Abstract
Abstract This paper presents investigations into the electrical properties of liquid natural gas (LNG). The electric strength measurements, under alternating and direct voltages, showed reasonable values when compared with those for other liquid gases. Partial discharge activity was measured, using a pulse-height analyzer, and the behaviour was very satisfactory. The improvements were significant under dc conditions. The dielectric constant and the loss factor were measured and the results showed that LNG held some promise as an electrical insulator in cryoequipment. The use of LNG as an insulator in cryoequipment indicates that it can also be used as a coolant for solid dielectrics. A change to LNG from liquid helium (LHe) would have economic advantages.
