Abstract

In this paper; the problems arising from the application of uniform AC electric fields on water droplets, which are on polymer surfaces, are investigated. Polymeric materials such as silicone rubber, PVC and rubber were used. The flashover voltage was investigated in Terms of water conductivity, polymer surface roughness, droplet volume and droplet position w.r.t. the electrodes. Our reseamh showed that all four aforementioned parameters influence the flashover voltage.
