Current flow simulation in a device for the DC grid
Initial situation My customer is developing a device for future DC grids that goes beyond the classic point-to-point topology. In the event of a fault, this device is designed to reduce the fault current to such an extent that a mechanical switch can electrically isolate the faulty part of the grid. Since the key components…

Optimization of spark gap electrodes
Initial situation My customer produces shock waves in a medical device through a spark gap. However, the key parameters of the medical diagnostics varied outside the tolerable limits during operation. It should be determined whether the cause lies in the ignition characteristics of the spark plug and, if so, which measures lead to improvement. In…

Dodge the stone
Get a “passenger” and avoid damage The other day I read in the newspaper about a tragic accident. A motorist had crashed into a stone in the center of a newly constructed traffic circle. He had not seen the stone. He drove the work route twice a day and thought he knew it blind. Such…

Your triple point is a triangle
Triangular relationships are complicated. That’s where the sparks fly. Many films deal with this topic and we as viewers are amused. In real life, it’s usually less fun. The triangular relationship, also called the triple point or line, also exists in high-voltage engineering. As with people, this is the place where it is most likely…
