The High Voltage Laboratory The High Voltage Laboratory is a graduate research and undergraduate teaching laboratory. It specialises in the measurement and testing of equipment and components of Electric Power Engineering. Research is geared towards understanding electric field and high voltage phenomena, developing innovative equipment for the electrical industry, and new technologies which use high voltage concepts in their design. Teaching laboratories include studying the breakdown of air under varying atmospheric conditions, especially moisture, varying supply voltage and frequency and under multiple insulation arrangements. They are The High Voltage Laboratory measurement and testing for electric power engineering ENGINEERING UC Electrical and Computer Engineering The way of the Future particularly geared towards the use of live-line techniques for transmission and distribution system maintenance. Transformer insulation condition measurement is also a set laboratory exercise. Lectures in High Voltage are embedded into specific courses associated with Electric Power Engineering. bit.ly/uchvlab
