In the first step, the capacitive charge is exactly compensated in a differential bridge. The polarization component is subsequently eliminated by differentiation between two identical samples. The authors present experimental results concerning low-density polyethylene and polyepoxy samples. The AC threshold fields for charge injection are compared for both materials.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149735,"journal":{"name":"1988.

Issues discussed are the location and identification of electron emission sites, the emission characteristics of sites, and the emission mechanism.

He considered only 18 of the most widely used thermoplastics and five thermosetting compounds. The dielectric and electrical properties included in the ranking are dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor, volume resistivity, and arc resistance. The mechanical and thermal properties considered are tensile strength and impact strength, deflection temperature, and maximum operating temperature. These and other properties are assigned a ranking between 1 and 5 corresponding to the material being poor if ranked 1 and very good if ranked 5. It is found that out of the materials evaluated, only a handful earned an index number in the satisfactory to good range. It is concluded that probably no solid insulating material is available which would be ranked excellent for all dielectric, electrical, mechanical, thermal, and other physical properties.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149735,"journal":{"name":"1988.

It is pointed out that this is a property not only of the ionically conducting systems, such as humid insulators, but also of such purely electronic systems as MOSFETs. It is noted that the spatially discrete filamentary flow of the type discussed is frequently associated with fractal phenomena. On the other hand, the fractional-power time-dependence of the universal law is also linked with fractal processes in the time domain. It is emphasized that what is not clear is whether there is any necessary connection between space and time fractality. It is concluded that the present study may provide material for the furtherance of the relevant theoretical considerations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149735,"journal":{"name":"1988.

The measurements were under voltages with gaps ranging from 1.0 to 5.0 mm. The results show that a transverse magnetic field in excess of 0.1 T causes an increase in the electric strength of vacuum insulation, with the effect increasing with the magnitude of the magnetic field. Increases in the breakdown strength of up to 50% were observed. The largest increase of breakdown voltage was noted for a positive needle-plane electrode arrangement. The amount of increase was less for a needle-needle arrangement, and least for a negative needle-plane electrode arrangement.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149735,"journal":{"name":"1988.

Some data for PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) are analyzed to demonstrate this fact. Molecular models, based on statistical thermodynamical considerations of polarization domains of cylindrical shape, are discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149735,"journal":{"name":"1988.
