Disturbance Field

The development of the electrical power networks to very high voltage (V.H.V) reveals problems involved in the high electric fields; it is essential to consider it in the design of installations in order to avoid or to mitigate some problematic or dangerous effects. Among the most important harmful effects, we can note the "radio interference disturbances". The principal aim of this paper is the use of a simulation programme using an analytical method based on the theory of propagation modes, made by one of the authors, for determination and calculation of the exact profile of disturbance field of actual high voltage lines (220 kV) and in project (400 kV) in dry weather and under rain. Specific software called "effect corona" was developed for this purpose.

Air breakdown by avalanche ionization plays an important role in the electron beam and microwave propagations. For high electric fields and short pulse applications one needs avalanche ionization parameters for modeling and scaling of experimental devices. However, the breakdown parameters, i.e., the ionization frequency vs E/p (volt. cm−1. Torr−1) in air is uncertain for very high values of E/P. We review the experimental data for the electron drift velocity, the Townsend ionization coefficient in N2 and O2 and develop the ionization frequency and the collision frequency for momentum transfer in air. We construct the E/p vs Pτ diagram and show that our results are in better agreement with the most recent short pulse air breakdown experiments, compared to those predicted by the expression of Felsenthal & Proud (1965). This is because they extrapolate an expression for the drift velocity, linear in E/p, to high values of E/p. Experimentally the drift velocity varies as (E/p)½ in the region of E/p > 100.

High voltage SiC semiconductor devices have been successfully fabricated and some of them are commercially available [1]. To achieve experimental breakdown voltage values as close as possible to the theoretical value, i.e. value of the theoretical semi-infinite diode, it is necessary to protect the periphery of the devices against premature breakdown due to locally high electric fields. Mesa structures and junction termination extension (JTE) as well as guard rings, and combinations of these techniques, have been successfully employed. Each of them has particular drawbacks. Especially, JTE are difficult to optimize in terms of impurity dose to implant, as well as in terms of geometric dimensions. This paper is a study of the spreading of the electric field at the edge of bipolar diodes protected by JTE and field rings, by optical beam induced current.

High Electric Fields

Power equipment operates under high voltages, inducing space charge accumulation on the surface of key insulating structures, which increases the risk of discharge/breakdown and the possibility of maintenance workers experiencing electric shock accidents. Hence, a visualized non-equipment space charge detection method is of great demand in the power industry. Typical electrochromic phenomenon is based on redox of the material, triggered by a voltage smaller than 5 V with a continuous current in μA~mA level, which is not applicable to high electric fields above 106 V/m with pA~nA operation current in power equipment. Until now, no naked-eye observation technique has been realized for space charge detection to ensure the operation of power systems as well as the safety of maintenance workers. In this work, a viologen/poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)(P(VDF–HFP)) composite is investigated from gel to insulating bulk configurations to achieve high-voltage electrical-insulating electrochromism. The results show that viologen/P(VDF–HFP) composite bulk can withstand high electric fields at the 107 V/m level, and its electrochromism is triggered by space charges. This electrochromism phenomenon can be visually extended by increasing viologen content towards 5 wt.% and shows a positive response to voltage amplitude and application duration. As viologen/P(VDF–HFP) composite bulk exhibits a typical electrical insulating performance, it could be attached to the surface of insulating structures or clamped between metal and insulating materials as a space charge accumulation indicator in high-voltage power equipment.
