Abstract
This article proposes ultra-high frequency (UHF) detection of the eroding dry-band arcing as a non-intrusive and online detection technique of erosion failure during the dc inclined plane test (IPT). Tests are performed on silicone rubber (SR) composites, while conducting leakage current (LC), surface temperature, and UHF measurements using a horn antenna. No UHF detection is evident during mild dry-band arcing (DBA), which does not lead to erosion. Whereas, the detection is evident during stable DBA, particularly when the intensity becomes remarkable. Thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, and Fourier Transform spectroscopy are conducted to elucidate temperature measurements and visual observations. The eroding DBA is shown to lead to depolymerization of SR at $400~^{\circ }$ C, thereby leading to combustion and erosion failure, and stimulating a radical-based crosslinking reaction at temperatures exceeding $500~^{\circ }$ C. The intensity of the UHF detection is also shown to be sensitive to the severity of the eroding DBA as it increases with time during the test or with higher applied test voltages.
