New Power Engineering Tutorial from IEEE

Four experts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, New York are the presenters for the new tutorial from
IEEE, Principles of High-Voltage Engineering. This tutorial is ideal for
design engineers, users, purchasing officers, operations managers,
technicians, and electrical engineering or physics students concerned with
high voltage equipment.

In recognition of the global, workplace, and personal preferences of our
members' approach to learning, IEEE Educational Activities is offering this
tutorial in a variety of modes. Principles of High-Voltage Engineering is
now available as a four videotape package, interactive CD-ROM, or by
video-streaming from the IEEE Video-On-Demand website.

The tutorial combines lecture, PowerPoint references, and onsite Electric
Power Engineering Department laboratory demonstrations to illustrate the
high-voltage principles. It is divided into four subject categories:
Basic Principles of Electric and Magnetic Fields, presented by Sheppard
Salon; Basic Principles of Switching, presented by Allan Greenwood;
Transient Voltages in Windings, presented by Robert Degneff; and Insulation
Materials and Dielectric Design, presented by J. Keith Nelson.

Integrated into the Insulation Materials and Dielectric Design portion of
the tutorial are field visits to EPRI Delivery and Utilization Center at
Lenox, Massachusetts. At that site, Mr. Nelson highlights functioning
instruments that protect high-voltage equipment.

By the end of the tutorial, the user will:

· Obtain a fundamental understanding of the basic principles of electric
field production in high-voltage equipment.
· See how switching operations and lightning can result in subjecting
the equipment to high voltages.
· Obtain an understanding of the voltage distribution in windings of
transformers and machines.
· Learn practical techniques to control high voltage and protect
equipment.
