Abstract
As the temperature gradient always exists in the insulation of power equipment, the influence of temperature gradient on oil-impregnated paper insulation is studied by experiments and simulation. It's found that in the both single-layer and double-layer structures, the heterocharges always appear near the lower temperature electrode, and increase with the enhancement of temperature gradient and field stress, resulting in more considerable field distortion. However, there are more heterocharges in the single-layer samples while the field distortion is more severe in double-layer samples. Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the mechanism of temperature gradient effect. It is indicated that the space charge accumulation is mainly due to the temperature dependence of the charge injection and conduction. The behavior of interface charges can be well described by assuming an energy barrier for charge transportation at the interface.
