Introduction Electrostatic fields play a crucial role in high voltage engineering, influencing the design and performance of power systems. Understanding these fields helps in the effective insulation and protection of electrical components. This article delves into the fundamental concepts of electrostatic fields, their behavior, and applications in high voltage systems.

HVDC links may be broadly classified into the following categories: Monopolar Links Bipolar Links Homopolar Links The basic configuration of a monopolar link is shown in figure. It uses one conductor, usually of negative polarity. The return path is provided by ground or water. Cost considerations often lead to the
For voltages higher than about 300 to 500 kV, the cascading of transformers is a big advantage, as the weight of a whole testing set can be subdivided into single units and therefore transport and erection becomes easier. Also, with this, the transformer cost for a given voltage may be
For voltages higher than 400 KV, it is desired to cascade two or more transformers depending upon the voltage requirements. With this, the weight of the whole unit is subdivided into single units and, therefore, transport and erection becomes easier. Also, with this, the transformer cost for a given voltage
