Non - contact surface charge / voltage measurements

Methods of measurements of surface electric charges and potentials using electrostatic fieldmeters and voltmeters are discussed. The differences and similarities between those methods are presented. The AC-feedback voltmeter is also described as an unique method that combines advantages of both fieldmeters and voltmeters.

Prediction of Flashover Voltage of Insulators Using Low Voltage Surface Resistance Measurement

Omnidirectional surface wave cloak using an isotropic homogeneous dielectric coating

The field of transformation optics owes a lot of its fame to the concept of cloaking. While some experimental progress has been made towards free-space cloaking in three dimensions, the material properties required are inherently extremely difficult to achieve. The approximations that then have to be made to allow fabrication produce unsatisfactory device performance. In contrast, when surface ...

A Study of Electric Breakdown Theory to Model Dielectric Surface Flashover

Electric flashover on power system apparatus and safety equipment can result in destruction to equipment and injury to workers, as well as pose a danger to anyone in the vicinity of this occurring. This phenomenon still continues to be an issue today despite over 100 years of research into the problem. It was determined that an exhaustive literature review should be performed to investigate mat...
