“…Multi layered insulation with permittivity and conductivity gradients was used to increase the Apart from the external conditions, a modification of the dielectric material also improved its surface flashover properties. Recently, polymer nanodielectrics have attracted considerable interest, since they exhibit not only favorable bulk electrical properties, e.g., good dielectric response, [22][23][24] high breakdown strength, [23][24][25] and reduced space charge accumulation, 26 but also present some favorable surface properties, such as reduced surface erosion, tracking failure 27 and surface flashover. [28][29][30][31] It should be noted that incorporation of nanofillers into a polymer or its micro composites is a potential choice likely to enhance surface flashover strength.…”
