Abstract

Composite insulation system of liquid nitrogen and solid spacer is widely applied in high temperature superconducting power machine. This study has three step procedure. As follow, first step is composition of parallel deposited electrode and vertically deposited electrode along the direction of immersion in liquid nitrogen($LN_2$). Second step is investigation into surface flashover voltage of solid spacer under partially immersed in $LN_2$, and last step is comparison the result of this research with that of fully immersed in $LN_2$ and at cryogenic temperature gaseous nitrogen($GN_2$). This result presented that surface flashover voltage along solid spacer half immersed in $LN_2$ was almost the same as that of fully immersed spacer when the thickness of spacer(t) was t<10 mm. In the case of t>10 mm, however, spacer flashover voltage was equal to that obtained in $GN_2$ at cryogenic temperature.
