However, in terms of high frequency properties, a rotating machine acts as a highly complex network. Mismatch of impedance and other effects hamper the applicability of different frequency bands for partial discharge testing. The epoxy-mica insulation system widely tolerates partial discharge. Thus, partial discharge activity often serves as an indicator for other defect mechanism, such as mechanical, thermal, or environmental influence.","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.

Being mainly technology driven in the past, cost has become the determining factor in the industry. Improvements in products or processing are only accepted if they reduce overall cost. On the other hand, high voltage motors and generators are long-life capital goods and a reduction in reliability cannot be tolerated. To be successful in the market any development of new insulating materials has to reflect these facts. For this reason a new range of fast curing products for the consolidation of Roebel bars and double layer coils has been developed. The application of the new fast curing materials can be automated using new types of equipment for the production and consolidation of Roebel bars. The new fast curing materials provide a substantial reduction of. processing time and saving of hot press capacity and energy. Together with the new automated Roebelling and application equipment they go a long way towards cost reduction in the production of rotating high voltage machines.","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.

However, the model for the latter does not extrapolate into the former as the number of hopping sites goes to zero. As a result, the conductivity cannot be computed for arbitrary densities of traps and hopping sites. A model has been developed based on quantum tunneling between the nearest neighbor and next nearest neighbor \"traps\" and \"hopping sites\" to calculate the hopping-induced conductivity, especially at high electric fields.
