In this article, based on a 2-D fluid model, we investigated the validity of similarity laws for streamer propagation in combined air gaps, which have a floating metal structure between the high voltage and ground electrodes. The dynamic similarities of high-pressure streamer propagation inside combined air gaps are demonstrated by keeping the product of geometrical length and gas pressure constant in the original and downscaled gaps. The streamer propagation represented by the electron source term and the streamer velocity in single and combined gaps are obtained and compared, which also confirms the influence of floating metal on streamer characteristics. Temporal behaviors of the streamer propagation represented by the electron density distributions are found to be rather the same, which validates the dynamic streamer similarity. In addition, the simulation results show that similarity properties could be undermined by the photoionization effect whereas its impact can be excluded if the quenching pressure of the photoionization source term is linearized. By further excluding the nonlinear processes, such as the three-body electron attachment process, similarity laws are more rigorously verified. The results from this study confirm the applicability of similarity laws for streamer discharge in combined air gaps under designed conditions, which are beneficial for the exploration and conduction of downscaled aircraft ground tests for simulating lightning strike effects.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 2","pages":"1017-1026"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142212992","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}

PD current forms were observed over polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) films, widely used as insulating films. The PD current waveforms over PI, PET, and PEN films exhibited approximately 5 ns peak time for both positive and negative pulses, with a pulsewidth time at half height of the peak value ranging from about 5–15 ns. These times vary depending on the material kind and discharge gap length. The frequency dependence of those times showed little change over applied voltage frequencies.

The results show that the introduction of DCBP reduces the density of deep trap, increases the density of shallow trap and the degree of crosslinking, is more conducive to the detrapping and migration of charge, and accelerates the attenuation of the surface potential of the composite. Under the condition of sinusoidal voltage of 7 kV and frequency of 10 kHz, the composite material can effectively inhibit the development of the along-surface discharge compared with PSG, and the total discharge times are reduced by 65.08%, 48.71%, and 18.27%, respectively. The total discharge range decreases by 69.15%, 62.87%, and 22.88%, and the average discharge range decreases by 25.61%, 27.63%, and 5.64%, respectively. The release of ultraviolet energy during along-surface discharge excites DCBP to a triplet state, promotes the improvement of crosslinking degree and the generation of new re-crosslinking products, prevents the growth of local low-density insulation region, and further inhibits the occurrence of the along-surface discharge, which enhances the insulation performance of the composite.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 2","pages":"823-832"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142212871","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}

Furthermore, a transient model for acoustic wave propagation in a multilayer power cable is established. Numerical analysis with finite element analysis is conducted to analyze the effects of different discharge magnitudes under the same cavity height and different cavity heights under the same discharge magnitude on the acoustic waves at the surface of the power cable. The simulation reveals that higher discharge magnitude results in greater intensity of the acoustic wave and longer cavities result in lower acoustic frequencies. Ultimately, a series of validation experiments are implemented to acquire the statistical acoustic characteristics.

High-frequency and high-voltage conditions increase the risk of surface discharge, posing a significant threat to the normal operation of high-voltage equipment. The existing insulation designs often refer to power frequency test results under low-pressure conditions, which often lead to insulation failures. Previous research has primarily focused on the effects of power frequency or voltage below 2 kHz on insulation characteristics at atmospheric pressure. In this work, we have built an insulation test platform to conduct surface discharge experiments at both power frequency and VLF. The pressure range is 20–60 kPa. The surface discharge inception voltage (SDIV) and breakdown voltage (BDV) of epoxy resin and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) boards are investigated under highly nonuniform fields. The experimental results show that the SDIV of epoxy resin under VLF voltage is lower than that at 50 Hz, while PTFE exhibits a similar SDIV under different frequencies. Both insulation materials exhibit significantly lower BDV at VLF compared to those at 50 Hz. As the pressure decreases, both the SDIV and BDV decrease. Furthermore, we have analyzed how pressure and frequency affect surface discharge in insulation boards by means of the equivalent capacitance-resistance model and ion transport model. This study provides a reference for the insulation design of high-voltage power supplies for VLF communication equipment under low-pressure conditions.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 2","pages":"833-840"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142212874","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}

Roof insulator is exposed to strong wind and sand environment for a long time. A large amount of sand will be deposited on the surface, resulting in a reduction of insulation strength along the insulator surface and a gap between the sheds. Also, affected by the abrasive action of sand, the roof insulator surface hydrophobicity decreases, which is easy to trigger the insulator flashover, threatening the safety of train operation. For this purpose, this article reviews the sand charging mechanism, sand accumulation characteristics, surface discharge characteristics, air-gap breakdown characteristics, flashover characteristics of the insulator, and the effects of surface abrasion on the insulation performance in wind and sand environment. Based on the train operating conditions, future research directions are proposed to be carried out. First, it is necessary to study the sand accumulation characteristics of roof insulators under multifactor coupling and establish a simulation model that reflects the distribution and content of sand. Secondly, it is necessary to carry out research on the flashover characteristics of real roof insulators and higher speed wind and sand environments, and to build the quantitative relationship between wind speed, sand particle size, sand concentration and the gap breakdown voltage. Finally, a method to evaluate the abrasion state of insulator surfaces needs to be proposed, as well as to explore new materials and structures for roof insulators in strong wind and sand environment.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"31 6","pages":"3231-3242"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142212875","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}
