Study of the electrodes length influence on the trajectories of water droplets dispersed in oil and affected by non-uniform electric field

It is well known that polyethylene (PE) and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) are suitable insulating materials for underground cables. Samples of PE and of XLPE with MgO nanoparticles were investigated regarding their flashover behaviour with a uniform electric field and water droplets of various conductivities. In the present paper, the effect of the mounting arrangement of the water drops on the value of the flashover voltage and the effect of the volume of dripping water on the flashover voltage were also studied. Surface damages were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) studies and the study of the nano-structure of the samples was studied using the SAXS system.

A Study of the Behaviour of Water Droplets Under the Influence of Uniform Electric Field in Epoxy Resin SamplesWater droplets on the surface of epoxy resin samples were investigated under the influence of uniform electric fields. Several parameters of water droplets were investigatedwrtthe flashover voltage of the epoxy resin samples, such as water conductivity, droplet volume, number of droplets as well as the positioning of the droplets regarding the electrodes. The droplet behavior is affected by the above mentioned parameters. Perhaps the most striking conclusion is that the flashover voltage depends more on the positioning of the dropletswrtthe electrodes than on the droplet volume and/or number of droplets.

Flashover Voltage

In this paper nanocomposite samples of epoxy resin and TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated with water droplets on their surface. A uniform electric field was applied and the behaviour of the water droplets was observed. Parameters that were studied were the water conductivity, the droplet volume, the number of droplets and the droplet positioning with respect to (w.r.t.) the electrodes. All above mentioned parameters influence the flashover voltage of the samples. It is to be noted that – at least in some cases – the water droplet positioning w.r.t. the electrodes was more important in determining the flashover voltage than the droplet volume.
