Partial discharge (PD) measurement is an effective tool to study the condition of the insulation. Reliability of PD diagnosis depends on the accurate interpretation of the measured PD signals. PD itself is a complex phenomenon and the presence of different types of discharge sources makes interpretation of the PD data quite challenging. This paper investigates internal and corona PDs in order to distinguish them when both are active simultaneously. The presented work identifies the PD sources based on time domain analysis that provides a simplified solution as compared to identification techniques based on different statistical features leading to complex data processing. While superimposed phase-resolved partial discharge (PRPD) patterns provided incomplete information, time domain PD characteristics e.g. pulse repetition rate and pulse amplitude combined with PRPD mapping are analyzed to differentiate PD activity. Furthermore, the electrical stress (voltage level) is increased gradually in the experiments made and PD behavior is studied. The presented technique contributes to enhancing the accuracy of PD diagnosis that is necessary for appropriate decision making concerning the repair of affected components.","PeriodicalId":286019,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131568655","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}

The formation of active substances in water is closely related to the formation characteristics of discharge channels in the process of pulse discharge, as a result of which it is of great importance to study the characteristics of discharge channels in water for further development of high voltage pulse discharge technology. In this study, pulsed voltage produced by Marx pulse generator with frequency set to be 1Hz is applied for analyze characteristics of discharge channels induced by pulsed discharge in water. With the increase of voltage amplitude, transition of discharge mode from streamer discharge to spark breakdown is realized. Based on the fundamental results of discharge channels, preliminary experiments of its application in solar panel recycling are performed, which show that high voltage fragmentation is an effective method to deal with solar panels and the optimal parameter is 193J/g imported in this research. Circular holes and dendritic discharge channels are formed on the surface of the back sheets, and the ablation on the surface of the back plates shows a rugged pore structure on the micro level.

As an important part of composite insulator, glass fiber reinforced polymer rod needs to bear the main mechanical load and is also the key to insulation performance. In recent years, although the brittle fracture of rod has been effectively solved, the abnormal temperature rise and decay-like fracture caused by rod defects still affect the safe operation of transmission lines seriously. In this paper, the microstructure of the rod is studied by improved dye penetration test and three-dimensional scanning, and the influence of microstructure difference is studied by water absorption and loss power experiments. The results show that moisture penetration caused by large porosity and penetration channel is the key factor to increase the loss power of rod. By improving the performance requirements of rod, the heating and decay-like fracture of composite insulator could be avoided to some extent.","PeriodicalId":286019,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126804301","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}

The use of insulating material in cable interconnections different from that of the cable insulation results in dielectric/dielectric interface in the cable joint. Under DC stress, the field distribution in the multi-dielectrics depends on the differences in material constitutive parameters, conductivity and permittivity, and the field profile is complex and difficult to predict under thermal gradient. In this paper, the field distribution in two dielectric bilayer of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE)/silicon rubber (SiR) and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR)/SiR, as representative of cable joints, have been studied to provide guidance for the safe design and optimization of HVDC joints. The results show that compared with XLPE/SiR, the EPR/SiR sample has better performance with less space charge injection and less electric field distortion. This is because of closer constitutive material parameters and lower space charge accumulation of EPR under DC electric field. The content of this paper can be helpful to explain the interface charging property of multi-dielectrics and further provides significant importance to the selection of materials in developing of HVDC cables.","PeriodicalId":286019,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126925091","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}

The shape of the breaking arc was taken using a high-speed camera, and the electromagnetic wave radiated during the opening process was measured.

One of the major application characteristics of the enamel coating is its thermal endurance as it relates to the long term temperatures of the transformer windings. There are standards developed for the thermal evaluation of systems that combine transformer liquid and solid insulation materials, simulating the transformer insulating systems. The so-called sealed tube accelerated aging test is the method that is used most often. However, even though conductor materials are used as a part of the system in those evaluations, a review of available information confirmed that there is no standardized aging test method for the enamel coating itself (in systems with liquids) available. This paper proposes and describes a new method for accelerated aging testing and thermal endurance qualification of enameled wires for liquid-immersed transformers. The test set-up, test procedure and results evaluation methods are described in detail. The feasibility, applicability and accuracy of the proposed test is verified by aging experiments and the results are presented.","PeriodicalId":286019,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125506903","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}
