Abstract: The increasing request for energy quality and, thus, insulation system reliability associated with significant steps in the manufacturing of new insulating matérials are pushing strongly the research on new techniques for the diagnostic of insulation ageing. Space charge measurement system for dielectric materials under irradiation has been developed by using the pulsed electroacoustic method (PEA). This system can observe space charge profiles in dielectric matérials under irradiation, and was applied to an irradiation chamber. These devices are now under construction. We will start to make a test experiment.
