A solid insulation system for airborne high-voltage components and systems

A method for the design of a high-voltage solid insulation system used in airborne or satellite high-voltage components and systems is presented, and illustrated with a successful system now used in these applications. The design is based on the elimination of corona in the solid, and principally involves making an insulation with a very high corona inception voltage and then controlling the electric field stress below that level. Examples of actual components and systems designed in this way are shown.
