Composite Insulator Materials for Impulse Vacuum Flashover Holdoff

Insulator-vacuum interfaces exposed to high voltage pulses are subject to surface flashover at electric fields many times lower than bulk breakdown fields. Materials with intrinsically higher flashover thresholds are desired to minimize size or maximize transmitted power on pulsed power systems. We...

Description
Summary:Insulator-vacuum interfaces exposed to high voltage pulses are subject to surface flashover at electric fields many times lower than bulk breakdown fields. Materials with intrinsically higher flashover thresholds are desired to minimize size or maximize transmitted power on pulsed power systems. We investigate the effects of volumetric dopants within polymer insulators on surface flashover threshold conditions for fast-risetime pulses.
