High voltage R&D, analysis and calculations
You are planning to use high voltage technology, for example in atomotive, train or aerospace environments or for technological processes?
Based on your objectives I support you with many years of experience:
- finding ideas for an optimum solution for your application,
- suggestions for the optimum design of high voltage components and insulation,
- substantiated with the necessary field calculations and advice for earthing and safety
Among others I will consider:
- Environment of use (stationary, mobile, aerospace or automotive, max. altitude, rain etc.)
- Distances for operation and safety
- EMI sources, shielding and EMC
- and other parameters
High voltage test fields
You are planning, operating or extending a high voltage test lab? I support you with more than 11 years of experience in this area:
- Analyzing the testing demand according to the relevant standards and the goals of your R&D,
- Determination of the necessary test voltages and performance parameters of the test systems,
- Specifying the test systems for your purchasing department, and evaluating offers,
- Designing the test field for optimum speed and leanness of testing, sufficient shielding and earthing, and fulfillment of safety requirements
- As well as automation of testing, measurements and evaluation
Fault analysis
You are investigating the cause of an insulation problem or breakdown? I support you with analyzing:
- Locating the fault, if not already known
- Investigating the cause by examination and calculations
- Advice for the further steps for repair and prevention of subsequent faults
Seminars
I offer seminars concerning these questions for you and your staff:
- Why and how shall tests be made?
- Behavior of various insulation materials under the influence of voltage and temperature
- Atmospheric correction factors, design of high voltage equipment for higher altitudes
- Relevant standards, their requirements, and the reasons behind them
- Differences of type and routine tests, things they have in common, and their respecive range of coverage
- Voltage wave shapes in operation and during tests
- Generation of test voltages, available types of systems
- Measuring equipment and its usage in high voltage applications
- Partial discharges, sensitive PD measurement and loss factor (tan δ)
- Practical operation of test fields, safety, shielding and earthing
- Fundamentals of electric field calculation, numerical methods
- Statistics in high voltage, enlargement law concerning geometrical size and duration of electrical stress
Seminars on your desired topics can be held at your premises, in Dresden, Germany or at any other place you request.
