Abstract:One of the issues of using cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) in DC insulation systems is the propensity of crosslinking byproducts to promote charge buildup inside the insulation, leading potentially to insulation failure. Field-induced ionization of the molecules, like in insulating liquids, is thought to be one of the processes of charge generation. In this paper, space charge measurement is realized to probe the effect of cumyl alcohol as one of the crosslinking byproducts. Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is… Show more
