Characterization of space charge in the solid insulating materials

High voltage (HV) insulation is an important part in power system apparatus. Its role is to protect the system or device from the overvoltage phenomena. However, deterioration and breakdown in HV insulator had become a major problem. One of the reasons that contribute to this problem is the presence...
