Ask control systems engineers what the term “high voltage” means to them, and you’re liable to get an answer such as “anything over 50V”. Ask a utility lineman the same question, and you may hear ...

What is partial discharge? Methods for measuring PD. How PD impacts high-voltage cables. Partial discharge (PD) is evidence of a degrading insulation system, which could trigger costly repairs and ...

Main steps in designing high-voltage systems. Attaining high reliability and high efficiency for high voltage. What are Pockels cells? A look at Marx pulse generators and a proposed boost version of ...

The National Electric Safety Code (NESC) includes a clause sometimes referred to as the “5-mA Rule,” which states: For voltages exceeding 98 kV ac to ground, either the clearances shall be increased ...

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology offers several advantages compared to alternating current transmission systems. For example, it allows more efficient bulk power transfer over long ...

High-voltage power transmission systems are more important today than ever before because power generated at renewable energy sites in remote locations must often be transmitted to distant load ...

Why is understanding high-voltage oil-filled transformer bushings so critical? High-voltage power transformers are an essential component of our nation's electric grid infrastructure. Bushings are the ...
