Abstract
The propagation aspects of a creepage discharge in transformer oil are observed simultaneously and in detail under a positive impulse voltage condition, by means of a high-speed Schlieren optical system, an LED current measurement system and a charge measurement system using a capacitor. In the present paper, the influence of the material type and the thickness of insulating barriers on the propagation of the impulse creepage discharge are discussed for a point to plane electrode geometry. In addition, the influence of a barrier surface to the electric field direction on the propagation of the impulse creepage discharge is discussed for a parallel plane electrode gap with a protruding point.
