Study on the Influence of AC Corona on Hydrophobic Distribution of Silicone Rubber Surface in High-speed Air Flow Environment
Corona discharge is one of the main factors causing the aging of the railway roof insulators.Based on an artificial experimental wind-tunnel platform
the influence of different intensity of AC corona on the distribution of hydrophobicity on the surface of silicone rubber was studied.The influence of airflow on corona discharge channel and current were analyzed.The reason for the deflection of the distribution of hydrophobicity in the high-speed airflow environment was discussed.The results reveal that the position of most serious hydrophobicity loss is offset along the direction of the airflow when the intensity of corona is large enough.Reason is that the main path of the discharge changes with the presence of high-speed airflow when the path developed in the gap of needle-plate.Meanwhile
when the speed of airflow is constant
electric field force acting on the particles raises with the increase of the corona discharge intensity
resulting the number of the particles blown away from the gap by the high velocity airflow decreasing.In addition
the distance that the electron moves in the gap is longer and mean free path of electrons increases
which makes the energy obtained by the electrons increased.Therefore the discharge intensity increases.The results can provide a reference for the design and maintenance of high-voltage insulation for high-speed railway.
