Abstract
Calculations have been made to increase the HV performance of some com ponents and to explain electrical failures of electrostatic accelerato rs. These involve simulations of static stresses and transient overvol tages, especially on insulating boards and electrodes occurring before or during breakdown. Changes made in the structure of the machines ov er the last years and new ideas to improve the static and dynamic beha vior are presented. The application of this study and HV tests recentl y led to a nominal potential near 20 MV without sparking.
