Partial discharge and breakdown strength characteristics of cross-linked polyethylene/SiO2 nanocomposites

The partial discharge and dielectric breakdown strength characteristics are among the parameters measured for insulation development, especially for the power cable. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is a type of host polymer used widely to insulate the conductor part of the medium and high voltage c...

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is a type of host polymer used widely to insulate the conductor part of the medium and high voltage cables.
