Characterization of Epoxy Nanocomposites by Space Charge Measurements and Breakdown Tests

Year: 2009

Type: dissertation

Abstract: This thesis deals with characterization of epoxy nanocomposites with different filler types and filler percentages by performing space charge measurements and DC ramp breakdown tests. The space charge measurements were performed at three field levels (10, 15, and 18 kV/mm) using the PEA method. The results were then analyzed. In addition to this, DC ramp breakdown tests at a rate of rise of 500 V/s were performed on the samples. The Weibull parameters for each sample type were then determined from the breakdown results.
