Master lecture series: High voltage testing and diagnostics

This series of lectures provides insight into the various aspects of testing high-voltage equipment and the value of the results of these tests. Intended for engineers in electrical engineering or physics, who are involved in the testing of high-voltage equipment and/or asset management. 

Content

• Insulation-coordination: origin, behavior and control of overvoltage
• Generation of test voltages: alternating current, direct current, surge voltage and other types.
• Convectional and optical measurement techniques for high voltage and high current
• Dielectric loss measurements and partial discharge detection. Origins of statistical analysis with Weibull; statistics of the weakest link.
• Lifetime testing at constant and progressive load and the statistical processing of practical data.
• Critical review of a used norm.
• ​Diagnostic tools for lifetime analysis and the use of modern methods for maintenance management.

The masterclasses contains lectures and demonstrations in the high voltage lab.
