In this way, it is possible to obtain power losses on structural elements. Eddy current analysis achieve optimization of the design with the appropriate material selection and sizing by determining the hot spots formed by the power losses, which is the most important parameter affecting the isolation life.

Electric Field Analysis

Electric field analysis can analyze the electric field and equipotential distributions of the systems operating under different high voltage as below:

Depending on the analysis results obtained, the optimum design of the isolation system can be realized. Solutions can be produced for the problems encountered or likely to be encountered in the field of these systems. It is possible to confirm jumping and approach distances with the analysis and to optimize the costs by changing the material type.

Magnetic Field Analysis

Important electrical parameters such as below can be calculated for cable and busbar systems by magnetic field analysis :

By considering the short circuit forces that may occur due to the analysis results obtained, the system can be sized appropriately and the validity of the solution suggestions can be tested by determining the points where the losses that may cause overheating are intense.

Power Cable Analysis

The following parameters can be calculated by analyzing the electrical parameters of the power cables used in all areas of energy distribution.

Losses, induced voltages and currents depending on the bonding condition of the cable shield and armor
Circulation currents between cables in parallel cable systems
Magnetic field density around cable systems
Electric field distribution in cables
Electric field distribution of cable terminations

While making these calculations, they can be made according to the layout of the cables, their phase sequences, how the screen are bonded and the degree of loading with harmonic currents. These analyzes not only provide benefits to cable manufacturers at the design stage, but also provide advantages in the design of systems in which energy will be transported with a large number of parallel cables.

Busbar System Analysis

The following parameters can be calculated by analyzing the electrical parameters of the busbar systems, which are frequently used in energy distribution.

While making these calculations, it can be made according to the phase order of the conductors used in the busbars and the degree of loading with harmonic currents. Thanks to the obtained analysis results, parameters such as the optimum phase sequence and the number of conductors to be used can be determined according to the area of use. While these analyzes provide benefits to busbar producers at the design stage, they also provide advantages in the design of systems where energy will be transported by busbar.

Insulator and Bushing Analysis

The following parameters can be calculated with the analysis of elements such as insulators and bushings used in energy transmission and distribution.
