Dielectric loss drastically increases with the increase of operation voltage of HTS cables. Therefore, it is highly expected to find a novel insulating material with low dielectric loss for the high-voltage HTS cables. We have focused on Tyvek®, polyethylene (PE) nonwoven fabric, and Tyvek®/PE, a syntactic paper bonding PE-sheet on Tyvek® by heat, as low dielectric loss materials. In this paper, we investigated fundamental partial discharge inception characteristics and their mechanisms of Tyvek® immersed in liquid nitrogen (LN2).In addition, we compared the electrical insulation characteristics of Tyvek®, Tyvek®/PE, and polypropylene laminated paper (PPLP®), and discussed their mechanisms.}, pages = {4800904--4800904}, title = {Electrical Insulation Characteristics and Mechanisms of Low Dielectric Loss Materials for High-Voltage HTS Cables}, volume = {27}, year = {2016} }
