The use of modern polymeric materials as dielectrics makes it possible to increase operational characteristics of the elements of various electric power and electronic devices. The necessary combination of interconnected values of permissible electric field strength and maximum operating temperature is crucial when choosing a particular polymer material. The relationship of these parameters is nonlinear due to the nonlinear dependence the electrical resistivity and the thermal conductivity coefficient on temperature of the polymer material. This relationship can be represented in a closed analytical form of integral relations in which the variable limit of the integrals is the desired function describing the temperature distribution in the dielectric layer. A quantitative analysis of these ratios for five different polymeric materials with known electrothermal characteristics has been carried out. The results of calculations of the temperature state of the dielectric layer and the distribution in the layer of the absolute value of the electric field intensity are given. The presented results can be used to justify the choice of a particular polymer material as a dielectric in the designed devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
