Abstract
An effort to highlight the role of space charges inside dielectrics and their propagation is made in the present paper. Solid insulating materials in various parts of high voltage devices and machines are crucial for the insulating performance and their reliable functioning duration. Space charge distributions and space charge propagation in the form of pulses, called charge packets, are studied in this paper pointing out on one hand the initiating mechanisms and on the other hand the propagation mechanisms of charges inside dielectrics, as they are introduced in the scientific literature. Experimental data are used from other papers, mainly those referring to space charge distributions versus space and simultaneously versus time in a classification attempt of the aforementioned parameters.
