The High Voltage Lab allows faculty and students to conduct research in the area of dielectric materials at different physical states. 

Students design, conduct and test different types of high-voltage generators and circuits in order to enhance the understanding of dielectric phenomena, the electronic conduction and swarm, partial discharges and breakdown are studied in high-vacuum (10-8 torr), gaseous, liquid, solid, and nano-dielectrics. 

Students receive hands-on experience by observing partial discharges and breakdowns in gaseous, liquid, and solid insulating materials. 

The laboratory is equipped with components capable of performing standard and non-standard insulation tests for high-voltage equipment used in industry, such as switchgear, transformers, insulators, and cables up to a test voltage of 250 kV with alternating voltages, direct voltages, or impulse voltages of various wave-shapes.
