Abstract

In the recent decades, the phenomena of space charge accumulation in the high voltage direct current (HVDC) insulation have attracted more and more attention. In this paper, the gradient-distribution multi-layered Al2O3/low density polyethylene (LDPE) nanocomposites were prepared via layer-by-layer melting blending and hot pressing method. Morphologies and electrical properties of these gradient-distribution structured composites were discussed. Results showed that this unique structure could largely enhance the breakdown strength of LDPE. The breakdown strength of the LDPE nanocomposites varied with nano-Al2O3 concentrations, and it could reach to 200 kV/mm for the LDPE nanocomposites. Besides, space charge of the LDPE nanocomposites was measured by pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) method. The charge profiles indicated that space charge suppression of the gradient-distribution multi-layered composites was better than that of the monolayer ones with general mean-distribution structure. Their excellent insulating properties were attributed to the trap which exists in the surface, and that could well inhibit the charge injecting into the materials.
