Certain samples were cut in the radial direction R, others in the longitudinal and tangential direction L and T with respect to the cable extrusion axis. Point plane geometry specimens were obtained inserting 5 /spl mu/m tip radius needles into such samples by means of a special hot moulding process. As the adhesion between needle tip and EPR compound could influence the final treeing tests results, the needle insertion procedure and the hot moulding process were optimised. The average Tree Inception Voltage (TIV) and the average Breakdown Voltage (BDV) were measured, during AC ramp voltage tests, for each of the three types of specimens. Finally the Time-to-breakdown (Tbd) was recorded during 15 kV AC constant voltage tests, in the three cases. The overall results (BDV and Tbd) clearly indicate that R specimens offer a \"resistance\" to treeing growth higher than L ones, while the T specimens behaviour is in between. Therefore it is concluded that, in the bulk of the investigated cable insulation, a significant anisotropy exists. The potential of the above outcome (data and testing procedures) for improving the overall design and/or the manufacturing process of extruded cables for energy transmission applications is recalled.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

Since the system voltage may contain harmonics, principally the third, researchers have developed a technique to account for the third harmonic component of capacitive current in deriving the resistive third harmonic current from the leakage current. However, the influence of voltage harmonics on the magnitude of the resistive current has not been considered which aspect is explored in this paper. It is shown that even nominal amounts of the third, fifth, seventh and eleventh system voltage harmonics have considerable influence on the third harmonic component of arrester resistive current. In fact the third harmonic resistive current of an aged MOSA under sinusoidal voltage is comparable to that obtained with an unaged MOSA subjected to harmonic contaminated voltage.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

The origin of this charge layer, which is insensitive to applied voltages, is believed to be environmental electrochemistry involving moisture, but other mechanisms are possible. Under an applied voltage, additional charge is observed to penetrate the dielectric deeper in the bulk, consistent with injection from the substrate. Separate analysis of the two contributions to the thermal pulse signals yields both bulk and near-surface thermal properties. Preliminary measurements acid analysis suggest that the near-surface diffusivity is a factor of two smaller than the bulk value.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

In order to determine the movement of a particle in a GIB, an inner electrode diameter of 55 mm and outer enclosure diameter of 152 mm was considered. Aluminium and copper wires of 0.5 mm/10 mm were considered to be present on the enclosure surface. The motion of the wire (particle) was simulated using the charge acquired by the particles, the macroscopic field at the particle site, the drag coefficient, Reynold's number and coefficient of restitution. The distance travelled by the particle, calculated using the appropriate equations, is found to be in good agreement with the published work for a given set of parameters. The results are also presented for other set of parameters. In order to determine the random behaviour of moving particles, the calculation of movement in axial and radial directions was done at every time step using rectangular random numbers. Typically for Aluminium wire for a bus duct voltage of 100 kV RMS, the movement of the particle (0.5 mm/10 mm) for 2 sec was computed to be 26.02 mm in axial and 1002.3 mm in radial directions. Similar calculation is extended for a typical 220 kV (RMS) Gas Insulated Busduct.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

Fluids, vol. 6, 2676 (1994)], the authors derived four 1-D models (Lee, Cosserat, averaged, and parabolic models) for slender axisymmetric liquid jets from the Navier-Stokes equations. The error of these 1-D models was calculated for small perturbations, in the absence of electric field. Here, we extend the linear error analysis to both perfectly insulating liquid jets in a tangential electric field and perfectly conducting liquid jets in a radial electric field. The accuracy of these models for studying the breakup, when nonlinear effects are no longer negligible, is also tested in the absence of electric field. A comparison of numerical 3-D solutions with results from 1-D models is made. A formulation of the energy conservation in 1-D models allows identifying and correcting a numerical instability of the averaged model near the breakup. It also explains why the Cosserat model overestimates the breakup time for moderate or large viscosity. Good agreement between 1-D and 3-D numerical results is found.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.
