A differential high-frequency current transformer (HFCT) was employed on the high-voltage coils to measure PD pulses induced by impulse voltages. Additionally, PD measurement at ac voltage was carried out to characterize the aging process resulting from the application of bipolar impulses. Experimental findings indicated that higher-level bipolar impulses could cause large-amplitude PDs in the windings, occurring at the peak value of the applied impulse voltages and increasing with the number of applied impulses. PD inception voltage (PDIV) at ac voltage decreased to the operating voltage, and the discharge amplitude and phasewidth in phase-resolved PD (PRPD) patterns increased due to impulse PD occurrences. Considering these results, it is evident that the bipolar lightning impulses could cause large-amplitude PDs, intensify impulse PD activity, and ultimately lead to dielectric breakdown in the CRTr windings. Space charge accumulation and residual charge deposition resulting from impulse PD play a significant role in the generation and the process of development for impulse PDs in the winding insulation, contributing to an acceleration effect in the degradation process and eventual insulation failure.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"31 6","pages":"3489-3496"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interelectrode region, where single helium bubbles floated, was exposed to X-ray pulses. In the absence of absorbing lead screens, radiation initiates PD in all bubbles in which the conditions for PD inception according to Paschen’s law are met. The number of PDs was significantly reduced in the presence of screens with a thickness of 2–5 mm. The dependences of the probability of PD occurrence at various voltages and screen thicknesses were determined and analyzed. It is shown that the initiating electron appears predominantly as a result of the ionization of liquid atoms located near the surface layer of the bubble.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 1","pages":"428-434"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143106369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work focuses on the conductivity characteristics during the thermal cycle by leakage current measurement and demonstrates that the multiple energy levels traps play an important role in conductivity by the thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) measurements. The results show that the current has a nonmonotonic temperature dependence with polar peaks and decreases periodically during the 5 K/min thermal cycle. After 24 thermal cycles, there is a 77.3% reduction in conductivity at 343 K and a 54.0% reduction compared with the 343 K steady-state temperature.

This article first analyzes the relationship between the electrical parameters of the buffer layer and the characteristic impedance of the cable. Subsequently, the electrical parameters were tested for buffer layer samples at different degrees of moisture, and the characteristic impedance of the cable was calculated. The results indicate that the characteristic impedance of the cable decreases after moisture exposure primarily due to a significant increase in the dielectric constant of the buffer layer. As the degree of moisture increases, the characteristic impedance gradually decreases until it becomes stable. This is mainly due to its rate of change being inversely related to the square of the dielectric constant of the buffer layer. This provides a theoretical basis for the implementation of the FDR method. Finally, this article conducted FDR tests on HV cables with different degrees of moisture, demonstrating that the FDR method can effectively locate buffer layer moisture defects.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"31 6","pages":"3322-3330"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the unique feature of the self-healing discharge, MFCs can clear internal defects and maintain operation stability. However, self-healing discharge can cause continuous aging of MFCs due to the accumulation of electrode area loss. Although electrical parameters are sufficiently investigated to monitor the operating states of MFCs, the correlation between discharge characteristics and aging states remains unclear based on these parameters. To address this issue, this article provides a novel perspective by proposing a discharge monitoring and aging assessment method based on the acoustic signal. First, an accelerated aging platform is established to obtain MFC samples in different aging degrees. Then, the acoustic signal and the pulse current signal of MFC samples are detected to demonstrate the feasibility of using acoustic signals as characteristic parameters. Furthermore, the processed discharge data are subject to cluster analysis to investigate the relationship between discharge statistic characteristics and the aging states of MFCs. The results indicate that the aging states of MFCs can be assessed using the frequency spectrum characteristics and the cluster ratio of acoustic signals, guiding future research on the monitoring methods of MFCs using nonelectrical parameters.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 1","pages":"11-19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
