Abstract :
In this paper, we have studied the AC breakdown performance of paper-ice composite insulating system immersed in liquid nitrogen. The electric strength (Fb) in this paper-ice composite system is higher than that of paper-liquid nitrogen system. Furthermore, this system shows a self-healing type breakdown behavior. Among the many kinds of liquid to be immersed and frozen to the ice, deionized water gives the highest Fb. The Fb increased with the paper density. The paper-ice composite insulation system is thought to be one of good candidate for the electrical insulating system at cryogenic temperature
