Abstract
In this article, the dissipation of predeposited surface charges on the SiC/epoxy coated insulator is investigated. Similar to Part I of this study, the analysis is carried out for the system of a pair of finger-shaped metallic electrodes placed on flat material samples and different types of material precharging are considered. Specifically, two cases based on different types of electrode–sample contacts (Cases 1 and 2, similar to Part I) are examined as well as surface charging by external corona (Case 3). It is shown that surface charge dissipation in Cases 1 and 2 takes place in two stages, whereas three stages in the charge decay process are identified in Case 3. It is shown that the rate of charge dissipation is strongly affected by the increase of the content of SiC filler in the coating material. The experimental results obtained for different cases are compared and discussed by employing results of the calculations of the electric field in the experimental setups and surface conductivities and surface trap characteristics obtained in Part I.
