Abstract:In order to study the long-term aging characteristics of XLPE/SiO2 nano-composites under HVDC, a comparative study of pure XLPE and XLPE/SiO2 nano-composites was conducted. First, aging experiments were performed on both materials at different DC electric fields. It was found that XLPE/SiO2 nano-composites did have better electrical and life characteristics than pure XLPE at higher electric fields. However, with the decrease of the DC electric field, the lifetime of XLPE/SiO2 nano-composites was getting closer to that of pure XLPE. Until the minimum electric field is 115kV/mm, the characteristic lifetime of XLPE/SiO2 nano-composites was shorter than that of pure XLPE. Experimental studies further found that the life index of XLPE/SiO2 nano-composites was lower than that of pure XLPE. Therefore, although XLPE/SiO2 nano-composites composite showed excellent short-term electrical properties, the long-term DC aging property might not be better than that of pure XLPE.
