Problem Type
Axisymmetric problem of AC conduction.
Voltage U = 64 kV (r.m.s.), frequency f = 50 Hz.
Relative permittivity of media: oil 12, insulator 2.3, stress cone 22, deflector 2.5.
Deflector electrical conductivity 0.0002 S/m.
Calculate electric field stress distribution.
Semiconductors are modeled as materials featuring both electric permittivity and conductivity, though small.
In QuickField we should specify the magnitude of the time-harmonic voltage that is room mean square value times square root of two: 64000*sqrt(2).
