Abstract

In this paper, space charge behavior over a large range of electric field and temperature, of two kinds of epoxy resins are investigated using an improved pulsed electro-acoustic method. Significant influence of high electric field and high temperature on the space charge accumulation in epoxy are found. Hetero charge accumulation starts to build up at 80 °C under 120 kV/mm for amine-type hardener cured epoxy (EP-AM), while at 140°C under 60 kV/mm for anhydride-type hardener cured epoxy (EP-AH). The accumulated charge increases with the increasing of electric field and temperature. The maximum enhancement of local electric field of is 135 and 123% at 140°C for EP-AM and EP-AH, respectively.
