Surface Discharge Characteristics on HDPE, LDPE and PP

Article Preview

Abstract:

The degradation of polymer insulation is affected by many factors. One of the main factors is surface discharge. In this work, the characteristics of surface discharge on different types of polymer insulation material under different types of electrode shapes were studied. The insulation materials used were high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP). Different types of electrode shape used were sharp, flat and sphere electrodes. From the experiments that have been performed, surface discharge characteristics were found to be influenced by the type of insulation material and the electrode shape. Hence, a better understanding on the characteristics of surface discharges may be attained.
