Abstract :
This paper reports the results of our AC and DC breakdown and dielectric permittivity tests on cellulose samples carried out according to ASTM standards. A physical model of breakdown has been proposed to explain the observed results. Also, permittivity variations with humidity and frequency change were investigated. The variation of breakdown strengths and dielectric permittivity with relative humidity levels has been investigated simulation and the results are explained with the aid of Maxwell-Wagner effect.
