This experimental study focuses on the impact of temperature and inter-electrode distance
on high-voltage breakdown voltage in the air, specifically for a planar-plane electrode …

High voltage is essential in power grids, but it inevitably leads to high electrical stress and
the associated risk of electrical discharges. Due to the complexity of the phenomena …

The breakdown voltage of air in highly divergent electric fields in not very short gaps (a few
mm and above) is typically higher for negative energisation compared to positive …

Non‐pressurised air is extensively used as basic insulation medium in high‐voltage
equipment. Unfortunately, an inherent property of air‐insulated design is that the system …

Knowledge on the breakdown voltage behavior in microgap distances at different pressures,
from few tens of Pa up to atmospheric pressure, is extremely useful for designing electric …

The numerical simulation of physically complex processes is a well-established tool for
efficient component development. For electrical insulation systems, simulations of the …

To clarify the breakdown mechanism and the conditions leading to the breakdown under
non-uniform electric field in air, we studied the details of breakdown characteristics and …

In this study, I present my research on the breakdown phenomenon and discharge
characteristics of gaseous dielectrics under DC voltages with different pressures. All of the …

The grounded back electrode can reduce the breakdown voltage. Inserting an insulation
barrier is an effective way to increase breakdown voltage. The objective of this paper is to …

In high-voltage equipment, unpressurized air is utilized generally as the principal insulating
medium. Unfortunately, the tendency for the system to grow physically big is a flaw in the air …
