Course Title: High Voltage Engineering Laboratory
Type of Course: Optional, Sessional
Offered to: EEE
Pre-requisite Course(s): None
This course consists of two parts. In the first part, students will perform experiments to verify practically the theories and concepts learned in EEE 483. In the second part, students will design simple systems using the principles learned in EEE 483.
To provide hands-on training on determining dielectric strength of solid, liquid and gaseous insulating materials
To provide hands-on training on using earth tester to determine earth resistance
To introduce Megger and electrostatic voltmeter
To design and present simple high voltage system
Fundamental understanding of concepts of the high voltage engineering
