Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Generation and measurement of high voltages, electrostatic fields and field stress control, electrical breakdown in gases, breakdown in solid and liquid dielectrics, flashover along interphases, partial discharges, transients on transmission lines
Learning Outcome
At the end of the module students are able to apply the relevant knowledge concerning the generation and measurement of high AC, DC and impulse voltages. Electric field distributions can be calculated. The discharge processes in gaseous, liquid and solid dielectrics as well as partial discharge processes are understood and travelling wave phenomena can be analyzed. Thus, the students are able to design and test high voltage insulation systems and apparatus.

Learning and Teaching Methods
In addition to the lectures there will be tutorials. Several relevant methods such as different simulations and models (e.g. field distribution in high voltage bushing, dimensioning of high voltage generators and calculation of the impulse voltage curve) will be used in order to solve the exercises by means of calculation. The applied method of teaching is to deliver lectures and to assist in solving exercises.
