Abstract

This paper presents experimental research on creeping discharge characteristics of TiO2 nanofluid-impregnated pressboards (NPs) under sustained ac voltage. It was found that NPs possess higher resistance to creeping discharge than that of pure oil-impregnated pressboard. The results of permittivity and surface charge accumulation and decay characteristics reveal that the modification of nanoparticles can not only make the electric field more uniformly distributed at the interface of nanofluid/pressboard due to a better matching in permittivity but also significantly increase the surface charge decay rate via a trapping and detrapping process in shallower traps. Thus, the creeping discharge characteristics of NPs are greatly improved by the modification of TiO2 nanoparticles.
