Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of the most important environmental factors that affects the degradation of Silicon Rubber (SiR) insulators. This paper presents the accelerated ageing records of a 20 kV SiR insulator in a chamber containing nine UVC lamps with intensity of 50 W/m2 for 65 days. Ageing process has been performed in order to analyze the effects of UV on the hydrophobicity and the surface leakage current level (LC) of SiR insulators. The results indicate that the variations of LC in clean insulator surface comparing with the insulators exposed to UV are negligible; however, UV has direct impact on the hydrophobicity of insulator surface. Solid layer pollution method is applied according to IEC60507 standard and quantitative comparisons are performed between the hydrophobicity of aged and clean insulator surfaces. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) method used to find the harmonic spectrum of the LC for three distinct cases: 1) without arc (nominal voltage), 2) in presence of dry band arcing and corona discharge and 3) continuous arc. In two latter cases, the level of 3rd harmonic component of leakage current waveform is closely related to the amount of pollution on the insulator surface.","PeriodicalId":129127,"journal":{"name":"2011 Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC).","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128559133","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 division into many strands increases flexibility, facilitating the processing of larger and special windings, and reduces high-frequency winding resistance, reducing losses. The use of litz wire, however, impacts the insulation system. The litz-wire profile locally enhances electric field strength, with implications for the mainwall and turn insulations. Conductor mica tape can provide appropriate turn insulation, but influences wire flexibility, coil consolidation, and finally resin penetration during impregnation. During vacuum-pressure impregnation, resin should penetrate both the region between turns and the litz wire itself, without draining during curing. This can impose new requirements on the impregnation process and on the choice of resin, which must deal with low pressure and lack of catalyst inside the litz wire. The paper reports on considerations and investigations of such aspects in real generator designs.","PeriodicalId":129127,"journal":{"name":"2011 Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC).","volume":"222 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134144898","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 ratio of the ESDD and NSDD of upper surface to that of lower surface is 0.76 and 0.46 separately. The structure and shape of polymeric insulators have influence on the pollution deposit levels and non-uniform degree. The dispersion of the pollution flashover voltage of naturally polluted composite insulators is great. Under the same condition, the pollution flashover voltage of naturally polluted composite insulators is higher about 50% than that of artificially polluted composite insulators.

The DC flashover voltage of porcelain insulators which was contaminated by Kaolin was much closed to Kieselgur, and the same as glass insulators. But the conclusion was quiet different for composite insulator. The flashover voltage of polymeric insulator contaminated by Kieselgur was larger about 14.7% than Kaolin under the same condition because of their significant difference of transfer characteristics. The reason of hydrophobicity migration difference of the two is revealed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), ASAP 2020 specific surface area and porosity analyzer, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrum (FTIR), respectively. The result shows that the hydroxyl (-OH) within Kaolin molecular is an important reason that cause hydrophobicity migration difference of Kieselgur and Kaolin, other than microphysics structure, specific surface area, total pore volume, average pore diameter.
