2 PhD Positions-Experimentally studying the mechanisms of surface flashover

In high voltage technology, vital parts are usually covered with insulating material. However, detrimental breakdown still can occur in the gas region outside the solid insulation. In many cases, a discharge creeps along an insulator surface where it can propagate over longer distances than in the bulk of the gas. The underlying physics is poorly understood, and control and prevention is usually based on empirical design rules or on oversimplified engineering models, or even on trial and error....
