We modelize the heterogeneous insulator of the cable using finite difference method. The numerical treatment is carried out in bidimensional due to the observed symmetry in the cavities. We simulate regions of weak concentration to an insulator containing one cavity, this is justified by the absence of interactions between cavities. The regions of great concentrations are simulated to an insulator, which contain two cavities in mutual interactions. Once the two cavities are in contact, we speak then of a complex defect called \"bi-vacuole\". The physical proprieties two simulate are the electrical field and the temperature. We present the results of computation obtained by an established program, this result show that the partial discharge is occurred in cavities of small diameters in regions either near the core or the wrapping. The mutual interaction between cavities contributes much the apparition of the partial discharges.","PeriodicalId":306575,"journal":{"name":"2003 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128338470","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 order to make the system compact and its layout flexible, it is required to develop a compact connection system with solid insulating materials. Hard and soft insulating materials are to be used for this connection system. Therefore, there is a concern about air penetration into their interface at the time of connection, which reduces the insulation performance. In order to simulate this situation, a model connection part was made using an epoxy resin board as the hard material and a silicone rubber board as the soft material with a spacer inserted into their interface. The present paper reports experimental results on the breakdown strength under ac and impulse voltages. It is confirmed that the insulation performance decreases with an increase in the thickness of the air layer between the two boards.","PeriodicalId":306575,"journal":{"name":"2003 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114107647","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 has not been clear whether the crosslinking byproducts or the crosslinked polymer morphology is responsible for the space charge formation. In order to clarify this point, additive-free low-density polyethylene, crosslinked polyethylene, and degassed crosslinked polyethylene were soaked in cumyl alcohol arid the space charge distribution was measured under dc voltage application. Specimens tested are divided into two categories. The first category is a soaked single-layered sheet and the second category, is a two-layered specimen consisting of a soaked sheet and a non-soaked sheet. As a result, the following conclusions were obtained. (1) The crosslinked structure has no effect on homo-charge layers. (2) Cumyl alcohol is responsible for traps in both cases of low-density and crosslinked polyethylene. Due to these traps, a homo-charge layer appears in front of each electrode in the single-layered sheet or on the surface of the soaked sheet facing the opposite electrode in the two-layered sample. (3) More space charge is trapped in crosslinked polyethylene than low-density polyethylene, probably because of the presence of carbonyl groups.","PeriodicalId":306575,"journal":{"name":"2003 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131357442","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}

Current measurements cover the range from 10/sup -1/ A to 1 kA, with temporal resolutions of milliseconds at the lowest current amplitudes to sub-nanoseconds for currents larger than 10/sup -4/ A. The dc current/voltage characteristic for sub-breakdown voltage amplitudes point to the injection of charge carriers, allow us to characterize the transport mechanisms, and the influence of space charges. For voltages approaching breakdown thresholds, quasi dc-currents rising from nanoamperes to microamperes are superimposed by current pulses with amplitudes of milliamperes and above, and durations of nanoseconds. The onset of these current pulses occurs up to 10 /spl mu/s before breakdown. One of these current pulses reaches a critical amplitude causing voltage breakdown and current rise to the impedance-limited value within 2 ns. Additional optical diagnostics using photomultipliers and high-speed photography with gated microchannel plates yield information on hydrodynamic processes and charge carrier amplification mechanisms associated with the current pulses and final breakdown, such as bubble formation, as well as on the development of the spark plasma finally bridging the gap.","PeriodicalId":306575,"journal":{"name":"2003 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132636925","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}

Exploiting the characteristics of the noise, the audible discharge noise was successfully detected with the developed instrument for the study to the next step. The measured sound data were examined for various annoyance levels. It was found that the shape of the distribution of the amplitude histogram differs according to the annoyance level, which was explained by the difference of discharge phenomena with the observations on the sites. Therefore, the statistical properties of Skewness and Kurtosis have been adopted to classify the annoyance levels. The values of these properties and the suitable time span of the calculation for the classifying have been discussed.","PeriodicalId":306575,"journal":{"name":"2003 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125103939","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}
