This paper presents a physico-chemical experimental study of treeing structures expanding in EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) in a point - plane electrode geometry. Accelerated electrical degradation tests, under alternating 50 Hz electrical field, were realised on this polymer to initiate trees and to follow their propagation (i.e. the tree length) by measuring the partial discharges (PDs)...
Since insulation plays a significant role in ensuring the reliability of an polymeric underground cable, many researchers across the globe are very much interested to investigate the mechanisms responsible for insulation degradation when it is subjected to high electrical stresses. One of the ways to monitor the processes leading to breakdown is by observing a phenomenon known as electroluminescence...
Nanotechnologies are now inevitable regardless of the scope. In electrical engineering, especially in the context of "major" power systems, insulating materials of tomorrow are in the field of nanotechnologies. These new materials are commonly called "nanodielectrics". Having conducted numerous studies on the intrinsic electrical properties of nanomaterials, we propose in this...
In this paper the space charge distribution profile along the thickness of tree-retardant crosslinked polyethylene (TR-XLPE) cables, commonly used in medium voltage system and degraded under multiple factors as temperature, AC and impulse voltages are presented. A comparison of the space charge distribution along the insulation thickness (radial direction) of samples extracted from 15 kV TR-XLPE cables,...
