About the Course Lecturers
Stan Grzybowski received
the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1956 and 1964,
respectively, from the Technical University of Warsaw, Poland. In 1984, he obtained the Dr. Hab. (Dr.
habilitated) degree from the Technical University of Wroclaw, Poland.
In 1956, he joined the faculty
of Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Poznan, Poland. From 1958 to 1981, he was Head of the High
Voltage and Electrical Materials Division and served as Vice-Dean of Electrical
Engineering Faculty in 1969 and from 1975 through 1977. He has been a Visiting Professor at the University
of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, the University of South Carolina, and Visiting
Scientific Advisor to Instituto de Investigaciones Electricas, Mexico.
In 1987, Dr. S. Grzybowski joined Mississippi State University, where now he is a Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. He is author/co-author of three books in high voltage engineering, three problems books on HV Engineering for students and four IEEE Standards. He presented his research results in 52 papers published in refereed journals (22 papers in IEEE Transactions) and over 130 research papers published in Proceedings of International and National Conferences.
Dr. S. Grzybowski is a Fellow
of the IEEE, IEEE Power Engineering Society, IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical
Insulation Society. He is a member of
CIGRE, Tau Beta Pi, and Eta Kappa Nu.
Richard Connell received a
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Clarkson College of
Technology in 1975.
He has been employed at Hipotronics, Inc. since 1975 and has
held a variety of design and management positions. His experience includes the
design and installation of High Voltage Test Systems, particularly power
frequency resonant systems, and also partial discharge testing and analysis. He presently serves as the Director of

About the Institution
Mississippi
State University (MSU) forms part of a cohesive town-university
community with the growing agricultural-commercial-industrial town of
Starkville, located in the eastern part of north-central Mississippi. After more
than 125 years, MSU has come to be a comprehensive, doctoral-degree-granting
university. As a Land-Grant institution, Mississippi State University is
dedicated to three broad purposes: learning, research, and service. Fulfilling
these purposes is the chief work of the large number of educational units that
make up the total university, including, among others, the academic
departments, schools, and colleges; the Division of Continuing Education; the
Mississippi Cooperative Extension Service, and the Mississippi Agricultural and
Forestry Experiment Station.
The
Division of Continuing Education is an academic/service arm of the
university that extends educational opportunities, through a variety of
learning options, to individuals, groups and agencies in non-traditional
program formats. It provides leadership coordination and assistance in
implementing lifelong learning opportunities sponsored by Mississippi State
University. The undergirding purpose of the Division of Continuing Education is
to provide programs tailored to the needs of lifelong learners consistent with
the overall objectives, resources and unique capabilities of the university.
These programs are enhanced by a rich array of support services.
The
High Voltage Laboratory is one of the MSU research units and serves
as an independent, non-industrial, university center for high voltage
engineering. The mission of the High Voltage Laboratory includes the
following: research,
evaluation/testing, and education activities.
The principal objective of this multi-purpose, high voltage facility is to provide a broader effort designed to meet the research and evaluation/testing needs of industry and the necessary environment for a basic academic program associated with high voltage engineering. The High Voltage Laboratory, constructed as part of the Simrall Electrical Engineering Building, was occupied in 1977. The main laboratory has a floor area of 33.5 x 24.5 m and a minimum ceiling height of 15.2 m. This is the largest high voltage laboratory among North American universities.
The impulse equipment consists of a 3000 kV, 56 kJ impulse generator, conventional voltage dividers, impulse oscilloscopes and a digital oscilloscope/waveform analyzer. The 60 Hz equipment consists of a 1000 kV, 1000 kVA conventional test transformer and a power follow transformer with maximum short circuit capability of 10 MVA. The direct voltage supply consists of a 1050 kV, 7 kW DC test set. Other auxiliary equipment include: partial discharge measurement system, fog chamber, modern night scope, wet test facilities and a computer system for data analysis and storage.
