The effect of insulator charging on breakdown and conditioning

Abstract: As part of a study on HV design concepts for microwave tubes, a number of different insulator designs have been studied. Analysis of the measured dc current, partial discharge activity and breakdown voltage shows that surface charging of insulators is a key mechanism in the breakdown process and in the conditioning process. Insulator parameters are not only the breakdown voltage, but also the conditioning speed, and the sensitivity to gas exposure or charge leakage., In all these respects insulators with a fie… Show more

“…Recent studies also show that surface charging plays an important role [15]. The conditioning speed, the conditioning stability, and the conditioning effectiveness depend drastically on the presence or absence of surface charge, and may be optimized by the choice of a proper geometry [16].…”
