Abstract

The paper presents the DC characterization of two elastomeric materials, a key step in the design of an HVDC accessory. DC conductivity, on the full temperature and electric field application range, is a critical characteristic integrated in simulation models. The investigation of space charge behaviour (using the pulsed electroacoustic method PEA) is complementary to DC conductivity measurements: space charges play an imporatnt role in charge carrier conduction and anticipate full size tests where field is locally enhanced due to charge accumulation in the material.
