High-voltage definition. Tensions affecting the insulation. Electrical discharges (the breakdown voltage, the flashover voltage, corona, partial discharge) in gases, liquid and solid dielectrics with different voltage levels. Types of insulation. High-voltage testing, test equipment and high voltage measurements. Surges. Flash. Commutation surges. Surge protection. Insulation coordination.

The course is aimed to provide an essential knowledge for the high voltage work. Prerequisite are skills and knowledge about the electrical insulation and discharges in
different environments, also about overvoltage, its formation sources and limitation methods.

Graduates from the course have knowledge about electrical discharges in the air, overview about external and internal insulations and their strenght, equipment in high-voltage laboratories, lightning types and surge protection, are able to make high voltage tests and measurements and describe the insulation coordination.

Lectures, tests, practical works.

The course ends with the final account. Positively executed test and practical work are the prerequisites of the accounting. Test consists written questions within the framework of the lecture material. The final grade will turn out from the average grades of the test and the practical work.
