Finite element based simulation of electric field in high voltage power apparatus
High voltage equipment failures have been the core of numerous studies over the years. Currently, countless statistics are present that deals with failure causes of high voltage equipment. Unfortunately, these statistics do not provide adequate information on the real failure mechanism. This project...
