DC breakdown characteristics of XLPE/BNNS nanocomposites considering BN nanosheet concentration, space charge and temperature

Breakdown failure in insulation material is one of the key problems that threaten the safe operation of high-voltage direct current cable. In this work, the effect of boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) concentration, space charge and temperature on DC breakdown strength have been explored. Cross-linke...

description Breakdown failure in insulation material is one of the key problems that threaten the safe operation of high-voltage direct current cable. In this work, the effect of boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) concentration, space charge and temperature on DC breakdown strength have been explored. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE)/BNNS nanocomposites were prepared by the melt blending method, and the basic characteristics of nanoparticles and composite were characterised. The experimental results indicate that DC breakdown strength of nanocomposite can be effectively improved when a small amount of BN nanosheet is doped into the matrix. The breakdown strength of the sample reaches the maximum value of 407.52 kV/mm when BNNS content is 0.5 wt%, which is about 33% higher than that of pure XLPE. Further, the effect of space charge on the breakdown of nanocomposites has been studied by pre-injecting charges. For the samples with different BNNS contents, all the breakdown strength present ascending trend when the polarity of the applied voltage is the same as that of the pre-injected charges. Besides, it can be found that the breakdown strength of the XLPE/BNNSs composite decreases significantly at 50°C, which is due to more charge accumulation at 50°C. It reaches 2.06 × 10^−8 C which increases by about 2.2 times than the room temperature.
