Besides, palm oil is interesting liquid insulation for such transformers because of its distinguish dielectric properties. To analyze the dielectric properties of insulating material, polarization and depolarization current (PDC) measurement is one of the widely accepted non-destructive test technique. This paper presents the dielectric response analysis for the insulation system of a mineral oil immersed transformer, a natural ester (FR3) immersed transformer, and a palm oil immersed transformer by analyzing PDC test results. Three identical single phase transformers with 22kV/460V 30 kVA rated were designed and constructed. The first transformer was fully filled with mineral oil. The second and the third transformer was fully filled with natural ester (FR3) and palm oil respectively. After finishing the construction process, PDC measurement technique was applied for these transformers. The PDC measurement were performed for three case studies as follows: 1) dielectric response for the insulation between high voltage winding and low voltage winding, 2) dielectric response of high voltage winding insulation and low voltage connected to ground 3) dielectric response of high voltage and low voltage winding insulation by which the high voltage lead was connected to the low voltage lead. From the test results, it can be concluded that the dielectric response of the insulation system of the mineral oil immersed transformer was obviously different compared with that of the natural oil (FR3) immersed transformer and the palm oil immersed transformer. Moreover, the PDCs obtained from the tests were also analyzed and reported in this paper.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114341254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a thermal ageing experiment had been conducted on the thermally upgraded paper impregnated in mineral oil. Samples were collected on different days, then the space charge characteristic test was performed using pulsed electro acoustic method (PEA method). DC breakdown tests were conducted with and without pre stressing. A ramp test was conducted to determine the space charge injection threshold voltage. From the experiment result, the space charge injection threshold voltages for mineral oil-thermally upgraded paper at each thermal ageing state are attained. Thermal ageing of the insulation will not influence the space charge injection threshold voltage, but with further deterioration, the higher the corresponding voltage will be. The space charge injection for the samples is homo charge injection. The more the deterioration, the easier it becomes for the injection. Thermal ageing does not influence the DC breakdown voltage significantly. Pre stressing will increase samples' DC breakdown field strength.

Fe3O4 (magnetite) nanoparticles (NP) is one of the most investigated type of NP. Some experiments have shown that with its addition to mineral oil (MO) and ester, increases in breakdown voltage (BV) can be achieved applying both AC and DC voltages. This kind of NP have the advantage that can be handled and synthesized safely and easily using a two-steps method. Besides, streamer propagation can be reduced or avoided introducing Fe3O4 NP in dielectric fluids. These NP act as electronic traps and behave like slow-moving charged particles in the NDF. This behaviour as well as other dielectric characteristics such as resistivity, permittivity and loss tangent, depend on the type, size and concentration of NP. In this work, comparisons and analyses of thermal and dielectric performance of NDF with different Fe3O4 NP concentration are made taking into account the evolution and behaviour of streamers. It has been found that temperature in streamer tip, its length and speed depend on the Fe3O4 NP concentration and the BV is affected because of changes in streamer speed. The most adequate concentration for controlling the streamer has been obtained through simulations and comparisons with experimental results showing good agreement.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125931850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The curves obtained within the studies are in general similar in shape with some benefits in direction of curves connected with pressboard impregnated by natural ester liquid. Quantitatively the difference between the considered cases was found as very small (around 2 kV when comparing the Vo obtained). The reason for this may be the difference in electrical permittivity of pressboard impregnated by ester, which is a little bit higher in comparison with pressboard impregnated by mineral oil. The studies confirmed also that the applied three-parameter Weibull distribution is an excellent statistical tool for determination of threshold electrical strength of liquid-solid insulation systems.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129767764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we investigated the time and space dependent characteristics of DC electric field stress in oil from DC-on (initial state) to DC steady-state in oil-PB composite insulation systems. As a result, we quantitatively clarified that DC electric field stress strongly depends on the elapsed time and the location in the electric field space in oil. In particular, it was found that the most severe electric field stress in oil for the electrical insulation performance may emerge during the time transition process between initial DC-on to DC steady-state, using an insulated conductor lead and an actual AC/DC converter transformer model.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129443714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
