Experimental Study of the Electrical Characteristics of Ethylene Glycol/Water Mixtures in the Microsecond Regime

In this article, mixtures of water and ethylene glycol, in which the concentrations of ethylene glycol are about 37%, 50%, 60%, and 70%, were used as the dielectric of coaxial transmission lines. The pulse breakdown strength, effective time to breakdown, relative permittivity, resistivity and freezing temperature of the mixture have been studied experimentally.
