May 23, 2016 Nowadays several modern devices, such as smartphones and tablets utilize projected capacitive touchscreens, consisting of a touchscreen sensor and a controller. Touchscreen sensors generally consist of two coplanar electrode grids surrounded by dielectrics, while their operation is based on the variation of the mutual capacitance between the electrodes as a finger orRead more
Use Case 2 – Electrostatic Simulation of a Medium Voltage Cable; Effects of a Void Defect
April 30, 2016 Electric power cables are utilized for power transmission in cases where the installation of overhead lines is either impractical or undesirable, for example in urban areas. In addition to underground cables, submarine power cables may be used for interconnections between coastal regions. Cables are significantly more expensive than overhead lines, due toRead more
Use Case 1 – Electrostatic Simulation of a Transmission Line Disc Insulator
February 8, 2016 Chains of disc insulators are utilized in power systems as a dielectric medium between overhead lines and transmission towers. Electric field and potential distributions are crucial for their design, as they must withstand the potential difference between line conductors and grounded towers and also be free of electric discharges. Their performance isRead more
