High-voltage testing of superconducting power apparatus

摘要

Superconducting power apparatus for commercial and utility applications must pass the same high-voltage tests required by national standards for conventional equipment. Various considerations which enter into development of high-voltage test procedures are summarized, and brief descriptions of the equipment and procedures used for common high-voltage tests are given. Actual high-voltage tests performed during several superconducting equipment development projects are summarized to illustrate the principles. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. [References: 18]
