Electric fields and electrical insulation [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation, 2002 The adoption of a field-theoretical approach to problems arising in the framework of electrical insulation is discussed with reference to six main topics, which have been addressed over the last 30 years. These include uniform field electrodes, Green's differential equation, electrode surface roughness, induced charge, electrostatic probes, and partial
