Explain the need for generating high voltage in laboratory |
|
Answer» ltages in labs are mainly required in the fields of electrical engineering and applied physics. These high voltages (ac, dc, impulse) are used for many applications. Few applications:- electron microscopes and x ray units require high DC voltages of the order of 100 kv or more. electrostatic precipitator, particle ACCELERATORS in nuclear physics require DC voltages of the order of kilo-volts or EVEN mega-volts. for testing power apparatus rated for EXTRA high transmission voltages 400KV and above, high voltages of one million volts or even more are required. high impulse voltages are used to simulate the over-voltages that occur in power system due to lightening or switching action. In the FIELD of electrical engineering the main requirement of high voltages is for insulation testing of various components in power system. This is why there is a need to generate high voltages in laboratories. |
