Q2. In a concentric spherical electrode system at the optimum geometry with regard to breakdown the outer radius is r2 = 50 cm. The insulator breakdown strength is Eb = 30 kV/cm. a) For the optimum geometry with regard to breakdown calculate the inner radii (r) b) Calculate the breakdown voltage (Vb) c) If the applied voltage is U = 300 kV, find the values of inner radii (ri) where no breakdown occurs. Also sketch the Emax with respect to ri and show all of the discharge events (partial discharge, no breakdown, complete breakdown).

Q2. In a concentric spherical electrode system at the optimum geometry with regard to
breakdown the outer radius is r2 = 50 cm. The insulator breakdown strength is Eb = 30 kV/cm.
a) For the optimum geometry with regard to breakdown calculate the inner radii (r)
b) Calculate the breakdown voltage (Vb)
c) If the applied voltage is U = 300 kV, find the values of inner radii (rı) where no
breakdown occurs. Also sketch the Emax with respect to ri and show all of the
discharge events (partial discharge, no breakdown, complete breakdown).
