phenomena: discharge in gases, solid and liquid dielectrics. Introduction to the origin of overvoltages and protection against them. Generation and measurement of high voltages, safety in high voltage testing.
