Dielectric Breakdown Characteristics Depending on The Nano Filler of Epoxy Nano-composites

나노 충진제에 따른 에폭시 나노 컴퍼지트의 절연파괴강도 특성

In this paper, the test is performed on MgO, which is used as a filler in epoxy additives, respectively (0, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 10 [wt%]) for HVDC(high voltage direct current) submarine cable insulating material to improve electrical properties of epoxy resin in high temperature. The breakdown strength due to increasing amount of filler increased to 5.0 [wt%] by the effects of the Coulomb blockade. However, it is confirmed that strength of dielectric breakdown decreased because the filler functioned as impurities and affected the breakdown when filler additive exceeded by 5.0 [wt%] or more. We have found that the highest dielectric breakdown strength of specimen added 5.0 wt% at $25^{\circ}C$, and is more increased approximately 13.7 [%] than virgin specimen.
