• Streamers are low-density conductive structures that form when dielectric liquids are electrically over-stressed [2].
• Streamer characteristics are polarity dependent.
– Positive Excitation: Filamentary structure, Breakdown velocities greater than 1 km/s, 4 propagation modes.
– Negative Excitation: Bushy structure, Breakdown velocities greater than 100 m/s, 3 propagation modes.
Positive streamer growth in transformer oil. Vappl= 82 kV, Gap d= 1.27 cm. [3]
Negative streamer growth in transformer oil. Vappl= 82 kV, Gap d= 1.27 cm. [3]

Observable streamer structures are the result of electrically driven thermal dissipation.
The role of four charge generation mechanisms have been explored.– Fowler-Nordheim electron injection (Unimportant)
Injection of electrons from a highly stressed negative electrode.– Electric field assisted ionic dissociation (Unimportant)
Generation of positive and negative ions due to dissociation of weakly bonded neutral ion-pairs at high electric fields.
– Impact ionization (Unimportant) Generation of positive ions and electrons due to inelastic collisions
of free electrons that are accelerated in the high electric field levels.– Electric field dependent molecular ionization, Field ionization
Generation of positive ions and electrons due to the direct ionization of neutral molecules at high electric field levels.

(a) Von Quincke’s rotor consists of a highly insulating cylinder that is free to rotate and that is placed inslightly conducting oil between parallel plate electrodes. As DC high voltage is raised, at a critical voltagethe cylinder spontaneously rotates in either direction; (b) The motion occurs because the insulating rotorcharges like a capacitor with positive surface charge near the positive electrode and negative surfacecharge near the negative electrode. Any slight rotation of the cylinder in either direction results in anelectrical torque in the same direction as the initial displacement.

For a small perturbation of rotation to grow, the torque balance on the particle is re-written as (Jones, 1995):
