A study on the break-down voltage of laminated insulators at commercial frequency

성층절연체의 적용주파수에 있어서의 파괴전압에 관한 연구

Up to the present time, laminated insulators have been used for the insulation of electrical apparatus. The reason to use laminated insulators is based on the fact that electrical break-down voltage depends on the weak spot theory. If thin insulators are laminated, the weak spot existence probability across the electrodes decreases according to the number of lamination. In this test, the effect of the number of lamination and the thickness of each lamination sheets on their break-down voltage are discussed. The results taken as a whole indicate; (1) The break-down voltage of laminated insulators composed of thin sheets are higher than those of thick sheets, however, the voltage may become the same beyond any definite thickness of laminated insulators. (2) When the lamination sheets becomes thinner, the variation of break-down voltage is great according to the number of lamination sheets. (3) It may by effective to use laminated insulators even when the insulators are aparted from the electrodes.
