Comparison of the performance of a high voltage generator insulated by gas or liquid dielectric

Rev Sci Instrum. 2020 Jul 1;91(7):074712. doi: 10.1063/5.0009519.

Abstract

A module of a wireless high voltage generator was tested immersed in both gaseous and liquid environments providing electrical insulation. The overall performance of the module as well as a detailed performance of the key components are reported, and a comparison between the results in gas and liquid is given. The tests performed on the liquid dielectric show that it is a valid alternative to high pressure gas electrical insulation.
