HVPTF

High Voltage Padova Test Facility

Voltage Holding is one of the most critical issue for the experiment MITICA aimed at realizing the 40A – 1MV prototype of the ITER HNB. For this reason, boosting the R&D on this specific issue has been identified as a priority to attain the success of the MITICA experiment, by means of the realization of the High Voltage Padova Test Facility (HVPTF), a dedicated device to perform high voltage tests in vacuum, located in the laboratories of the Department of Industrial Engineering.
