Estudos de descargas superficiais em tubos de PVC para uso em aparelhos de alta-tensão.

Abstract

A study of surface discharges in p.v.c tubes from positive and negative polarity atmospheric impulses, with the recording of rupture characteristics in non-uniform fields for pipe and non-pipe arrangements, is reported here. The electric field was computationally calculated by the Charge Simulation Method. A program was also developed to calculate the corona initiation voltage.
