High voltage systems
Q Su
3 points + 16 lectures, 9 tutorial/laboratory hours + Second semester
+ Clayton + Prerequisites: ECS2320
Objectives The student is expected to develop a basic understanding of
transmission line theory, external and internal overvoltages and protection
methods in electrical power systems and a knowledge of high voltage test
techniques.
Synopsis Protection zones in power systems; differential, distance and
pilot wire protection; physics of circuit interruption; circuit breakers;
current chopping and restriking voltages. Underground cables; transmission line
phenomena; calculation of surge performance. Lightning phenomena and its effect
on a power system. High voltage measurement and testing; insulation
coordination; partial discharges; ageing of insulation.
Assessment Examination (2 hours): 60% + Assignments: 20% + Laboratory
work: 20%
