Abstract

This paper covers the concept of high voltage insulators that utilize the INTECH power-core™ material. They consist of a stainless steel electrode and a specially formulated plastic material (PA12G) cast in. A special technology for treatment of metal core (electrode) provides an excellent mechanical connection on the interface between these two materials. The physical properties of the plastic material allow using these insulators for the nanoseconds range, high voltage pulses. The experimental results of the study of threshold electrical properties for these materials are discussed, and the design of the insulators for the 100 kV to 1000 kV range described. Examples of insulators for pulsed electron accelerators are presented. This insulator is reliable, simple and cheaper in comparison with other types.
