INFLUENCE OF THE SURFACE DEFECTS ON THE ABSORPTION/RESORPTION CURRENTS IN POLYETHYLENE INSULATIONS

Cristina STANCU, Petru V. NOTINGHER

The defects on the surfaces or inside of medium and high voltage cables’ insulations determine a local increase of the electric field in their vicinities. This leads to the reduction of the partial discharges and electrical and water trees inception voltages, respectively to the intensification of the degradation proce…
