Abstract

The short and long-term dielectric behavior of a number of representative electrical insulating systems is compared in the presence of space charge. Dielectric materials, used both in the communications and power application areas, are considered. In this overview, particular attention is given to thin inorganic films, organic solid-liquid and solid polymer systems as regards to the manner in which space charge affects their dielectric loss, voltage breakdown, treeing and electrical aging characteristics
