Partial discharge of soil occurs when a lightning current enters the ground, and the strength of partial discharge is closely related to the magnitude of its critical breakdown field strength. Therefore, how to accurately obtain the variation law of the typical soil critical breakdown field strength and residual resistivity is the key to realizing the safe operation of the grounding devices and cables in the ground. This paper first selects a variety of typical soils to study the influence of various factors on the morphology of the discharge channel, and then studies the calculation methods of the soil critical breakdown field strength and residual resistivity under the introduction of different discharge channel morphologies and structures, and further discusses the reason why typical soil media factors have a small impact on the critical breakdown field. The experimental results show that under the same conditions, the critical breakdown field strengths of different soils from small to large are sand soil, loam soil and Yellow cinnamon soil. The largest ratio of residual resistivity to initial resistivity of the three soils is sand soil.

Blending thermoplastic elastomers into polypropylene (PP) can make it have great potential for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cable insulation by improving its toughness. However, when a large amount of thermoplastic elastomer is blended, the electrical strength of PP will be decreased consequently, which cannot meet the electrical requirements of HVDC cables. To solve this problem, in this paper, the inherent structure of thermoplastic elastomer SEBS was used to construct acetophenone structural units on its benzene ring through Friedel–Crafts acylation, making it a voltage stabilizer that can enhance the electrical strength of the polymer. The DC electrical insulation properties and mechanical properties of acetylated SEBS (Ac-SEBS)/PP were investigated in this paper. The results showed that by doping 30% Ac-SEBS into PP, the acetophenone structural unit on Ac-SEBS remarkably increased the DC breakdown field strength of SEBS/PP by absorbing high-energy electrons. When the degree of acetylation reached 4.6%, the DC breakdown field strength of Ac-SEBS/ PP increased by 22.4% and was a little higher than that of PP. Ac-SEBS, with high electron affinity, is also able to reduce carrier mobility through electron capture, resulting in lower conductivity currents in SEBS/PP and suppressing space charge accumulation to a certain extent, which enhances the insulation properties. Besides, the highly flexible Ac-SEBS can maintain the toughening effect of SEBS, resulting in a remarkable increase in the tensile strength and elongation at the break of PP. Therefore, Ac-SEBS/PP blends possess excellent insulation properties and mechanical properties simultaneously, which are promising as insulation materials for HVDC cables.

The addition of different dopants affects the densification and electrical properties of TiO2 based varistor ceramics. The nonlinear current (I) and voltage (V) characteristics of titanium dioxide are examined when doped with small quantities (0.5-2 at.%) of strontium oxide. This paper discusses the electrical properties of such an SrO doped TiO2 system, and demonstrates that some combinations produce electrical properties suitable for use as low voltage varistors. The high value of the nonlinear coefficient (α) (6.6), the breakdown field strength (Eb) (328 V/cm) and the leakage current (Ir) (0.22 mA/cm2) obtained in a system newly doped with SrO, are all adequate properties for application in low voltage varistors.

The 2A12 aluminum alloy surface is treated by plasma electrochemical oxidation (PEO) in alkaline solution. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) is used to analyze the phases of PEO coatings. Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) is used to investigate the compactness of PEO coatings. High resistance meter and voltage resistance meter are used to measured Electric resistance and breakdown field strength of PEO coatings respectively. The results show that the PEO coating is composed of α-Al2O3, γ-Al2O3 , etc, and they are all well-insulated substance which is profitable to insulation of 2A12 aluminum alloy. When the thickness of PEO is more than 60μm, porosity in the PEO coating is estimated not more than 15%. Electric resistivity of PEO coatings can reach as high as 1013 Ω·cm, and breakdown field strength of the PEO coatings can reach 72 V / μm.
