The specimens were aged in the laboratory under electrical, thermal and thermoelectrical stresses, for various times, with the purpose of searching for diagnostic indicators derived from space charge data. It is shown that two quantities extracted from space charge measurements, that is, the threshold for space charge accumulation and the apparent, trap-controlled, mobility display a good correlation with aging time and stress, thus providing interesting markers for aging diagnosis and life estimation. Aging models are proposed correlating markers with aging time.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

The main purpose of this work has been to examine if condition assessment can be performed on such cables having typically low density of vented water trees. The actual condition of the cables was determined by laboratory AC breakdown tests and water tree examinations performed on the same cables. Secondly, the influence on the diagnostic testing of the joints installed on the cables has been examined. The results show that it is not possible to distinguish the ageing status for cables having breakdown voltages of 5 U. and higher. The evaluation criteria need to be further developed, in order to examine if the condition of cables with breakdown voltages lower than 5 U. can be reliably assessed. Joints with resistive field grading can have very high resistive losses preventing a reliable condition assessment of the cable insulation.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

IEC Report 932 deals with requirements for enclosed switchgear and control gear from 1 kV to 72.5 kV, to be used in severe climatic indoor conditions and considers the environmental stress factor condensation and pollution. Different test procedures proposed in EEC Report 932 will be illustrated and relevant tests are performed on newly developed medium voltage switchgear NXAir P in the High Voltage Laboratories at Darmstadt University of Technology in cooperation with Siemens AG, Power Transmission and Distribution, Frankfurt.

We observed the extension of a discharge on an electrolyte surface by using an original set-up permitting simultaneous measurements of optical and electrical parameters on the same flashover in different points of the discharge path. The resistance per unit length of the conductive film was varied in the range 2 k/spl Omega//cm to 10 k/spl Omega//cm. Experimental results suggest that on the first half of the course that the discharge nearly propagates with a constant instantaneous velocity. It then accelerates its progression on the second half with discontinuities capable to be assigned to progressions by jumps characterizing a change of mechanism of propagating discharge. Our results have been validated by comparison with those published in the literature, which they confirm and often refine. The results bring to the fore the presence, ahead of the principal discharge, of a photoionization zone in which the development can occur of the streamers serving as precursors to its extension.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

Although several failure mechanisms exist, some of these failures have been caused by exposure to fast rise-time voltage surges coming from inverter drives. Dissection of failed stator windings have indicated that partial discharges have been a predominate cause of the stator failure. Partial discharges may occur between turns during fast rise-time voltage surges and result in degradation of the organic magnet wire enamel impregnants, eventually resulting in turn-to-turn or phase-to-phase failures. In this paper, measurements of the surge environment for several motors are presented, some of which have suffered stator winding failures. Inspection of the winding after failure showed local melting caused by puncture of the insulation. Utilizing custom PD detection instrumentation and a variable rise-time surge generator, measurements of partial discharge inception voltage (DIV) have been made. Combining the DIV data; with the actual surge environment from inverter drive allows assessment of the risk of motor failure due to PD related insulation breakdown.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

The highly repetitive surges may lead to unexpected insulation ageing of inverter-fed low-voltage motor windings, which have been designed without consideration of partial discharges (PD). Since the distance between adjacent magnet wires in a stator slot distributes in /spl mu/m to mm, so-called micro-discharge of very short gap with steep-front surges have been investigated. In order to evaluate PD ageing of polymer material under steep-front surges, we started the fundamental study of PD inception condition under step voltage with rise-time of nanoseconds. Using rod-plate electrodes with 20-50 /spl mu/m air gaps, time delay and charge buildup were measured simultaneously. It was found that charge builds up with PD instantly and decreases very slowly in comparison with repetitive pulse intervals of PWM. The effect of the surface charge on PD inception of the following surge is discussed.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.
