Properties of semi-conducting plastics insulating material (TN-ETR-3)

Last updated on 23 April 2013 10:01

This interim report describes the electrical characteristics of carbon – and silicon carbide – filled resins, which are being developed as semi-conducting coatings for outdoor insulators. It is shown that surface discharges that occur on ‘dry-banding’ on outdoor insulators can be suppressed if the insulator has a resistive surface layer. ...
