- I am trying to replicate the results found in papers for uniform field gap electrode designs but I'm not sure what some of the terms mean or if I am getting the correct results.
Hi,
I am interested in designing an electrode that reduces the peak e-field intensity at the edges of the electrode. I've read some papers and it looks like there are quite a few. I'm not really familiar with the terms, so I decided to start off with what looks like is one of the simpler ones.
I am following a paper called "Electrode Design for Testing in Uniform Field Gaps" found at https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4113920.
N. G. Trinh, "Electrode Design for Testing in Uniform Field Gaps," in IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems, vol. PAS-99, no. 3, pp. 1235-1242, May 1980, doi: 10.1109/TPAS.1980.319754.
If you cannot access it, just let me know.
I have put all of the equation into MATLAB but I'm not sure how to get the section of the electrode defined by the -x direction in the paper. It looks like what I'm getting is the circular section, shown in Fig. 1b, and the rogowski equipotential like for x<0. I'm also trying to figure out Ro because I don't see it defined in the paper anywhere. I also need to know the height to place the plan electrode section. I thought it would be A/2, but it looks way out of place when I draw a horizontal line at that height.
I am trying to get this so so I can also try the Bruce electrode profile shown in Fig 1c.
From here, my plan is to do an if loop to place the points of a the plane section, rogowski equipotential line, and circular section in a file which I could import into my CAD program to actually build this profile and simulate the e-field intensity with it. Any help and suggestions is much appreciated. This is my first attempt at anything like this so I hope I'm approaching it right in the first place.
I've included a screenshot of my MATLAB code in case it is off all together. I've also uploaded screenshots what I see when plotting the equipotential line, circle, and plane section.
