EE6701-High voltage engineering
Answer Key
PART – A

PART-A
1.Mention the different kinds of over voltages?

2.Define Isokeraunic level?

Isokeraunic level is defined as the number of days in a year when thunder is heard or recorded in
particular location.
3.Write the Paschens Law?
Paschens law explains the relationship between the Break Down voltage and the product of pressure
(p) and gap (d), in the case of Breakdown in gas. It states that, V = f (p.d)
The Breakdown voltage is a function of p.d.Derivation

4.What are pure liquid dielectrics?

The liquid dielectrics are:
The liquid dielectrics mostly used are petroleum oils. Other oils used are synthetic hydrocarbons and
halogenated hydrocarbons and for very high temperature applications silicone oils and fluorinated
hydrocarbons are also used.
Properties of liquid dielectric are:
i)The dielectric strength (ii)The dielectric constant (iii)The electrical conductivity. Other important
properties are viscosity, thermal stability, specific gravity, flash point etc.
5.Write Gas law.
Gas law is defined as Pressure of the gas changes with temperature.
Pv=NRT Where, N-density of gas molecule
v-volume of the gas
T-temperature
R-constant
