High Voltage and Insulation Engineering -- A Model Curriculum

High voltage and insulation engineering can be described in terms of voltage types, topics, tools, activities, and applications. These features are helpful to formulate a suitable educational program. The paper recommends a model curriculum that consists of three courses (High Voltage Engineering, Insulation Engineering, and Overvoltages and Insulation Coordination). Contents of the three courses are reviewed in detail. Possible textbooks, homework assignments and laboratory experiments are given for each course. Several special topics are suggested for a fourth course if there is interest in it. A list of suggested laboratory facilities is also presented. Benefits of the proposed curriculum to industry are identified. Features of four high voltage and insulation engineering courses taught at OSU complete the paper.
