| description | The constant development of the electrical engineering sector, especially in the transmission of electrical energy under high-voltage direct current (HVDC), requires research on new insulation materials and investigations of physical phenomena under ultrahigh electrical fields in solid dielectrics. One of the current problematic issues is the formation of space charge in HV insulation systems, which affects the operational electrical field distribution and can lead to faster insulation degradation. There are several problems that have to be considered before every space charge measurement, such as the attenuation and dispersion of sound waves in tested dielectric materials, reflections at the interfaces, and the spatial resolution of the measured charge profile. The spatial resolution is one of the most important technical factors of the PEA measurement stand. The spatial resolution, as it is assumed, depends on several factors, such as the width of the pulser and the pulse rise time, the thickness of the piezoelectric sensor, and the dispersion of the tested material. The article presents the laboratory measurement results of the impact of pulser parameters, such as pulse width and rise time, and sensor thickness on the equivalent thickness of the measured net charge layer corresponding to the resolution of the method. The dispersion in the tested LDPE material is also presented and analysed. The results show that with an increase in the pulser rise time, a higher resolution of the pea method can be achieved. |
