International standards prescribe overvoltage tests to evaluate the insulating material performance of high-voltage cables. However, it is difficult to manage the electric fields at the cable ends when laboratory measurements are carried out because surface and external discharges occur at the cable termination. Therefore, this paper presents a procedure for designing cable terminations to reduce the electric field at the cable ends to appropriate levels even in the case of overvoltage tests. For this purpose, computer simulations of electric field distribution using the finite element method (FEM) were performed. A 35 kV cable model was employed as a sample. An voltage with RMS (root mean square) value of 300 kV was used as an overestimate of breakdown voltage for the internal insulating material. The cable termination model obtained through the proposed methodology allows an electric field reduction in air, preventing the occurrence of external discharges, and thus permitting the breakdown voltage measurement of the cable’s inner insulation.

±1000kV DC wall bushing under planning is a complex insulation system which bears the effects imposed by different working conditions. The electric field distribution is concentrated at the bushing outlet terminal, which might result in breakdown discharge especially when short-time abrupt conditions such as polarity reversal occur. In this paper, the finite element method is utilized to analyze electric field distribution and potential distribution of wall bushing during polarity reversal. Electric field distribution and potential distribution at the moment of polarity reversal are obtained, which provides value reference for the study of polarity reversal process.

The voltage and electric field distribution in an arrester are very important for its long operation 15 kV with and without pollution. In order to clarify the influence of pollution severity conditions on metal oxide surge arrester, the finite element method (FEM) compilation of the voltage distribution in the ZnO column varistors under different pollution layer conductivity (200 μS, 70μS, 20μS) and clean was employed using the FEMLAB package.

The finite element method has been applied to calculate the 50Hz electric fields nearby the transmission lines. The electric field strengths nearby multi-circuit transmission lines on the same tower under different arrangement of phase sequence, nearby the cross-arm are calculated. According to the foreign and domestic security standards of 50Hz electric field, the impacts of overhead transmission lines on environment are evaluated and the adoptable measures to reduce electric field strength are proposed. Meanwhile the distributing pattern of the electric field nearby the cross-arm is analyzed and proposals for further protection measures during maintenance operation are provided.

Numerical calculation model with compound insulation of transient electric field is given. The insulation is more prominent due to complication for voltage applied on valve side winding of the converter transformer. So the simplied structure for electric calculation on the valve side winding of the converter transformer is established. The electric field distribution characteristics on the valve side winding of the converter transformer is analyzed and electric fields in different resistivity and permittivity are calculated under AC high voltage, DC high voltage, AC superimposed DC voltage, polarity reversal voltage. The maximum electric field intensity is calculated and analyzed under kinds of high voltage. Some important influence factors for electric field distribution are also discussed in this paper.

High voltage SiC semiconductor devices have been successfully fabricated and some of them are commercially available [1]. To achieve experimental breakdown voltage values as close as possible to the theoretical value, i.e. value of the theoretical semi-infinite diode, it is necessary to protect the periphery of the devices against premature breakdown due to locally high electric fields. Mesa structures and junction termination extension (JTE) as well as guard rings, and combinations of these techniques, have been successfully employed. Each of them has particular drawbacks. Especially, JTE are difficult to optimize in terms of impurity dose to implant, as well as in terms of geometric dimensions. This paper is a study of the spreading of the electric field at the edge of bipolar diodes protected by JTE and field rings, by optical beam induced current.

Based on the basic theory of electromagnetic field, the Electric Field Distortion (EFD) in power frequency electric field caused by induced current of human body has been analyzed. The enhancement factor of the electric field distortion is introduced to reduce the influences caused by human body in the measurement of high voltage electric fields. The Ansoft Maxwell is used to simulate and calculate the electric field distribution under the influence of the human body to have the value of enhancement factor. In addition, the enhancement factor has been corrected by experiment with the electromagnetic field analyzer EFA300. With the enhancement factor introduced in this paper, the measurement error can be reduced.

The high voltage spark testing method of protective dielectric coatings is applied in almost all manufacture areas and is governed by ISO, ASTM etc. However, all of it doesn’t pay proper attention to high voltage forming (DC or AC) and its polarity relative to electrode, influence of environment and electric field inhomogeneity. In that paper a detailed analysis of air gap breakdown forming processes was given. A dependence of electric field strength on an interelectrode gap length was given for homogeneous and highly inhomogeneous electric fields. It was shown a breakdown voltage of air gaps in highly inhomogeneous field is greatly less than in homogeneous field. Also, it is described the breakdown voltage of air gaps with positive polarity is less then with negative polarity. The possibility coatings testing with a minimum thickness up to 50 m while reducing the testing voltage without reducing the reliability of the results is shown.
