Touring the largest high voltage lab in North America | Narcisa Pricope, PhD posted on the topic | LinkedIn⚡️Not your average Friday at Mississippi State University and not your average university lab, either!💡Did you know that we are home to the largest university-operated high voltage lab in North America? ⚡️ Today, I visited the Paul B. Jacob High Voltage Laboratory, and I was blown away (pun intended) by the scale, power, and (current and potential) impact of this facility. Here, Director David Wallace and his team simulate lightning strikes, test infrastructure for national defense, and prepare students for high-powered (the puns don't seem to stop!) careers in engineering. Check out this quick video from my visit and imagine what’s possible when universities lead the 💡charge (literally) in energy innovation. Stay tuned for a video that promises to electrocute Bob for my more engaging tour in June. In the meantime, you can get an idea of what happens to Bob here: https://lnkd.in/g6qs9ibN And watch a much better produced video of the High Voltage Lab here: https://lnkd.in/gYjN6mDk #HighVoltage #MSUEngineering #EnergyResilience #STEMEducation #InfrastructureInnovation #MississippiState

MSU Team Develops 3 kV LISN for High-Voltage EMI Characterization | Seungdeog Choi posted on the topic | LinkedInOur team at the Paul J. High Voltage Lab, Mississippi State University, has developed a 3 kV, 30 MHz Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN) to enable high-voltage conducted EMI characterization, an area that remains largely unexplored. The system is designed in compliance with CISPR standards, enabling standardized EMI measurement at the kilovolt level. This video presents our first experimental demonstration of conducted EMI measurement under these conditions. If you are interested in this work or would like to discuss potential collaboration, please feel free to reach out. We also welcome you to engage with us through the IEEE APEC2026 Student Design Competition (San Antonio, TX) by Tahmid Ibne Mannan, Md. Abdul Kium Hridoy, MD Rashedur Rahman, and Md Moniruzzaman. #PowerElectronics #EMI #WideBandgap #MediumVoltage #IEEE #MississippiStateUniversity #APEC2026
