Abstract

We investigated the tracking and erosion resistance of the silicone rubber by Inclined-Plane Method. And, with the variation of the accelerated conditions such as the applied voltage and composition of contaminant, the change of the tracking characteristics according to such conditions was evaluated. The leakage current significantly increases with the increasing voltage, but the weight loss remains almost the same. The voltage above 5.0 kV isn't recommended because tracking breakdown occurs as fast as it does without erosion, and the typical discharge waveform was the form of rectifying wave.
