Abstract
The review of the work done in the author's group on high field conduction and breakdown in liquid dielectrics is presented. Time of flight measurement of the carrier mobility at higher field and the formative time lag measurement of breakdown at nano-second range to obtain streamer propagation velocity constitute two main subjects discussed. Especially the importance of anode asperities is suggested to trigger the start of positive streamers and to decrease breakdown strength in nano-second range. From the change of breakdown strength at the transition from liquid to solid due to γray induced polymerization, the effect of bubble in the liquid breakdown for longer pulse width is recognized. At high pressure, and shorter pulse width (<100 ns) the breakdown seems to occur through avalanche streamer mechanism.
