electrical discharges high-powered transformers

In this seminar I will introduce the basics of the electrical discharges (plasma) in non-polar liquids and liquid/solid interfaces and their importance in specific applications such as high-powered transformers, capacitors, cables etc. The precursor mechanism of breakdown in these liquid and liquid/solid insulating systems are usually call streamers and their characteristics vary significantly with the nature of the liquid, voltage, pressure, electrode configuration, etc.
