The waveform of the prebreakdown current in polyethylene was essentially the same as those in liquid dielectrics. Discharge from the positive point was more intense and faster than that from the negative point in longer gap spacing. A linear relationship to formative time lag and gap spacing was observed for gap length greater than some critical value, which indicates a constant propagation velocity in this region. The velocities are deduced to be 1.7 km/s for a point positive 50-kV and 0.38 km/s for a 60-kV negative point. These values agree with those for liquid dielectrics.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":184126,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Conduction and Breakdown in Solid Dielectrics","volume":"IA-17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126558415","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}

It was found that an initial mechanical stress is necessary for the relatively easy initiation and growth of trees, casting light on the problem reported in earlier work of explaining the development of permanent mechanical stress in polyester specimens under the application of the electrostatic cyclical forces produced by an alternative electric field. Progressive plasticization of the polyester resin reduces the initial stress produced in the specimens during manufacture, and the initiation time is progressively increased as a consequence. Two conflicting mechanisms act in determining the dependence of tree growth on degree of plasticization. On one hand, increased plasticization reduces the internal stress and will reduce tree growth. On the other, plasticization decreases the fracture toughness, and propagation of trees by mechanical fracture will be enhanced.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":184126,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Conduction and Breakdown in Solid Dielectrics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130167842","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}

This effect can result in a critical electric field and, at a lower field, can increase the current density. It is suggested that the model can describe not only the breakdown process in polymer layers and the needle test but also ageing breakdown, e.g. that induced by partial discharges.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":184126,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Conduction and Breakdown in Solid Dielectrics","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132435896","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 DC conductivity, complex dielectric constant in the frequency range from 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz, and piezoelectric constant have been measured for native and mercerized samples as functions of water content. The dielectric increment Delta epsilon of the mercerized sample, as obtained from Cole-Cole plots, is more than twice as large as that of native cellulose. This is attributed to the fact that by mercerization, chains in the amorphous phase are more regularly packed, and the correlation length for orientation of OH groups increases, resulting in an increase of Delta epsilon . In addition, a smaller piezoelectric constant is indicated for the mercerized sample.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":184126,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Conduction and Breakdown in Solid Dielectrics","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134633560","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}

From a comparison of the temperature dependence of tan delta of PE in XLPE (cross-linked PE) cable with that of tan delta in PE film samples, it was found that tan delta gives accurate information about the oxidation in the insulating layer of the cable. The temperature dependence of tan delta in the oxidized PE film has a peak around 0 degrees C, which is caused by the motion of the polar group. After oxidation has begun, tan delta increases to above 40 degrees C. This is attributed to the motion of a small section produced by chain scission. The increase of tan delta as a function of the density of oxidation products is obtained.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":184126,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Conduction and Breakdown in Solid Dielectrics","volume":"594 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114601190","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 cables used were commercial XLPE cables with inner and outer semiconducting layers which were extruded in one operation together with the insulation layer and cured in a water vapor cross-linking unit. The thickness of the XLPE insulation was 2.5 mm and the inner diameter of the outer semiconducting layer was 17.8 mm. The ranges for the electric fields were from 3 to about 30 MV/m and for the temperatures from room temperature to about 90 degrees C. The results demonstrate the complexity of the electric conduction in XLPE and give further evidence that the conduction is space charge limited, injection controlled, and very strongly dependent on the externally applied field and, especially, the cable temperature. The degree of complexity in the electric conduction of realistic cables increases when the cable is not isothermally heated and when there is a temperature gradient between the conductor and sheath. An argument between existing theories and experiments is found.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":184126,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Conduction and Breakdown in Solid Dielectrics","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116927357","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}
