Abstract
The relation between ageing and space charge is a hot area, but there is little direct evidence. In this paper, oil-paper samples were exposed to 20-kV/mm DC electrical field, 130°C temperature or both 20-kV/mm DC electrical field and 130°C temperature separately. Charge transport through them was analyzed at intervals by the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method. We find that the quantity of trapped charge increases with stressing durations, no matter what kind of stress oil-paper is exposed to. That indicates that energy release through space charge movement, such as charge trapping/detrapping and recombination, is another reason for traps generation besides deterioration caused by thermal ageing. However, because the difference in cellulose degradation mechanism among them, charge transport dynamics are thereby different under different stressing conditions. Space charge accumulates faster inner electrothermally stressed oil-paper than that inner another two kinds of oil-paper, and the sign of trapped charge is positive if oil-paper is electrically or electro-thermally stressed. The latter behavior is discussed in terms of electromagnetic dynamics due to cavity within oil-paper once there is external electric field.
