Influence of the Radiation Destruction of Polymeric Insulation on its Ageing in the Impulse Electric Field

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sensitivity of the destructive doses of ionizing radiations, specifically radiolysis gaseous products to multipulse electric intensity of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and a polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) was investigated. LDPE and PMMA were found to differ significantly depending on radiation resistance and gas permeability. The service life of the materials was basically determined by the intensity of the destruction processes at the molecular level, the macrodefects were developed at the last ageing stage . It was shown that microseconds impulses did not cause accumulation of volume charge in LDPE and PMMA. It was concluded that the ageing of polymer dielectrics affected by electric microseconds impulses did not relate to volume charge accumulation in the polymers.
