Reliability and durability of polymer insulators of the contact network
On the network of electrified railroads and power lines of advanced countries there is an intensive work undergoing on the conversion of traditional insulating structures made of porcelain and glass to new ones - polymeric. In order to minimize mechanical

Sessile water droplets on insulating surfaces subject to high AC stress effect of contact angle [PDF]
Surface pollution of outdoor high-voltage insulators is an important cause of flashover. We have undertaken an experimental study of electrical breakdown at the edges of a sessile water droplet on a planar, polymeric, insulating surface when subject to ...

Ageing and reliability of electrical insulation: the risk of hybrid AC/DC grids
With an impetuous growth of DC links and future grids that will be often hybrid, providing AC and DC supply to nearby or the same customer, an important element is often neglected, that is, electrical insulation.

In‐situ observation of electrical tree evolution in epoxy dielectrics with internal cracks
Gas‐filled internal crack might appear in thermoset materials like epoxy resin during the equipment manufacturing, which would become a vulnerable local region to initiate the electrical tree, thus prone to cause insulation failure. The withstand voltage

Effects of spin symmetry breaking in topological insulators [PDF]
Topological insulators are one of the most thoroughly investigated systems in condensed matter physics over the last years. In these systems, a prominent role is inevitably taken by time-reversal symmetry, which leads to Kramers theorem and symmetry ...
