An impulse voltage was applied to a tungsten needle of 0.5 /spl mu/m radius. The streamer growth was photographed using a high-magnification, high-speed shadowgraph system. The streamer initiation voltage was determined to be -5.18 kV. The initial streamer structure was filamentary. Within 100 ns of inception it changed to a bushlike structure which increased with increasing voltage until a secondary stem appeared and the process appeared to repeat itself. After their expansion process stopped they were noted to break into small bubbles. Partial discharges (PDs) were measured using an LED (light-emitting diode) current measurement system. The relation between PD and streamer growth is discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149803,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena - (CEIDP '93)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125754797","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}

Experiments were designed to characterize the effects of this type of treatment on the morphology and dielectric properties of the film. Several heat treatments, with some approaching the film's melting temperature (265/spl deg/C), were applied. Following the exposure, the dielectric properties of film samples were characterized and correlated to changes in the morphology. Increase in the breakdown strength was observed in samples where the percentage of crystallinity increased through thermal treatments. Increases from 8.5% for free standing samples to 15% for restrained samples were achieved.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149803,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena - (CEIDP '93)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127646832","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}

SF is an important material parameter affecting the breakdown voltage, the space charge detrapping field, the friction coefficient, the wear and the fracture toughness of the dielectric. In the present work, the SF effect was investigated. The experimental study was carried out in an SEM (scanning electron microscope) using an electron beam to bombard the dielectric.

It was found that the TSD current peak temperature, T/sub m/, increased with increase of curing period, and saturated finally at a stabilized value when the curing process was completed. The net increases of T/sub m/S, from the beginning to the completion of the curing, were 25 and 35/spl deg/C, respectively, for the two types of samples. A logarithmic relationship between the T/sub m/ and the curing time, t/sub c/, was established on the basis of experimental data.

Dielectric-relaxation measurement is shown to be a reliable method for studying the degradation of non-Ohmic ZnO ceramics. The frequency spectra of dielectric loss are shifted to low-frequency regions after stressing by impulse current. The shift is attributed to the formation of equivalent dipoles in the grain boundary by the migration of interstitials.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":149803,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena - (CEIDP '93)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125142734","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}
