About
About the course
Course content
The following main topics are covered:
-Electrical conduction in glass, oil and other amorphous dielectrics due to movement of ions and particles.
-Electronic conduction in partly crystalline solid materials, focusing on influense of applied electric field and temperature. Schottky, Poole-Frenkel and Spacecharge limited currents are particularly discussed.
-Physical description of Permittivity and dielectric loss with respect to Clausius Mosottis equations, the Debye relaxation, Garton effects,ion and interface polarisation as basis for frequency and time domain description of dielectric responce.
-Electric breakdown of solid and liquid dielectrics, including statistical methods for evaluation of breakdown data.
-The course will focus on description of mechanisms regarding the commonly used insulating materials: Polymers, oil/paper and glass.
Learning outcome
