Course Objectives		1) To teach why we use high voltage (HV) and to introduce HV problems and HV applications 2) To teach analytical, numerical and experimental electrostatic field computation methods and to evaluate discharge phenomena at high electric fields, 3) To introduce basic breakdown phenomena and their properties at gas, solid, and liquid dielectrics, 4) To provide origins of overvoltages and protection against them. 5) To introduce risks, measures and conditions of high voltage (HV) studies, 6) To teach importance, principles, and methods of HV generation and measurement, 7) To practice design and assemble of HV generation and measurement system, 8) To teach to draw up a report and evaluation of test results, 9) To encourage experimental research
Course Description		Electrical Field Analysis: experimental and computational methods, electrical breakdown in gasses, Townsend’s breakdown criterion, Paschen’s law, Streamer or “Kanal” mechanisms, breakdown in non-uniform field and corona, electrical break down of dielectric liquids and solids, insulating materials, dielectric measurements, generation and measurement of high AC, DC and impulse voltages and currents, electrostatic generators, testing transformers and series resonant circuits, impulse voltage and current generator circuits, sphere and uniform field gaps, electrostatic generating and peak voltage measuring voltmeters.
Course Outcomes		1) To know why we use high voltage (HV), HV types, and HV applications, 2) To compute electrostatic fields for all type electrode systems, 3) To design electrode system and HV device, 4) To understand discharge phenomena, to prevent them or to use them, 5) To know origins of overvoltage and protection against them, 6) To introduce insulation coordination concept, 7) To know HV parameters, generation and measurement principles, and methods, 8) To know generation and measurement of HV alternating voltages, 9) To know generation and measurement of HV direct voltages, 10) To know generation and measurement of HV impulse voltages, 11) To evaluate and to interpret test results.
Pre-requisite(s)		Electromagnetic Theory
Required Facilities		Computer Usage: For electrical field analysis, students are going to use analytic methods and the finite difference method. Teaching Techniques: Classroom instruction includes a tutorial. Students are encouraged to contact the instructor for discussing points they find difficult to understand. Labs and visits will be assigned to reinforce the practical skills for the students.
