The purpose of this study was to apply this analysis to the diagnosis of degradation by electrical treeing. The discharge magnitude and discharge luminous image were measured by the original measurement system to analyze discharge pulses and discharge luminescence at several phase angle areas of applied voltage. One cycle of applied voltage was divided into twenty areas, which were named /spl phi/ 1/spl sim//spl phi/ 20 in order from the negative peak point of applied ac voltage. Each phase angle area has informations of applied voltage that are instantaneous value, differential value of applied voltage (dv/dt) and the product of instantaneous value and dv/dt. The results of this analysis indicate that instantaneous value and dv/dt of applied voltage have a close relation with electrical treeing phenomena. Hence, we investigated the influence of instantaneous value and dv/dt of applied voltage upon electrical treeing phenomena.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"161 5 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":"129078169","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}

It is concluded that p/sub c/ is the second transition where a sharp increase in conductivity for CB loading becomes gradual. There are two components in ac loss current. One is a current which is independent of frequency and becomes prevalent especially in a region just below p/sub c/. This current shows a non-ohmic behavior. The other component is due to a dielectric loss current which may take place in tunneling gaps. These results support the conclusion that the electrical conduction mechanism below p/sub c/ is tunneling.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"10 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":"117045032","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}

In a fast coaxial setup, electrodes and dielectric sample are cooled to less than 100 K in vacuum, and the flashover initiation processes for gap distances on the order of 1 cm are characterized using fast electrical and optical diagnostics. As reported before, two development stages can be distinguished: a first phase with slowly rising current and the presence of free electrons, with a duration of 10-50 ns, and a second stage with a fast current rise due to gaseous ionization and collision dominated electrons. First experiments comparing cooled samples and samples at room temperature do not show discernible differences for Lexan. For Alumina, however, an increase of the duration of phase 1 is observed, with a higher current amplitude at the transition from phase one to phase two. Also, the current rise in phase two is reduced. These results indicate a temperature dependence of the electron induced outgassing process which is expected to cause the transition from phase one to phase two.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"8 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":"131904082","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}

Upon examination of the dielectric properties, it was found that synthetic rain caused a significant change in the loss tangent.

A qualitative comparison of the degradation caused by these parameters has been made by accelerated ageing tests using different temperatures and voltages. The electrode system applied in the tests contained a flat cylindrical void with epoxy on one side and a stainless steel electrode on the other side. The surface degradation was examined by light-microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The intention of the study was to look for characteristic features of the surface degradation, primarily of the epoxy, at the different ageing levels. Comparison of the aged void surfaces was performed at different ageing times. The results show that the deterioration patterns of the epoxy surface obtained at different ageing temperatures are clearly distinguishable. Typically, the deterioration pattern at room temperature was diffuse, while at 50/spl deg/C the surface exhibited a variegated and distinct pattern. The deterioration was hardly visible in case of 80/spl deg/C, the glass transition temperature of the epoxy specimen. The results add knowledge to the different modes of pd-erosion resulting from synergy with temperature.","PeriodicalId":176239,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1997 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"59 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":"126685275","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}

Both tests are shown to be complementary in their prediction of the performance of the selected water tree resistant materials.
