Morphology of the contact area between solid insulation materials ultimately determines the short- and long-term electrical properties of the complete insulation system. The main purpose of this paper is to propose a statistical model to examine the real area of contact between solid dielectric...

The primary purpose of this paper is to study the influence of the surface roughness and interfacial pressure on the tangential AC breakdown strength (BDS) of solid-solid interfaces experimentally. Three-dimensional surface texture parameters are utilized to characterize the morphology of the...

This paper examines the influence of the elastic modulus of the polymer insulation on the tangential AC breakdown strength (BDS) of polymer interfaces theoretically and experimentally. In the experiments, four different materials with different elastic moduli, namely crosslinked polyethylene...

The interfacial breakdown between two dielectric surfaces was reported to represent one of the leading causes of failure for power cable joints and connectors, in which elastic modulus of the dielectric material plays a key role. The primary motivation of this paper is to study the influence of the...

This paper examines the influence of the elastic modulus and applied contact pressure on the tangential AC breakdown strength (BDS) of polymer solid-solid interfaces theoretically and experimentally. In the experiments, three different materials with different elastic moduli, namely cross-linked...
