Author Description

Engineers in the power systems area, manufacturers of high voltage equipment, consultants, and graduate students This video covers four presentations, plus a company site visit. The overheads for each segment are included in the packaging. -- Basic Principles of Electric and Magnetic Fields: This presentation reviews electric and magnetic fields necessary to understand the following presentations. The presenter discusses material properties, space charge, and distributed capacitance and inductance. -- Basic Principles of Switching: This section details travelling waves, transient recovery voltage, current chopping, capacitor switching, and switchgear operation. -- Transient Voltages in Windings: The presenter talks about network models for transformers and electric machines. The discussion includes application of lightning arrectors and methods to control voltage distribution in windings. A discussion of modern computer models that include losses and magnetic saturation is covered. -- Insulation Materials and Dielectric Design: This segment has an overview of high voltage insulating systems and covers solid, liquid, and gaseous insulation systems. Statistical design methods and experimental work are included. Viewers should have a background in electrical engineering and have an exposure to electric and magnetic fields and basic circuit analysis. This tutorial is ideal for engineers working on the design of high voltage equipment, users of high voltage equipment, technical people responsible for the purchasing, operation and maintenance of high voltage equipment, managers responsible for the operation of high voltage equipment, electrical engineering or physics studentsstudying high voltage phenomena. After completing the tutorial, viewers will understand most of the basic problems in high voltage design. They will be able to make more informed judgements when selecting and applying equipment or if designing equipment will be exposed to the most modern t
