ABSTRACT
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH VOLTAGE AC TESTING UNIT
ARISOY,Aydemir M.S.,Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Supervisor :Prof. Dr. Mirzahan HIZAL September 2000,
pages
In this thesis,a complete High Voltage Alternating Current Testing Unit (HVAC TU) is designed and constructed to perform high voltage AC tests on electrical apparatus and material in accordance with IEC 60,and IEC 270 test standarts. Transient voltage distribution in the test transformer windings subjected to standart impulse waveform is investigated. Also an electrical field analysis of the transformer is realized by ANSYS 5.5.1 software program using FEM (Finite Element Method). Key Words:Test Transformer, insulation,impulse voltage,electrical field.
