• High-voltage technology
• Partial Discharge Diagnostics

The aim is to gain fundamental insights into physical effects and parameters for the design, implementation and operation of insulation systems that are subjected to a medium-frequency high voltage superimposed on a system voltage (direct current) (composite voltage). This project focuses on scientific investigations into ignition, discharge characteristics and the interference potential of partial discharges in general, and tracking discharges in particular, as they occur in areas of high electric field strength and low electrical strength, e.g. at the internal and external interfaces of solid insulating materials. These are found in high-voltage insulation systems of equipment used in new decentralised grids and electrical power supply systems.
