The definition of threshold is changed; the behavior of materials is classified as threshold or no-threshold according to the value of applied stresses. The electrical gradient-temperature graph is examined, and the relationships between electrical and thermal thresholds are shown. The various life models for electrical and thermal stress used by researchers are examined and discussed. The combined-stress life model for threshold materials is improved by adding to the denominator a cross term which gives rise to a threshold line which is curved instead of straight. The application of the model is outlined, and the results are compared with experimental data obtained for several insulating materials. >","PeriodicalId":13105,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electrical Insulation","volume":"62 1","pages":"349-364"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84478341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experimental gas pressure ranged from 100 to 500 kPa. The results presented show that the magnitude and the polarity of the direct voltage, as well as the gas pressure, influence the corona discharge and the breakdown characteristics. It was found that the breakdown voltages under the VFT are higher than the corresponding values obtained under SLI voltages.

Using a high-speed Imacon photographic camera, it was established that a metallic particle near the insulator surface plays an important role in flashover development. The influence of the particle on flashover development depends on the pressure of the SF/sub 6/ gas. At atmospheric pressure, the flashover was always initiated at a point on the particle farthest from the nearest electrode. At high pressures, it was found that breakdown develops from the electrode of relative positive polarity in the form of a leader.
