These procedures described can provide a useful tool for short-term evaluation of enameled wires, which can give indications also on long-term performance. Partial discharges and space charge accumulation seem to be significantly influenced by the supply voltage waveform features (frequency and shape), with an extent depending on the material itself. Moreover, partial discharge features, such as pulse height and inception voltage, depend considerably on space charge accumulation which may occur, e.g., with unipolar waveforms. Both techniques provide considerably different fingerprints of the two tested kinds of wires.","PeriodicalId":228071,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings: Electrical Insulation Conference and Electrical Manufacturing and Coil Winding Conference (Cat.

Whether the desired property values of these raw materials are realized and maintained, as a dielectric insulation, is the result of an interactive dependency between: (1) raw material sensitivity to processing variables during manufacture of the thermoset resin system; (2) the thermoset resin's key handling and processing parameters required to achieve optimum cured property performance; and (3) the suitability of the thermoset resin system's handling and processing parameters as a function of the electrical apparatus' design configuration and assembly methodology. This interactive dependency provides for the expression of dielectric insulation operating performance as a function, of electrical apparatus design configuration and manufacturing methodology.
