Research Associate in High Voltage Engineering
We are currently seeking a post-doctoral research associate to work on a 12-month project related to insulation systems for high voltage dry type transformers. This project is funded through University of Manchester Impact Accelerator Award (IAA) in collaboration with IST Power. The research will be performed at the new UoM Engineering campus Development on Oxford Road in Manchester; however, some travel to the IST Power office in Leicester will also be expected.
Job Description
Transformers used in DC systems often have to withstand combined AC and DC stresses. It is known that the electric field distribution and degradation process under DC stresses are different to that under AC stresses. Furthermore, the bond between conductors and insulation can become a weak point in the dry type transformers and could lead to discharges that would eventually cause the transformer failure. Through experimental and modelling approach this project will study the electrical endurance limitation of the insulation material and the impact of interface phenomena between solid insulation and windings on the insulation degradation and lifetime.
