Abstract

The time characteristics of the surface charge accumulation process on cylindrical polymeric model insulators under dc stress were investigated in a partial discharge free, dry air environment. In order to simulate the influence of different dielectric and electric material properties on surface charge accumulation, a tool was developed which considers also the nonlinear behavior of the electric conduction mechanism within the gas volume. The results of simulation have been verified by measurements of the surface potential distribution along the samples at different ambient temperatures.
