High voltage XLPE power cable is a very important part of power system. The degree of electric-tree aging in the cable can be estimated effectually by measuring partial discharge. An on-line partial discharge monitor system of XLPE power cable was developed based on the virtual instrument designing conception. This system has the advantage of wide analog bandwidth, excellent anti-interference a...

A high sensitivity momentum flux measuring instrument based on a compound pendulum has been developed for use with electric propulsion devices and radio frequency driven plasmas. A laser displacement system, which builds upon techniques used by the materials science community for surface stress measurements, is used to measure with high sensitivity the displacement of a target plate placed in a...
