Abstract

A prolonged period of ageing behavior on polyethylene samples containing a gas-filled cavity has been investigated using diagnostic assessment methods to develop understanding of the causes of dielectric failure. In this experiment, low density polyethylene (LDPE) samples are made using a multiple layer technique. The experimental results detail the investigation for correlation between the partial discharge (PD) characteristics and chemical reactions on the cavity surface. The evolution of discharge mechanisms can be distinguished into three stages with an elapsed time of ageing. Some visible evidence of eroded by-products on the inner surface of a cavity are examined by measuring further at the level of microanalysis as a result of oxidative ageing in terms of chemical by-products, microscopic structures and thermal degradation.
