Composite insulator is an important component of outdoor insulation systems. It works in
complex environments and faces a series of problems such as surface contamination, loss …

In high voltage power equipment especially those for outdoor applications, the surface of
dielectrics suffers from various problems such as flashover, raining, contamination, and …

In this paper, the permeation properties of three types of liquids into HTV silicone rubber with
different Alumina Tri-hydrate (ATH) contents had been investigated by weight gain …

Interfaces between different materials, for instance, electrode–dielectrics and
vacuum/air/SF6‐insulators and oilpaper, are universal in high‐voltage insulation systems …

Outdoor insulators are often subject to corona discharges and the problem is becoming
more prevalent with the increasing use of higher transmission voltage levels. For polymeric …

Dielectric polymers are ubiquitous as electrical insulation in electronic devices and electrical
systems. Electrical degradation of dielectric polymers tends to initiate catastrophic failure of …

This paper presents investigations on the performance of 33 kV silicone rubber insulators
characterized by different creepage lengths, which aimed to find out whether the insulators …

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation decreases the hydrophobicity of silicone rubber (SiR) insulators.
Lack of hydrophobicity on the surface of such insulators lowers the flashover voltage and …
