We want to investigate how the field strength will be with air as dielectric and with steatite. A plate
capacitor is placed in a 24 kV network between phase and ground. The relative permittivity of air is
&=1 and for steatite &-6. The plate capacitor has area = 1m². The distance between the electrodes is
2 mm.
Ep = 8.854-10-12 F/m
A=1m²
d=2mm
a) Calculate the maximum field strength in the plate capacitor. (Answer: 9.8kV/mm)
b) What is the capacitance of the capacitor if we use steatite? (Answer: C = 26.6nF)
4- Electrical failure of insulators occurs due to
