This work studies the dielectric characteristics of three insulators, two silicone oils, and a silicone-based gel, in order to assess their suitability as insulators under extreme environmental conditions. Permittivities are determined for frequencies between 0.1 Hz and 1 MHz and for temperatures ra...
