High direct-voltage ramp tests were used on four occasions to: ldr Identify stator coils needing replacement ldr Determine adequacy of hot air drying ldr Determine adequacy of drying under short circuit conditions ldr Monitor subsequent improvement in service The objective was to return the unit to service as quickly as possible in the expectation that the condition of the groundwall insulation would continue to improve. To date this approach has been successful.","PeriodicalId":152045,"journal":{"name":"2007 Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing Expo","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127439111","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 failure mechanism in random wound stators is generally thermal. Form wound stators fail through dielectric loss-induced heating, rapid deterioration of stress control coatings and partial discharge (PD). The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has developed two new documents to provide guidance on qualification of stator insulation systems subject to voltage surges from PWM drives. IEC 60034-18-41 discusses the qualification and acceptance tests for random windings not expected to see PD during normal operation; it was published in 2006. IEC 60034-8-42 covers form-wound stators, whose insulation design is expected to withstand PD in operation. The latter document is still under development and near completion. This paper describes the main features of one of the most important new machine insulation standards to be issued in many years.","PeriodicalId":152045,"journal":{"name":"2007 Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing Expo","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115090878","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 example, the crystallinity of polyethylene is significantly controlled by the molecular architecture. Metallocene linear low density polyethylene features unique characteristics of a narrow molecular weight distribution and uniform composition distribution. In order to investigate the influence of polymer structure on the crosslinking and electrical properties of polyethylene, metallocene linear low density polyethylene samples with different degrees of short chain branching groups are evaluated. The cure behavior is studied through the rate of organic peroxide decomposition in a moving die rheometer, followed by cure kinetics analysis. The dielectric properties are studied as a function of degree of crystallinity, which is originated from the content of short chain branching in metallocene linear low density polyethylene.","PeriodicalId":152045,"journal":{"name":"2007 Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing Expo","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131166526","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 factual protecting effects of the two protection techniques were compared, discussed and analyzed in this paper based on their practical experiences including reliability, efficiency and safety. The research results approved that the number of line switch off and conductor melted down when lighting striking on the line was decreased greatly after these over-head insulated power lines installed with these over-voltage protecting equipments.

Reliable machine design calls for accurate prediction of voltage distribution under various system variables such as inverter pulse rise time, cable and winding parameters. Significant efforts around the world have been made in the past to predict the over-voltages and volt- distribution across the winding. All the reported models display a linear voltage distribution whilst the experimental results often exhibit non-linear voltage distribution, particularly in 3-phase system. In the present paper, a 3-phase distributed model that constitutes (i) R, L and C of winding and cables, (ii) couplings associated with windings and cables and (iii) independent representation of slot and over hang portion is simulated systematically. The results obtained through the present circuit model are found to match well with the experiments. The nonlinear voltage distribution and negative hump in coil waveform is captured first time and the results are discussed in relation to coupling parameters.","PeriodicalId":152045,"journal":{"name":"2007 Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing Expo","volume":"274 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128936642","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 test conditions for thermal impact damage are simulated according to the characteristics of natural forest fire. The test pieces are suspension porcelain insulators made by KRI in 2005 for transmission lines. In the thermal impact cycle tests with 300degC thermal impact gradient (-70 to 230degC), cycling in 10 minute periods, no critical failures occurred in the test samples even with long cycle times. But in tests with thermal impact gradient from room temperature to 200-600degC, cycling in 10 to 30 minute periods, there were critical failures of the porcelain insulators according to the thermal impact gradient and quenching method. In the case of thermal impact by forest fire, it was found of that duration time is more important than the cycling time, and the initiation temperature of porcelain insulator failures is about 300degC, in the case of water quenching, many cracks and fracture of the porcelain occurred. It was found that the thermal impact failure is closely related to the displacement in the cement by thermal stress as confirmed by simulation. It was estimated that the initiation displacement by the thermal impact of 300degC is about 0.1%. Above 1% displacement, it is expected that the most porcelain insulators would fail.","PeriodicalId":152045,"journal":{"name":"2007 Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing Expo","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131245036","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}
