Thermal analysis of thermoplastic elastomer materials due to electrical tracking phenomena

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) material is a new material in which to be responded into high voltage system application as an outdoor insulation. Polymeric material was found has major advantage in weight reduction compared to ceramic and glass. However, for long time application under environment fa...
