Partial Discharge Current Characteristics in XLPE Nanocomposite Insulation of single-core Power Cables.

Partial discharges were caused by abnormalities of electric fields in insulating material; typically, sharp points and edges provide a concentration of electric field intensity. This work intends to investigate partial discharge (PD) current that results from irregular surfaces in nanocomposites insulation material; PD current in XLPE insulation of power cables has been caused by air voids, water voids, and rubber impurities. This research applied novel single and multiple nanocomposites to enhance electrical products utilizing nanotechnology techniques. In order to improve electrical products using nanotechnology techniques, new individual and multiple nanocomposites have been designed in this research. Therefore, it has been examined on the effects of partial discharge current in single-core power cables utilizing modern theoretical approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
