Measurements of oil-free and oil-impregnated pressboard using interdigital sensors with changes in ambient moisture concentration are presented. A comparison between existing moisture equilibrium curves for the oil-paper system and experimental results is given.

The implosion time of the bubble becomes more important than those obtained in slightly viscous liquids.

The conductivity of the solution was varied from 5 to 10/sup 5/ /spl mu/S/cm and its temperature from 23 to 73/spl deg/C. The contact angle of a droplet of water on the polymer surface which gives a measure of the hydrophobicity was determined. The influence of applying either a radio frequency (RF) discharges or a high voltage dc stress on the loss and the recovery of the hydrophobicity was investigated. It is found that the contact angle decreased with increasing salinity level and increasing temperature of the solution. The time which it took for the surface energy and therefore, the hydrophobicity to drop depended on the combined stresses of salinity and heat. The contact angle decreased substantially after subjecting the surface to RF discharges and subsequently recovered very slowly after the removal of the stress. The increase in the weight and the surface roughness of the specimens due to absorption of the saline solution were also measured and correlated to the changes in the contact angle and thus to the hydrophobic property of the surface.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115842195","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 resulting distribution of the electric field inside the cable is highly dependent on, for instance loading of the cable and polarity reversals. This is because the conductivity of the insulation is dependent both on the temperature and on the electric field. An essential parameter in the process to determine the internal electric field is space charge. For a thorough understanding of the behavior of the cable, knowledge of the location and amount of space charge under different operating conditions is paramount.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130433542","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 typical PD pulse sequences from the tree channel in our experimental conditions showed that at most one PD pulse took place in a half cycle and that PD appeared in several consecutive cycles and then ceased for several cycles. In other words, there were PD pulse trains with discharge free intervals in between. There existed a strong correlation between positive and negative PD pulses occurring in two consecutive half cycles. PD pulses in a train had almost the same magnitude, though the average magnitude changed with time. In order to understand the condition for PD to cease, we investigated the polarity of the last pulse in each train. The last PD pulse tended to have the positive polarity. After a few hours of voltage application, a new tree channel was formed at the tip of the artificial tree channel. The last pulses in PD pulse trains after the formation of a new channel tended to have the negative polarity.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133867036","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}

Wave initiation by the more general potential-switching method has been explored since. We introduce here a second independent experimental scheme of triggering which can be effective if pre-charging has been by a corona source and if charging level is sufficiently moderate: By switch-reducing the point potential far enough to cause corona-cessation first and then mechanically but impulsively lower the point tip near to the surface of the oil film, sudden wave initiation is invariably encountered in the process when the separation setting is below a threshold. As to the resulting surface characteristics, all essential observations resemble those associated with waves produced with the first scheme except that in a typical event expansion would ultimately cease after initial front propagation. Thus, temporal disturbance affects a maximum but finite size domain only. In this report, details from representative triggering results are presented.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"85 10-11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133356035","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}

L2 was either completely segregated after isothermal crystallization or showed a limited degree of cocrystallization with the higher molar mass grade after rapid cooling from the melt. The mass crystallinity (w/sub c/) varied between 65 and 90% depending on the L2 content and the thermal pretreatment. w/sub c/ increased with increasing L2 content and was significantly higher for the isothermally crystallized samples.
