摘 要:This research provides conclusions that can partially cover the lack of knowledge related to the effects of ambient atmospheric conditions on DC electric power *** polymer insulating materials are used for completing this research *** a climate chamber,the relative humidity is controlled and adjusted from 20%to 80%***,the samples are charged with positive or negative charges by applying±20 kV to the corona-generating ring of *** surface potential is measured using an electrostatic voltmeter and is converted into surface charge density later by applying the probe response matrix *** pre-charged samples are then stressed with high-voltage negative or positive DC values inside the climate chamber over a range of controlled values of the surrounding air humidity until flashover takes *** space charges,which can drift in the air gap to reach the solid surface,are highly affected by the level of the relative humidity of the surrounding ***,increasing humidity results in a reduction of the DC flashover inception voltage and a shorter time to flashover regardless of the voltage ***,the positive or negative flashover inception voltage of both materials increases with pre-deposited negative charges while it decreases with pre-deposited positive charges.
