ECCE 422 High Voltage Engineering
The course provides the fundamental concepts and methods for generation and measurement of ac, dc, and impulse high voltages and high currents. It includes basic concepts of electrical insulation requirements, over voltages and principles of overvoltage protection in power systems, high voltage testing techniques and associated standards. An introduction to basic conduction and breakdown mechanisms in gases, solids and liquids is given. An overview of overhead line insulators (material, shape, performance), and underground cables (single and three-core cables, electrical stresses; equivalent circuits) is also provided.
