All the test samples were subjected to a voltage step applied to parallel plane electrodes. Two of the test liquids were sampled from in-service transformers. The magnitude of change in the current in transformer oils after filtration (0.45 mu m) was three to five times larger than the change caused by the addition of conducting particles. The transformer oil aged in service for longer duration showed higher EHD current and flow which were associated with higher particulate concentration and conductivity. The measurement of AC breakdown strength was less reflective of the extent of oil degradation as compared to transient current response. The space charge density variation that causes EHD instability in insulating oils depends on both suspended and dissolved impurities.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":10719,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena,","volume":"35 1","pages":"338-345"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79164973","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}

For a successful calibration the reference charge samples should provide a well-defined charge, including location, distribution, and magnitude (and sign). Although these parts of the calibration may be accomplished with different samples, it is preferable for simplicity and accuracy to include these in a single sample. The e-beam implanted charge distributions have been found to achieve the needed reference charge characteristics. Specifically, it was demonstrated that e-beam implantation of charges in charge-retaining plastics, such as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), provides a useful reference for the purpose of calibrating charge measurement instruments.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":10719,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena,","volume":"28 1","pages":"435-441"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76233179","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}

By choosing a suitable frequency, the peak time on the tan delta -T spectroscopy is made equal to the gel time.

In addition, it was hoped that the impulse data on the oils could be correlated with those of the corresponding oil-paper composites, thus providing an effective tool for predicting cable performance in actual service conditions. The needle-to-sphere impulse breakdown appears to show some dependence on differences in oil composition.

The amplitude of the AC optical signal was proportional to the local electric field and was measured with a lock-in amplifier. For 6330-nm-wavelength light the Kerr constant was measured to be B approximately=10/sup -16/ m/V/sup 2/. Steady-state electric fields between parallel stainless steel electrodes of gap 7 mm and area 31.6 cm/sup 2/ were shown to be essentially uniform for field strengths up to 90 kV/cm with no significant space charge distortion.

However, in order to satisfy the easy installation requirement, the filler concentration is usually lower than that used for outdoor polymer insulators. The reduced filler loadings have caused premature failures in certain laboratory tests, but the same terminations have been successfully used in the field for over 20 years. In order to determine the factors of this discrepancy, a systematic evaluation in a fog chamber was performed, where the experimental conditions were varied over a wide range. Changes occurring in the polymer were monitored periodically using electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis. It is demonstrated that the experimental conditions play a significant role in the accelerated aging of silicone rubber terminations. Good correlation with experience in the field is obtained when the test parameters allow the material to recover its hydrophobicity.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":10719,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena,","volume":"83 1","pages":"155-160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88906986","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}
