In this study, electrical properties of polyethylene of raised temperature resistance (PE-RT) have been studied through an examination of AC conductivity, dielectric constant, and space charge distributions. A dielectric constant was investigated by Dielectric Analyzer (DEA). Measurements of space charge distributions for PE-RT were carried out using Pulsed Electroacoustic (PEA) techniques, and it was possible to observe the negative charge near the cathode overlapped with the positive induced charge peak, the polarity of which remains unchanged after a short circuit.

Polyimide is widely used as a high-temperature insulating material. Space charge distributions in polyimide (PI) films strongly depend upon electric field, temperature, water content and so on. We observed space charge distributions in PI films with various water contents. When a dc field was applied to as-received PI films or water-treated PI films, positive and negative homo space charges were observed near the respective electrodes at 333 K. In dried PI films, the homo space charges were much reduced, and positive and negative hetero space charges in the bulk were clearly observed. The space charge amounts in water-treated PI films were smaller than in as-received ones, while the current density in water-treated PI film was larger than that in as-received one by two or more orders of magnitude. These suggest not only that the charge injection from the electrode is enhanced by absorbed water but also that absorbed water makes carriers mobile. The decay of space charge was also faster in water-treated PI than in as-received or dried one. This also supports the enhancement of apparent mobilities of carriers in PI by absorbed water.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects of pre-formed space charge by negative DC voltage on partial discharge(PD) patterns of XLPE. We have suggested a modified pulsed electro-acoustic method and demonstrated that the PD patterns are strongly influenced by the pre-formed space charge distributions, which are hardly disappeared up to AC 8kV in electrode configuration including air gap between XLPE layer and electrode.

Our work is based on the development of a numerical model to develop a methodology for predicting the aging and breakdown in insulation due to the dynamics of space charge packets. The model of bipolar charge transports is proposed to simulate space charge dynamic for high DC voltage in law-density polyethylene (LDPE), taking into account the trapping and detrapping of recombination phenomena, this model has been developed and experimentally validation. Theoretical formulation of the physical problem is based on the Poisson, the continuity and the transport equations as well as on the appropriate models for injection. Numerical results provide temporal and local distributions of the electric field, the space charge density for the different kinds of charges, conduction and displacement current densities, and the external current.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects of pre-formed space charges by DC stress on partial discharge(PD) characteristics in XLPE. We have suggested a modified pulsed electro-acoustic(PEA) method and successfully measured both space charge distribution and current simultaneously. It has been demonstrated that the PD patterns are strongly influenced by the pre-formed space charge distributions, which are hardly disappeared up to AC 8㎸ in electrode configuration including air gap between XLPE layer and electrode. From the results, it could be said that the pre-formed space charges by DC stress can play harmful and dangerous roles in insulating system under AC operating voltages because of the field distortion and localization due to the pre-formed space charge.

Space charge distributions in silane crosslinked polyethylene (SXLPE)/ crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) laminates was investigated using a pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method. XLPE shows heterocharge while SXLPE shows homocharge. Positive charge is accumulated at the interface of SXLPE/XLPE laminate when applied electric field is more than 20 kV/mm. The charge profile at various temperatures was also acquired using temperature-controllable PEA system. Although applied electric field is only 8.6 kV/mm, positive interfacial charge starts to appear near 50$^{\circ}C$.

Electrical conduction characteristics of crosslinked polyethylene(XLPE) were investigated using an electrode made of semicon material containing a surfactant. When the semicon material is used as an electrode the conduction of XLPE obeys a space charge limited conduction(SCLC) mechanism which holds true for both control and surfactant-containing semicon electrodes. Conduction currents get higher with the addition of surfactant in the semicon electrodes while the charge mobility increases with the increase of surfactant content in the semicon electrode. The diffusion of surfactant molecules into the XLPE was confirmed via a $\mu$-FTIR analysis. It was found through a measurement of spatial charge distributions that the surfactant in the semicon electrodes enhances the injection of negative charge into the XLPE from the electrode. Experimental results and their origins are discussed in detail.

This paper describes electrical properties such as electrical conduction characteristics and space charge distributions of polyaniline/polystyrene conducting blends. It is interesting to note that the charging current decreased as the temperature was elevated when DC voltage was applied, and also the hopping distance decreased with the increase of temperature for the PANI/HIPS blends, while generally, the hopping distance decreases as the charging current increases. It is exposed that this result is opposed to widely known phenomenon. It could be examined viewing space charge distributions by a pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method.
