This last bar was one with tight lateral clearance, thus the paint could not easily infiltrate and restore the damaged area.

{"title":"The new approach to designing HV insulation with high reliability for overhead lines and substations","authors":"A. Valdman","doi":"10.1109/ELINSL.2002.995928","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ELINSL.2002.995928","url":null,"abstract":"To specialists, insulation coordination is well-known. The insulation level of the overhead line or the substation is determined from a distribution curve of the flashover voltage of a single insulator in the region of extremely low probabilities (flashover voltage distribution-FOV). This probability of insulation flashover, the minimum acceptable in operation, (Pperm) corresponds to a certain voltage Uo which, as a matter of fact, is the insulation level (BIL) of the line of substation as a whole. From here it follows that the possible difference in the form of the flashover distribution curve in the region of very small probabilities by calculation (a part of a curve \"C\", instead of a part \"B\") can result in a serious mistake in the design (coordination) of the insulation level of lines and substations. The author of this paper carried out research into the so-called anomalous characteristics of HV insulators of simple profiles (1998). Their main characteristics essentially, and sometimes extremely, differ from well-known characteristics in configuration, and quantitative parameters. The existence of the mentioned anomalies in common insulators with sheds (porcelain, glass and so on) also was demonstrated by the author. These anomalies are usually located in the region of probabilities considerably below achievable experimental probabilities. The paper continues the work of the previous publication and reports: the mechanism of occurrence of anomalous discharges in a compressed form; questions of insulation coordination in view of the observed effect; and new ways of designing high-voltage insulation of increased reliability.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

It has practical significance for engineers to deduce the failure location, property, and danger level from the partial discharge (PD) signals occurring in insulating gas dielectrics. Thus the signal detected and de-noise technique are obviously very important. The paper presents the basic principle and method for dealing with PD signals employing multiple wavelet transform methods. Practically, demonstrations show that the multiple wavelet transform is very useful and effective for extracting and recognizing PD pulse signals from the defects of high voltage apparatus on-line or off-line. It also makes certain that failures located in the GIS, GIC and GIT, can be precisely measured, located, predicted and monitored.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

At present, high-frequency working voltages exceeding 100 kHz are often used in low-voltage equipment and the frequencies are still increasing. Due to the switching in the power supplies, the voltage shapes are usually nonsinusoidal. The aspects of these nonsinusoidal voltages regarding the electrical stress are discussed by harmonic analysis. The difficulties of performing PD measurements at impulse voltages are shown and the alternative of measurements using sinusoidal voltages is discussed. Regarding the nonsinusoidal voltages and the increasing operating frequencies, test frequencies in the MHz range are of future interest. The requirements on the test equipment for these high-frequency tests are discussed. Finally, this paper describes how PD tests can be performed with respect to high-frequency stress and some examples are shown.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

The necessary interfacing electronics to minimize the 50 Hz and harmonics from the laboratory power supply is developed. Wavelet signal processing is used to recover the PD signal by eliminating the noises of many natures. Furthermore, different wavelet filters and windowing techniques are used to improve the efficiency of PD signal extraction. With the fabricated models to create only a type of discharge, the statistical characteristic of that type of discharge is identified.

When reduced to their lowest common denomination; the electrical apparatus structure and component design configurations become an expression of interdependent material generic properties; while assembly methodology and operating life cycle performance specifications are reduced to an expression of progressive sets of ambient exposures. This programmatic approach redefines electrical apparatus into a weighted matrix expression of: (1) design configuration constituent material generic properties and their requisite handling parameters; (2) design configuration requisite assembly processing parameters; (3) operating life cycle performance specifications; (4) known constituent material generic property degradation profiles; and (5) electrical apparatus root cause failure history. This matrix expression represents an alternative methodology that will facilitate the timely insertion of new materials into advanced systems and will predict the in-service operating performance of an electrical apparatus while greatly reducing the expense and reliance on full-scale modeling and prototype development.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

As many techniques have been developed for insulation assessment in the laboratory, it is important to understand some factors in hot-line measurement differing from those in the laboratory. Based on the purpose of using easily in hot-line condition, a model of a latent fault signal measurement system was constructed. In the experiment, the power voltage, the length of cable, and the resistance between metal shield of cable and ground are considered as important factors affecting measurement results. Through some investigations in laboratory, the influences of power voltage, length of cable, ground resistance on the fault signal are clearly shown. According to measurement results, some strategies for diagnosis and evaluation can be used to process the fault signals into standard values-and then the insulation state of cable can be predicted.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

This study covers results from the field measurements as well as from laboratory investigations. The turbo generator discussed in this paper showed an extra PD source at high temperature. This extra PD source was activated at high temperatures and vanished at lower temperatures. The activation and the de-activation process had a clear hysteresis character. Both the measurements on the turbo generator and in the laboratory showed that there is certain dependence between the internal PD and the actual temperature of the stator coil. Due to the fact that in practice the moment at which a periodic measurement is performed does not always represent the PD activity of a generator under all its operating conditions, it is of practical interest to investigate the dependences between the power, temperature and the actual PD activity. A full investigation into the relation between generator operating conditions and its PD activity is justified.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

The method has been tested in the laboratory as well as on a transformer in a test bay using an automated partial discharge evaluation based on the comparison of quasi-simultaneously detected PD patterns at different decoupling points. Therefore a multiple sensor system is placed on the surface of the transformer coil, thus PD signals can be measured at various sites along the winding before they are processed and compared. The described technique enables, besides a localization of the PD source, a determination of the apparent charge, which can be more accurate than conventional narrowband PD measurements via a quadripole in parallel. A discussion of the results leads therefore to a proposal about improvements concerning the calibration for actual PD routine tests on dry type transformers.","PeriodicalId":10532,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.
