The conditions needed to obtain a water aerosol, to charge its outward directed flow and to transport the latter over a grounded surface are studied. The schemes and performances of the charged aerosol generators are illustrated. The requirements for such generators were stated based on the gain and transport of the maximal electric space charge into the investigated space area. The main requirements for a charged aerosol transport are a) to provide a charged particle transfer velocity sufficient for overcoming the space charge induced electric field, b) to restrict the particles leaking out the boundaries of a gasdynamic flow and c) to prevent the discharge and breakdown phenomena at the generator outlet. The basic limiting parameters of the charged spatial areas (i.e. the space charge density, the total charge and its volume, the charged particle lifetime and mobility, the supporting electric current etc.) have been obtained. It has been shown, that under optimal conditions for the charged aerosol generation both transport, a space charge can be gained such that its further increase becomes terminated because of the air disruption (as closely analogous to the thundercloud cell). The parameters of such limiting space charges obtained experimentally in a laboratory have been presented.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

The attention is focused on the touch-mode electrostatic actuators. Studies on the effect of the dielectric and electrode material, of the ambient humidity and gas, of the driving signal and the operating mode are reported. The failure modes are identified and some solutions are given. Electrostatic microactuators operating without failures for over 40 million cycles are reported. Areas of further study are identified.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of space charge on breakdown mechanism of PI films in the high temperature region. The electric strength (Fb) decreased with temperature and the DC conduction current (I) increased with temperature. Between room temperature and 100/spl deg/C, there is no space charge detected in PI films. In the high temperature region, hetero space charge tends to be formed near the anode under the high electric field approaching to the breakdown field, but it decreases just before breakdown. These results show a thermal breakdown process based on the space charge modified conduction current is considered as a possible breakdown mechanism of PI films in the high temperature region.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

Characterization of these terminations revealed that the surface of weathersheds had micro-cracks and chalking of fillers by surface aging. Elemental analysis of weathersheds showed that the carbon was decreased and the oxygen was increased due to a little oxidation reaction. In the analysis of oxidation induction time and chemical structure, there were no differences between new and aged terminations. From this study it can be considered that these terminations are relatively sound up to the present. But, composition of material for weathersheds was varied with time and field site. It was confirmed that environmental factors had an effect on the aging through the composition change.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.
