Are polymeric insulating materials useful for high-voltage electrical equipment?

Polymeric insulating materials are crucial for high-voltage electrical equipment. This Review describes the insulation failure mechanisms of polymeric insulating materials used in high-voltage applications, introduces ways to improve insulating performance and discusses the open challenges and future development directions.

Which insulating materials are used in high-voltage electrical equipment?

A wide variety of insulating materials exist. Polymers are extensively used in central insulating frameworks in high-voltage electrical equipment owing to their superior insulation properties, corrosion resistance, chemical stability, ease of processing and cost–effectiveness 11, 12, 13.

Do insulation materials have dielectric properties under high-voltage direct current (HVDC)?

Due to the development and wide-spread use of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission and its related equipment, the evaluation of the dielectric properties of insulation materials under HVDC has become important.

What is HVDC cable insulation?

HVDC cable insulation plays a critical role in the efficiency, reliability, and safety of high voltage direct current transmission systems. As the demand for clean and efficient energy transmission continues to grow, so does the importance of advancing insulation technologies.

Why is insulation important for high-voltage cables?

This is important since the insulation materials for high-voltage cables are subject to stress and strain, particularly during the installation. This can result in the formation of voids or bubbles in the material in a phenomenon known as cavitation.

How to design high-voltage insulation?

A common and practical approach for high-voltage insulation design is to use a macroscopic representation of the dependence of conductivity on the temperature and field, irrespective of the underlying physical origin and mechanism. A number of functional expressions can be found in the literature, such as Equations (4) and (5).
