Abstract
Electric field grading compositions comprise a particulate cupric oxide dispersed in a matrix material, wherein the electric field grading composition has a threshold voltage, a breakdown voltage, and exhibits a reversible electric field switchable current-voltage relationship that substantially follows the equation:I=kVwherein: I is current in amperes; k is a constant greater than 0; V is applied voltage in volts, wherein V is between the threshold voltage and the breakdown voltage, inclusive; and α is a real number greater than 1. The electric field grading composition is useful for reducing electric field stress at a joint or termination of a conductive substrate. Articles including the electric field grading disposed on a surface of a conductive substrate are also disclosed.
