In order to determine the elastomer service lifetime in normal and accidental conditions, we have studied the effects of thermal and radiation stresses applied to these materials. After accelerated aging tests, the mechanical properties such as elongation at break and tensile strength allowed us to appreciate the material service lifetime according to IEC 544-2. The lifetime prediction of Ethylene Propylene Copolymer and Silicone in normal conditions was estimated by applying a kinetic model where the constant depends on the Arrhenius law for thermal aging and the dose rate for radiation aging.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"7 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":"133657998","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}

This paper gives an overview on different stress factors and relevant aging of the surface of solid insulation applied in different types of electrical power apparatus. Depending on the kind of insulation system, different stress factors are dominating and responsible for the degradation of the surface of the solid insulating material. The amount of permissible electrical stress on the surface of an insulating solid depends on the type of the surrounding gas medium and its pressure. Such gases are atmospheric air under outdoor or indoor conditions or SF/sub 6/ under low or high pressure. The paper explains the different mechanisms and stages of surface insulation aging at different applications in the electrical power apparatus field.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"341 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":"116556400","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 the dielectric breakdown test an automated system developed in this department was used. A voltage ramp of 500 V/sec was applied to specimens immersed in a silicon oil bath at room temperature. The results were analysed by the Weibull distribution. The shape and scale parameters of the Weibull distribution were calculated by Graphical and Maximum Likelihood methods and their values showed that titanium dioxide does not affect the breakdown voltage of HDPE and in order to obtain high dielectric strength insulation the carbon black level must be as low as possible.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"18 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":"125655807","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}

Capacitive couplers in conjunction with Partial Discharge Analyzers (PDA) can detect PD pulses from operating generators and motors without an interruption of machine operation. The capacitance of the couplers traditionally installed for PD detection on rotating machines has been 80 /spl rho/F. Recent research by Adwel International Ltd. has improved the PD detection obtained with capacitive couplers for some types of rotating machines. This paper begins with an introduction to on-line, or in-service, PD testing of large rotating machines. It includes some calculations and discussions on the frequency bandwidth to be used for in-service PD testing. In-service PD field test results taken from the same machine using both the traditional 80 /spl rho/F capacitive couplers and 500 /spl rho/F capacitive couplers are presented to show the increased effectiveness of higher capacitance couplers. PD field testing indicates that 500 /spl rho/F capacitive couplers have a higher sensitivity than 80 /spl rho/F capacitive couplers without introducing significant noise. They can be more suitable than 80 /spl rho/F capacitive couplers for PD measurements in smaller or lower-voltage rotating machines.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"25 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":"121147517","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}
