Abstract

We have discussed dielectric characteristics of liquid nitrogen (LN₂)/polypropylene (PP) laminated paper composite insulation system for the practical electrical insulation design of high temperature superconducting (HTS) cables. Focusing on the partial discharge (PD) inception characteristics and mechanism, the volume effect and its saturation on PD inception electric field strength (PDIE) was evaluated at atmospheric and pressurized condition. PD inception characteristics under lightning impulse voltage application were also investigated using an electrical and optical PD measuring system, and compared with those under ac voltage application.
