The reactor is composed of needle-plate electrodes that are placed in a glass container filled with the flue gas, (the plate electrode is immersed in the water). The mechanism of the formation of corona discharge in the pollution flue gas containing sulfur dioxide (SO/sub 2/) and nitrogen oxides (NO/sub x/) is investigated under the conditions that there are different concentration of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides of the flue gas and different applied voltages. Based on this the emphasis is on studying the influence of water on corona discharge in flue gas. The experimental results show that the corona wind forming between high-voltage electrode and water film by corona discharge enhances the cleansing efficiency of the flue gas because of the existence of the water film, and the cleaning efficiency will increase with the increase of the voltage under a definite range of applied voltage. According to this effect a water film electrical corona reactor that we design is used to treat the flue gas of the boiler, and the result shows it not only makes the removal efficiency of dust up to 100%, but also makes about 98% of SO/sub 2/ and 85% of NO/sub x/ removal respectively under suitable conditions. This project is very significant for the prevention of acid rain and the treatment of dust of flue gas and the improvement on the traditional electrical dust precipitator.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

It has been shown in literature that the RVM method can be used to detect local moisture ingress in transformers, but also it has been shown that the old interpretation of the 'dominant time constant' has been found wanting. An important failure of the 'dominant time constant' interpretation is that it both focusses the user on a too simple interpretation and neglects data on other quantities that have also been recorded during this measurement. This paper deals with the all quantities that are recorded during an RVM measurement and shows how to use them so that they can form the basis of a better way to interpret RVM measurements.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

The results confirm the importance of properly controlled processing parameters. Furthermore, the impact of time, and of temperature variation as they typically occur at load cycles, was investigated. Significant change of the clamping force was observed, which means that the static force deviated considerably from the value as set initially, prior to oil impregnation. Even within a short period of 10 days, a slight overall decrease of the clamping pressure was measured.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

Even though the basis of this topic has been developed some time ago, the knowledge of the accuracy and limits of the sensitivity is of increasing importance for large power transformer test engineers who are confronted not only of reliable measurement of PD but also locating the source of discharges. Discharges representative of that occurring in a transformer were recorded by simulating them in a 220 kV test tank. The models simulated the basic insulation configuration of a transformer with multiple pressboard barriers and oil gaps. The influence of the effect of barriers on the sensitivity of UHF and acoustic PD detection were studied. Classical phase-resolved PD patterns were recorded alongside for analyzing the results of experiments. Experimental outcomes on these models were further verified on a 220 kV winding in a 400 kV test tank. Studies reveal that acoustic. sensitivity is seriously impaired by the presence of barriers, i.e. sensitivity of discharges shielded by insulating barriers is low as compared to those discharges in open oil volumes. For comparable distances, this sensitivity limitation is absent for UHF PD detection. Furthermore, merits and limits of individual methods are discussed that may lead to future research.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

Six sigma tools were used to identify the factors influencing test results. A reproducibility and repeatability study identified the contribution of the equipment and operator to the test results.

These microdischarges are analyzed by means of a new aging diagnostic technique. This new approach involves the measurement of the microdischarge inception voltage-the point when microdischarges reach approximately 0.5 pC-and its dependence on the quantity and magnitude of high dV/dt stressing. Taking into account mica's robust nature in thermal environments, little effect from high dV/dt pulses is observed in the material. However, aging does occur at the electrode-mica interface. The Energy Systems Institute (ESI) has developed, over many years, research oriented diagnostic tools for measuring microdischarges on various materials. The Biddle Micro Discharge Analyzer (/spl mu/DA), developed at the ESI in conjunction with AVO-Biddle, accurately measures subpicocoulomb levels of charge on a sample up to at least 20 kV AC+DC. The Model-9 MIT Hard Tube Pulser (MOD-9) has been updated and improved to voltage stress various samples up to a megavolt per microsecond. The focus of this research combines the abilities of the Biddle /spl mu/DA, with the high dV/dt MOD-9 for looking into the relationship of insulation aging as a function of very fast voltage pulses. As more applications move to pulse power, specifically in the military, there is a critical need to evaluate the ability of certain dielectric materials to survive the transition from traditional DC and/or AC power to high rep-rate pulsed power.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.
