The proliferation of urbanization and the integration of new energy sources have stimulated
the development of gas-insulated transmission lines and switchgear (GIL/GIS). In particular …

Dielectric window breakdown is a serious challenge in high-power microwave (HPM)
transmission and radiation. Breakdown at the vacuum/dielectric interface is triggered by …

As well known, the surface conditions of solid materials strongly affect the flashover
phenomena under high electric field. The artificial doping ingredients could change the …

This paper presents the surface discharge characteristics with changes in gas pressure
under a sphere-plane electrode with a Teflon dielectric in N 2/O 2 mixed gas (80: 20) and …

Charge accumulation under high voltage DC is a major concern in the transmission system
as its presence distorts the local electric field. By performing chemical treatment on …

With the development of high power microwave (HPM) technology, the power and pulse
duration of the HPM source increase substantially, the breakdown of the dielectric window of …

The present paper investigates the breakdown characteristics—breakdown voltage, with
breakdown occurring on the rising edge of the applied HV impulses, and time to breakdown …

Breakdown voltages in 27 types of virgin and fractured X7R multilayer ceramic capacitors
(MLCC) rated to voltages from 6.3 to 100 V have been measured and analyzed to evaluate …

Dielectric flashover along insulators in vacuum has been comprehensively researched in
the past. Less studied, but of similar importance, is surface flashover at atmospheric …

Surface electrical insulation performance is an important issue in pulse power devices. In
order to investigate the surface flashover characteristics in an environment of high pressure …
