Outline (in English)

Course outline:
High voltage and discharge phenomena are Learnt. For example, air, oil and plastic behave as insulating materials (nonconductors) with "normal" voltage application and do not carry current. However, when a sufficiently "high" voltage is applied, dielectric breakdown and discharge phenomena occur with large current path, like lightning. This phenomenon is theoretically learnt by understanding the impact ionization phenomenon in gaseous materials, together with phenomena in liquid and solid materials. Generation and measurement techniques are important from the viewpoint of utilizing high voltage. High voltage is roughly divided into three waveforms, DC, AC, and impulse. Generation and measurement methods corresponding to these waveforms are learnt. In addition, the structure, diagnostic methods and technology trends of some high voltage power equipment, are briefly learnt.

Learning Objectives:
The goals of this course are to obtain the knowledge of high voltage phenomena and to understand insulation design of power equipment, which are required for electric power engineers.

Learning activities outside of classroom:
Before and after each class meeting, students will be expected to prepare and review the textbook. Your required study time is at least one hour for each class meeting.

Grading Criteria/Policies:
Final grade will be calculated based on mid-term report (about 50%), term-end examination (about 50%) and in-class contribution.
