High Voltage Technique

For the most puncture-related arrangement of a concentric spherical electrode system with a voltage of 100 kV to be applied between the electrodes and with Ed=80 kV/cm (insulator puncture strength), Emax = 0.6. Ed

  1. a) Inner and outer sphere radii,
  2. b) Maximum and minimum field strengths,
  3. c) Equivalent electrode opening and utilization factor,
  4. d) Its capacity (Ɛ0=8,854x10-12 F/m, Ɛr=1) and insulator volume,
  5. e) By keeping the outer sphere radius constant, calculate the inner sphere radius value range that can be used in the system without discharge.

ANSWERS:
