SCARLET at Electrostatics 2025

SCARLET’s Luhan Zu presented his work on electrical insulation at cryogenic temperatures last week at the Electrostatics Conference in Bologna.

His presentation was entitled “Influence of polypropylene content in PPLP for high voltage insulation at cryogenic temperature” and is part of a collaboration among ESPCI, Nexans and ASG Superconductors. This work explores how polypropylene ratios affect the reliability of high-voltage insulation at very low temperatures – an important step towards superconducting power systems cooled by liquid hydrogen, as will be demonstrated in SCARLET.

Organised every four years, the Electrostatics Conference provides a forum for the exchange of latest knowledge and new ideas in the science and technology of electrostatics, as well as for discussion of electrostatics hazards and problems. The interaction between academic and industrial participants is particularly encouraged.
