Abstract

The Electroluminescence (EL) technique has garnered significant interest over time for its reliable outcomes that enrich our understanding of the onset of electrical degradation in polymeric material. There is growing interest in combining both the EL technique and space charge measurement methods to obtain a more profound knowledge of the degradation and ageing of insulation. The generation of charge carriers in polymeric materials is widely acknowledged to be a crucial aspect of EL, involving injection, de-trapping, and field dissociation processes. This research investigates the variables that influence how EL emissions behave, including applied voltage or electric field, applied electrical frequency, ageing of material, and selection of materials and gases employed. It was found that these factors can be helpful in predicting the process of electrical ageing in insulation to avoid any catastrophes that may occur. A mathematical approach relating these factors and the intensity of EL is proposed through the aid of Dimensional Analysis method. A close relationship is obtained that suggests this mathematical approach can be utilised as a tool to predict electrical ageing of insulation material.
