High Voltage EquipmentCourse code: 120407 | 6 ECTS credits
Basic information
Level of Studies:Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study:2
Semester:3
Requirements:None
Goal:The goal of the course is to educate students about operating principles and design of high voltage equipment and devices. Also, students should learn about the requirements and technical characteristics of equipment, as well as how devices are to be chosen. Students are to be familiar with control of equipment and operating mechanisms of devices.
Outcome:After exam passed, students should be able to recognize high voltage devices, to know their operating principles, and to be able to select them in the projects. Also, students should know enough about control of devices and dangers that can arise from their usage and maintenance.
Medium voltage fuses - basic elements of design, arc extinguishing, technical characteristics.
Medium voltage fuses - application of fuses for HV transformers, motors, and condensers.
High voltage insulators - types of insulators: post, suspension, composite insulators, and bushings. Application of insulators.
High voltage circuit breakers - arc extinguishing neans, pneumatic, low-oil, sulphur-hexafluoride, and vacuum breakers.
