Copper contaminated insulating mineral oils-testing and investigations
Reactions between the liquid insulation and the copper conductors in power transformers and other electrical apparatus may lead to the formation of dissolved and suspended copper in the insulating oil. In this work a study concerning the correlation between the copper form and the dielectric properties of the fluid is presented.

Metallic properties of magnesium point contacts [PDF]
We present an experimental and theoretical study of the conductance and stability of Mg atomic-sized contacts. Using Mechanically Controllable Break Junctions (MCBJ), we have observed that the room temperature conductance histograms exhibit a series of ...

Surface Discharge Analysis of High Voltage Glass Insulators Using Ultraviolet Pulse Voltage
Surface discharges are precursors to flashover. To pre-empt the occurrence of flashover incidents, utility companies need to regularly monitor the condition of line insulators.

Classification of Contaminated Insulators Using k-Nearest Neighbors Based on Computer Vision
Contamination on insulators may increase the surface conductivity of the insulator, and as a consequence, electrical discharges occur more frequently, which can lead to interruptions in a power supply.

Bulk contribution to magnetotransport properties of low defect-density Bi$_2$Te$_3$ topological insulator thin films [PDF]
An important challenge in the field of topological materials is to carefully disentangle the electronic transport contribution of the topological surface states from that of the bulk.

Effects of Carbon Nanoparticles on Triboelectro‐Induced Surface Defects
Carbon nanoparticles added to grease modify the electrocontact behavior. The synergy of particle concentration and electric current dominates the surface damage of metals in contact. Electrical surface damage caused by current leakage is a critical challenge in high‐performance applications such as electric vehicle (EV) drivetrains and wind turbine ...
