Entry requirements
120 credits in science/engineering including Electromagnetism II, Scientific Computing II/CAD with FEM. Electric Power Measurement Technique. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
Learning outcomes
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe different high voltage sources, their function and analyze suitable areas of use,
- calculate and analyze electric fields for different material combinations and geometries with software, such as COMSOL Multiphysics,
- analyze and explain electrical breakdowns in materials,
- describe electrical overvoltage and evaluate the risk of electrical breakdown in the event of an overvoltage,
- calculate, construct and evaluate a high voltage construction with respect to electric fields and materials based on an insulation coordination.
Content
High voltage generation, calculation of electric fields and dimensioning with COMSOL Multiphysics, electrical breakdown in gases, solid materials and dielectric fluids, electrical overvoltage and insulation coordination. Measurement of electric resistance.
Instruction
Lectures, seminars, laborative work and assignments.
Assessment
Written examination as well as written and oral presentation of assignments with COMSOL Multiphysics.
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
