Surface discharge characteristics of polymer-nanocomposite material as electrical insulation

Surface discharge is electrical discharges that normally happens on the surface of insulators and also cause the failure in electrical insulation if not taken action. On the high voltage stress, the surface discharges cause deterioration of insulating materials. The experimental was carried out to i...
