Abstract:To investigate the spatial electric field with the point-plate electrodes configuration, variations of the electric field intensity are analyzed for absolute air dielectric and liquid dielectrics contained in air dielectric based on the finite element method of numeric computation. The results show that the electric field intensity of the spatial electric field is great non-uniform with the point-plate electrodes configuration for absolute air dielectric, and it can be increased rapidly at the nozzle point to achieve a maximum value. Single oil drop existed in air dielectric induces a biggish deformation of the gradient of the electric field intensity in its neighbor field. Many oil drops along with horizontal distribution have an obvious tensioning operation on the electric field, so the electric field intensity on the normal at the nozzle point has an evident augment for overlapping effects among the oil drops, and it can spread electric corona area of the total spatial electric field.
