The capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) is a special measuring and protecting device, which is commonly applied in high-voltage power systems. Its measurement accuracy is affected seriously by the stray capacitances of the capacitance voltage divider (CVD) to ground and other charged parts. In this study, based on the boundary element method, a mathematical model was established firstly to calculate the stray capacitance. Then, the voltage distribution of the CVD was obtained by the CVD’s equivalent circuit model. Next, the effect of stray capacitance on the voltage distribution and the voltage difference ratio (VDR) of CVD was analysed in detail. We finally designed three types of shield and optimized their structure parameters to reduce VDR. The results indicated that the average deviation rate between calculated and experimental measured voltages is only 0.015%; that is to say, the method has high calculation precision. The stray capacitance of the CVD to ground is far larger than that of the CVD to the high-voltage terminal. It results in the inhomogeneous distribution of voltage and the increase of VDR. For the test CVT, its VDR exceeds the requirement of class 0.2. Among all of the three types of shield, the C type reduced the VDR of the test CVT the most. After optimizing the structure parameters of C-type shield, the VDR is further reduced to 0.08%. It is not only in accord with the requirement of class 0.2 but also has an adequate margin.

Abstract Road traffic noise needs to be reduced, because traffic volume is increasing every year. The noise generated from a tire is becoming one of the dominant sources in the total traffic noise because the engine noise is constantly being reduced by the vehicle manufacturers. Although the acoustic intensity measurement technology has been enhanced by the recent developments in digital measurement techniques, repetitive measurements are necessary to find effective ways for noise control. Hence, a simulation method to predict generated noise is required to replace the time-consuming experiments. The boundary element method (BEM) is applied to predict the acoustic radiation caused by the vibration of a tire sidewall and a tire noise prediction system is developed. The BEM requires the geometry and the modal characteristics of a tire which are provided by an experiment or the finite element method (FEM). Since the finite element procedure is applied to the prediction of modal characteristics in a tire noise prediction system, the acoustic pressure can be predicted without any measurements. Furthermore, the acoustic contribution analysis obtained from the post-processing of the predicted results is very helpful to know where and how the design change affects the acoustic radiation. The predictability of this system is verified by measurements and the acoustic contribution analysis is applied to tire noise control.
