Three types of 'universal' behavior prevailing in different areas of dielectric response are indicated which cover the behavior of both 'conventional' dielectric systems with dipolar and hopping charge polarization and certain semiconductor systems. Highly lossy and dispersive LFD (low-frequency dispersion) phenomena are interpreted on the same basis of constant loss per reversal of polarization in terms of electrochemical interactions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149735,"journal":{"name":"1988.

The cable studied was the 138-kV type ( approximately=23-mm insulation wall) and had experienced several failures during its six years in service. The density of water trees over 80 mu m long is strongly related to the presence of the halo, i.e. high water-concentration regions. Shorter trees are located mostly in the middle of the insulation where the water content is very low. The halo is formed to act as a water reservoir, facilitating the growth of bow-tie trees. Heat treatment at a temperature higher than the XLPE melting point causes the halo to disappear totally, but not the water trees.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149735,"journal":{"name":"1988.

It is observed that partial discharges, or conduction current pulses, produced by DC stressing are intimately related to the generation of prebreakdown streamers. The DC-induced events have characteristics that are similar to those produced by impulse voltages. In contrast to the impulse case, the absence of a displacement current for DC conditions allows the conduction current activity to be examined in detail. A demarcation is shown between streamer growth during the current wavefront and decay in the wavetail. The stepped nature of the current wavefront appears not to be related to the event profile, although it may be associated with the underlying discharge process.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149735,"journal":{"name":"1988.

The decay of the surface potential was observed isothermally at room temperature and at 350 degrees C or by a thermally stimulated discharge (TSD) method at linearly increasing temperature. In the isothermal measurements, positively charged samples showed a somewhat faster decay than negatively charged ones. The decays can be interpreted with a simple theory based on carrier drift and compensation by conductivity. TSD peaks of negatively charged material occur at temperatures higher than those of positively charged samples. Activation energies of 1.0 and 1.4 eV for positively charged oxides and 1.9 eV for negatively charged oxides were found.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149735,"journal":{"name":"1988.

Observations of the initiation phase of the LDR are made by an image-preserving optical delay which permits photography of unpredictable events after their occurrence. The current is monitored by a special low-noise preamplifier which also provides timing signals to the photographic system. The current producing the LDR is in the form of a growing pulse train which is in contrast to the linear growth observed in the LDR. It is concluded that the same considerations which explained the absence of an LDR in nitrobenzene can be used to explain the initiation of the LDR in the present investigation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149735,"journal":{"name":"1988.

The voltage ramp releases these charges in opposite directions by coulombic attraction. The charges are then accelerated towards the electrode and initiate an avalanche. The waiting time t/sub w/ influences the threshold voltage in a specified way.

By individually controlling the amplitudes of the positive and negative half-cycles of the AC voltage, it is shown that the polarity reversal of the local field in the polymer plays a crucial role for light emission and subsequent tree inception. If light is not emitted, then treeing does not occur, because it is impossible for the unipolar injected charge to gain sufficient energy to cause impact ionization or break bonds of the polymer chain. The injection of electrons and holes and their recombination at luminescent centers gives rise to light having spectra in the visible and the UV (ultraviolet) ranges. The UV light photodegrades the polymer and leads to the formation of an electrical tree.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149735,"journal":{"name":"1988.
