Summary
High Volt provides theoretical base of electric strength,
shows its applications for insulation dimensioning of
electrical devices by respect of overvoltages. It describes
device of test laboratories and high volt measurements
problematic. Basic knowledge is supplemented with EMC,
technical diagnostics, electrostatics and use of discharges.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
gain knowledge about ground of high voltage technique
understanding variously phenomenons
ability to use knowledge for dimensioning high voltage devices
