Ask control systems engineers what the term “high voltage” means to them, and you’re liable to get an answer such as “anything over 50V”. Ask a utility lineman the same question, and you may hear ...

Main steps in designing high-voltage systems. Attaining high reliability and high efficiency for high voltage. What are Pockels cells? A look at Marx pulse generators and a proposed boost version of ...

What is partial discharge? Methods for measuring PD. How PD impacts high-voltage cables. Partial discharge (PD) is evidence of a degrading insulation system, which could trigger costly repairs and ...

High-voltage power transmission systems are more important today than ever before because power generated at renewable energy sites in remote locations must often be transmitted to distant load ...

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology offers several advantages compared to alternating current transmission systems. For example, it allows more efficient bulk power transfer over long ...

Why is understanding high-voltage oil-filled transformer bushings so critical? High-voltage power transformers are an essential component of our nation's electric grid infrastructure. Bushings are the ...

This could be a very short article. I could just write “no, power lines don’t cause cancer"—but that wouldn't explain why so many people believe otherwise. And it won’t help people who are thinking ...
