Abstract

Surface discharge at the triple junction (TJ) is a serious threat to the insulation reliability of high-voltage electrical equipment. Direct contact between the metal electrode, the dielectric, and gas at the TJ is avoided by modifying the metal surface with microarc oxidation (MAO). In this paper, the effect of insulation layers on metal surfaces on the surface discharge process at the TJ and the effect of different microarc voltages on the suppression of the surface discharge are investigated. The results demonstrate that the insulation layer significantly increases the surface discharge inception voltage, with enhancement proportional to the microarc voltage and a maximum improvement of 32.4 %. Furthermore, the insulation layer not only reduces both the average discharge magnitude and spatial expansion under high voltage but also proposes a novel approach to suppress TJ surface discharges.
