Master lecture series: High voltage technology

This course presents both the basic principles of high voltage science and details with the practical application of this knowledge. Understanding of electrical fields and the application of different tools in designing high voltage components are important in making reliable solutions for electric power industry.

Subjects

• Electric fields
• Breakdown mechanisms in vacuum, gasses and liquids
• Lightning phenomena
• Breakdown of solids; discharges and lifespan issues
• Combinations of materials; practical applications in power transformers, switches, cables, mountings and feedthrough insulators etcetera
• Design procedures

Result

You have insight into the relevant aspects of high voltage. With 'Hoogspanning I' you acquire the basic knowledge that will be useful in your further professional career in this field.

Intended for

These lecture series are intended for engineers (TU/HTO) in electrotechnical engineering or physics, who are involved in the testing of high-voltage equipment.

The lecture consists of two-hour lectures, interspersed with demonstrations in the high-voltage laboratory. There is ample opportunity for discussion during the lecture.

This master lecture series is open to participants PAO Techniek en Management. Regular students of the TU will attend the lecture series too. The lectures will be taught in English.
