Explores advanced modelling techniques used for high-voltage insulation analysis.

This lesson examines advanced electrostatic simulations used to evaluate insulation systems in high-voltage transformers. Participants learn how complex conductor arrangements and shielding structures influence electric field distribution. The lecture demonstrates how floating potentials, mesh refinement, and field stress analysis are applied in three-dimensional models. Participants also learn how electrostatic simulations help prevent dielectric breakdown and insulation failure. The session emphasizes the importance of accurate field modelling for reliable transformer insulation design.

Learning Outputs

  • Analyse electric field stress in complex transformer geometries
  • Model floating conductors and shielding structures
  • Evaluate insulation safety margins using simulation results
  • Apply electrostatic modelling to improve insulation reliability
