Gallery Spotlight -- 2D/3D Electrostatic


Gas Insulated Switch
To demonstrate the flexibility of Infolytica's suite of Electromagnetic and Thermal Analysis packages, we have taken a Gas Insulated Switch and simulated it under a variety of different loads and configurations.

Magnetron - Particle Trajectory
The trajectory of an electron in a magnetron can be determined from the magnetic and electric fields present in the space between the cathode and the anode. In the analysis performed for this ElecNet example, the electric and magnetic field strengths are adjusted so that the electron does not reach the anode and forms a cyclic trajectory.

Surge Arrester: Minimizing Electric Field Stress in Resistors
In this Gallery page, we show how the tandem of OptiNet and ElecNet was used to find the dimensions and the placing of the grading rings in a surge arrester, with the aim of lowering the max p.u. electric stress in the resistors.

Lightning Arrester Simulation
The surge arrester example presented on these pages is based on a document from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) -- "Guide for the determination of voltage distribution along the length of metal-oxide surge arresters". The ElecNet simulation results were compared to some results provided in this document.
