Objectives

The purpose of this course is to give insight in the principles and the
materials used in the transportation of electrical energy in high tension
networks (>=36kV). The students have to study the organisation of a high
tension network and how we treat failures (short circuits, overtensions) in
a high tension network. The choice of materials and principles of protection
against those failures.
It is necessary to follow this course together with the course "Middle
Tension Technology".


Topics

The elements of a network: air lines, cables, insulators, behaviour in AC
and DC
Failures in high tension networks: short-circuits, overtensions
Protection and interruption of the current in high tension networks
The structure of a high tension station and a high tension network


Prerequisites

The knowledge of the basic course "Electricity" from the first year is
necessary.

Assessment
Oral examinations.

However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
