“One way to facilitate the efficient transport of electricity is an increase in the direct current voltage level. However, an increase in the transmission voltage adversely affects the insulation material. The resulting higher electric field stresses could be handled if the electrical conductivity of the insulation material was reduced sufficiently”, explains Xiangdong Xu, research specialist at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology
