Incomplete understanding of failure mechanisms and the effect of the many different in-service environmental factors, possible interactions between these factors, and the widely scattered nature of dielectric phenomena contribute to the uncertainties. In this laboratory investigation of the effects of water, water temperature, air temperature, voltage impulses, current loading and their interactions on a shielded 5 kV ethylene propylene rubber (EP) insulated power cable, water and water temperature were found to have the largest effect on dielectric strength. When aged in air for 3 years at 4.5 times rated voltage (the least harmful condition found in the experiment) the average dielectric strength declined to 92% of the original value, however this decline is not statistically significant. When aged in 35°C water for 3 years at 4.5 times rated voltage (the most harmful condition found in the experiment) the dielectric strength declined to 21% of the original value.","PeriodicalId":113059,"journal":{"name":"1980 IEEE International Conference on Electrical Insulation","volume":"157 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132435555","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}

The primary emphasis is on paper interfaces in transformer oil and studies are performed using impulse and using 60 Hz waveforms. The interfaces are parallel to the electric field. Several cylindrically-symmetric electrode geometries are employed ranging from plane-plane to sphere-sphere. The electrode system is split along the symmetry axis to hold the paper parallel to the field. Among the conclusions drawn from this study are the following: First, the breakdown frequently occurs at positions other than the interface for both impulse and 60 Hz waveforms. Second, no significant difference is identified between the breakdown voltage with or without an interface in the system or between the breakdown voltage when a breakdown occurs at an interface and when it does not.","PeriodicalId":113059,"journal":{"name":"1980 IEEE International Conference on Electrical Insulation","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115819525","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}

In consideration of experimental results of the relation between the electrical condensation of water and the generation of bow-tie trees, a generation mechanism of bow-tie trees is proposed. It is expected by the mechanism that the improvement of wettability of the materials may inhibit the generation of bow-tie trees. This consideration introduces new additives. The effect of the additives is examined by slub tests and cable tests. In conclusion, the additives decrease the generation number of bow-tie trees, shorten the lengths, and also suppress the change of the number and the lengths with aging time.","PeriodicalId":113059,"journal":{"name":"1980 IEEE International Conference on Electrical Insulation","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115312044","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}

Oxidation stability tests of the oil specimens, tube aging tests of Kraft paper/oil electrical insulation systems for oil-filled transformer use and accelerated aging tests of the distribution transformers consisting mainly of the same electrical insulation systems were carried out and their test results were compared with those obtained by use of an actually used, naphthenic mineral oil for oil-filled transformers. It has been pointed out that blending the alkylbenzenes in a paraffinic base oil improves its pour point, gassing tendency and oxidation stability to some extent. As a result of the tube aging tests conducted in a closed nitrogen gas atmosphere it has been clarified that blending the alkylbenzene in a paraffinic base oil improves the degree of deterioration of the Kraft paper, although the paraffinic base oil appears more stable than the alkylbenzene blended one because of having difficult access to oxygen. Moreover, judging from the results of the accelerated heat-aging tests for the distribution transformers, it has been demonstrated that the dissipation factor of the alkylbenzene blended paraffinic oil increases less than that of the pure one along with the aging period, and that this tendency is definitely delineated by the aid of the relationship between the dissipation factor and the neutralization value of the oil specimens. Thus, it has been concluded-that the alkylbenzene blended paraffinic oil is considered an transformer oil equivalent to an actually used, naphthenic mineral oil.","PeriodicalId":113059,"journal":{"name":"1980 IEEE International Conference on Electrical Insulation","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121881916","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}

Comparisons were made with two adhesives — a high strength Class H epoxy and a medium-strength Class F polyester. Test samples were made for shear, flexural and tensile strength. Only the shear data had any significance. A typical shear sample was a 2 wire by 3 wire rectangle 3 inches long of #5 square wire. The compressive force measured was that to push the center 2 wires out of the array at an elevated temperature of 180°C. A Lucas Tester at .200 in./min. was used. The elevated temperature is a simulation of the actual maximum operational regime of a wire-wound field coil. The samples were aged for 2499 hours at 220°C which is approximately equivalent to 30,000 hours at 180°C and 170,000 hours at 155°C. It was found that with polyester the sdg-he insulation was considerably stronger than ddg-he material. With epoxy the wire insulations showed rough equality while continuously gaining in strength. sdg-he insulation was adopted as the standard pole wire.","PeriodicalId":113059,"journal":{"name":"1980 IEEE International Conference on Electrical Insulation","volume":"164 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127018310","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}

It was suggested many years ago that it might be advantageous to use some of these gases in mixtures rather than alone, and hence to find a mixture superior to SF6 in cost, electric strength, low-temperature performance or immunity to particle or electrode surface roughness effects. This paper notes that in general the saturated vapor pressure of a mixture of gases is less than the sum of the saturated vapor pressure of the component gases; and the deficiency is large if the range of boiling points of the component gases is large. The physical basis of this effect is discussed, and we calculate the range of compositions of a number of binary and ternary SF6 mixtures at 0.44 MPa and 25°C which also do not exhibit condensation at 0°C, or at −30°C. We have also measured and reported here 60 Hz breakdown strengths of these limiting and other mixtures.
