BEE4203 High Voltage Engineering

The course provides students with knowledge on the fundamentals governing generation and control in high voltage power systems.

Course Objectives
By the end of the course students should be able to:

• Understand the generation and measurement of high voltages
• Understand electric fields and field stress control around high voltage systems
• Understand the phenomena involved in non-destructive insulation and testing as well as over voltages in power systems.

Learning Outcomes
Having successfully completed the module, you will be able to:

• Apply solid, liquid and gas insulation for a range of high voltage apparatus.
• Understand the concept of insulation coordination.
• Use the Bewley Lattice Diagram to calculate surge voltage experienced by high voltage apparatus.
• Assess the lifetime of insulation based on accelerated ageing tests.
