Space charge behavior and its modified electric field in the cross-linked polyethylene under applied voltage DC and different temperatures

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, space charge behavior in dielectric material and the capacitive charge at an electrode-dielectric interface, at room temperature under an applied electric field, has been investigated. This was done for a single sample and for a combination of the sample and a non-stressed sample using the pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) method. A negative charge injected at the dielectric interface under an electric field (polarization) and high temperatures was focused on. It was found that negative charge injection takes place under all the test conditions, and this charge can be affected by the electric field and the temperature.
