Analyze key factors to governing the breakdown in solid liquids and gaseous
dielectrics? Is breakdown occurring in composite solid di-electrics same as
breakdown in any two solids? Discuss why it is same or different?
Breakdown of gaseous dielectric is governed by rapid growth of current
due to emission of electron from the cathode, ionization of gas particles
and fast development of avalanche process. So by controlling these factors
we can control the breakdown in gases. Ionization is main process which
causes the breakdown in gases. So by reducing ionization we can reduce
the breakdown in gases. And also we studied that when break down occurs
in gases liquids and solid, the gases gain their strength very fast, liquid
regain it partially and solid dielectric lose their strength completely.
The breakdown in solids depends upon the magnitude of applied voltage,
and also on the time for which voltage is applied. So, by controlling these
two factors we can control the breakdown in solid dielectrics. Following
factor must be considered to control the breakdown in solid dielectric
mechanical strength, gaseous inclusion, chemical deterioration and di-
electric loss.
In liquids impurities is the main reason of breakdown so break down in
liquids and solids can be controlled by reducing impurities from liquid. Di-
electric strength viscosity, stability, flashpoint and gas constant must be
considered to control the breakdown in liquid di-electrics. These factors
must be considered while selecting the liquid di-electrics. Dielectric
strength is another important parameter to govern the breakdown in liquid.
Breakdown of liquid also depend upon gap length.
As we know that for good dielectric constant of dielectric should match. So, for
any two solids may be their constants are not matching. Also, we know that
simplest form of composite dielectric consists of two layers of same materials. In
few cases behavior of composite dielectric can be predicted from the behavior of
components but in most cases the system as whole to be considered. So, from
these statements we can take the result breakdown occurring in composite solid
dielectric is different from breakdown in nay two solids.
