In this paper, the flow velocity distribution is experimentally obtained by a particle image velocimetry with image processing, where the measurement system takes sequential digital images of flow field illuminated by a laser light sheet for computed tomography. The results show that the electrohydrodynamic induced fluid flow direction on an electrode axis is not from needle electrode to plate electrode axis when needle electrode position above liquid layer. For the case of the needle electrode tip immersed into the dielectric liquid, it is well known that the dielectric liquid makes anticlockwise rotation by contraries. Hence, new approaches are required for the analyses of the present type electrohydrodynamic fluid motion. The mechanistic model based on interfacial momentum transfer effects on liquid-phase fluid motion is discussed in detail.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

Using a fast coaxial setup, the flashover phenomena of dielectric test samples (Lexan, Alumina) immersed in liquid nitrogen are measured with optical and electrical diagnostics with nanosecond time resolution. The flashover voltage reaches a maximum of 30 kV for a 1.75 mm gap after 3 shots, and averages to about 10 kV after conditioning. Three phases in the discharge development can be distinguished: Phase 1 is a rapid current rise to the mA-regime, with several current spikes with amplitudes of less than 5 mA and durations of typically 20 ns. This phase lasts up to several 100 ns. Phase 2 is characterized by a rapid ionization with a current rise to the impedance limited value of several 100 A of phase 3 in a few nanoseconds. Waveforms of the luminosity follow the ones of the current in general. The physical mechanisms leading to this development, and the difference to the flashover phenomena in vacuum, are discussed qualitatively.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

Analyzing these differences, additional information is gained regarding the space charge and polarization in such laminated structures. Likewise, space charge distributions in laminates are more reliable assessed this way.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

This paper studies the breakdown of SF/sub 6/-gas mixture (SF/sub 6/-air, SF/sub 6/-N/sub 2/ and SF/sub 6/-CO/sub 2/) in the presence of contaminating particles under applied DC voltage. The effect of particle dimensions on the breakdown voltage and so on the particle contamination factor (PCF) is presented in this work. The breakdown voltage-pressure characteristics for SF/sub 6/-gas mixture with different fractional concentration of SF/sub 6/ in mixture are carried out. Also, the particle contamination sensitivity is sought for different parameters and to obtain the optimum SF/sub 6/-gas mixtures for the case study. From this study it is concluded that some SF/sub 6/-gas mixture have breakdown gradients comparable to that of pure SF/sub 6/ and are less sensitive to the presence of strong localized fields.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

The data used in our analysis were simulated by a deterministic model proposed by Patsch and Hoof (1998). We demonstrate a dynamic system approach to the analysis of partial discharge data. In particular, we use time-delayed reconstruction of dynamics from a single observable scalar value. We calculate the dominant Lyapunov exponent for the three cases of PD sources. We conclude that the positive Lyapunov exponents obtained in our investigation indicate the possibility of chaotic behaviour. Finally, we address the essential problem of the state-space analysis from experimental PD data: Can the states be identified from the PD interval data? We demonstrate that the phase-space trajectory reconstructed from PD interval data (inter-spike intervals) reveals the deterministic character of the process and potentially can be used in PD identification.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

For positive impulses there is no influence of H in both maximum and minimum distances. If /spl delta/ decreased in general the impact points on the plane are more far away from the axis for negative polarity, if the gap distances are enlarged the influence of /spl delta/ is greater. For positive impulses the effect of /spl delta/ is not significant. This behavior is because H and oxygen (O/sub 2/) produce an inhibition in streamer propagation both in axial advance and in branching due to photon absorption.","PeriodicalId":267509,"journal":{"name":"1999 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.
