The electric field becomes high in the voids, and partial discharges (PDs) occur in such defects. Incidentally, the insulation material temperature varies with the status of load and the environmental condition. It is crucial to investigate PD activity at diffe re nt void te mpe rature and electric field. In this study, we carried out measurements of PDs in an artificial void of epoxy resin at various temperatures in the range of 30_50 degrees Celsius. The maximum electric fields in the void 1.5 mm in diameter were set at 4.6 kV/mm and 8.0 kV/mm. For a 4.6 kV/mm-void, the number of PDs was large at lower temperature at around 30 degrees Celsius. The number of PDs de cre ase d with the incre ase of the numbe r of te mpe rature-time cycles. The PD magnitude slightly incre ase d with the increase of temperature because the dielectric constant of epoxy resin might become high and the electric field in a void might become high. In contrast, the variation tendency of the number of PDs for an 8 kV/mm-void was much different from that for a 4.6 kV/mm-void. The number of PDs was large at around 50 degrees Celsius and in the middle of temperature rising from 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. Thus, we investigated that PD behavior during temperature-time cycles differs in electric field.","PeriodicalId":340602,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128934112","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 avoid subsequent short time in-service failures, it was necessary to limit the conditioning voltage to 0.5 per-unit. With this restriction, no conditioning related surge impedance anomalies were found in cable that subsequently was determined as containing substantial vented water trees. However, it was established that the measurement of leakage current at 0.5 per-unit negative polarity direct voltage did correlate with the magnitude of subsequent 0.1 Hz breakdown voltage. Beginning in 2014 Manitoba Hydro has been assessing service aged medium voltage XLPE cables using Tangent Delta measurements at 0.1 Hz voltages in accordance with IEEE Std 400.2. However, the notion that water tress can be detected and located as a result of conditioning with direct voltage is still of interest as is indicated by publications that have appeared in the literature in recent years, but the related conditioning utilizes direct voltages in excess of 0.5 per-unit.","PeriodicalId":340602,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124105053","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 devices used today to create pulse width modulation are Silicon (Si) IGBTs. The use of IGBTs enables to generate rising edges of tens of kV /µs, and to reach switching frequencies around 20 kHz. These improvements have helped to reduce switching losses and motor torque ripple. On the other hand, the reliability of motors has declined dramatically. The causes of motor failures may be due to different phenomena, but one of the main ageing mechanisms is the erosion of the different insulation materials induced by Partial Discharges (PD). For high voltage, high power and/or high frequency applications, silicon carbide (SiC) based components will in most of the case replace the current silicon-based components. If some works have already been achieved for on-line PD detection in low voltage motors fed by inverters using Si-IGBT technology, works are now needed when SiC-based components are used. For motors fed by low voltage, PDs mainly occur during the voltage edge. It is therefore necessary to discriminate them from the noise induced by switchings. The use of high pass filters proved its effectiveness for IGBTs but the use of SiC MOSFET will result in an increase of switching speed and consequently an increase of the noise frequency. For such conditions, it may be difficult to differentiate partial discharges from noise. This paper presents a study on the partial discharge inception voltage, on the ability to detect partial discharges and on the voltage stresses in motors supplied by SiC-MOSFET and Si-IGBT inverters. These results are discussed and possible strategies are proposed.","PeriodicalId":340602,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130426461","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 Q(t)-meter measures the change with time in integrated charge accumulated by a capacitor inserted between a DC high-voltage power supply and a sample of the insulation material under study. Q(t)-meter is suitable for the monitoring of time dependence of leakage current of the insulating sample under DC voltage. To demonstrate the performance of this new device, we evaluated the influence of generation and propagation of “electrical tree” in epoxy resin sample on DC leakage current. The electrical tree is a typical electrical degradation of polymeric materials. Hence, nondestructive diagnostic methods for electrical tree are expected. In this study, the electrical tree was generated in the epoxy resin by AC high voltage between two needle electrodes. The interelectrode distance was 2 mm. In the Q(t) measurement, the sampling frequency, total sampling time, DC applied time, and test voltages were 2 s, 600 s, 900 s, 250-1,000 V, respectively. We conducted Q(t) measurement at three stages of electrical treeing - before tree generation, after tree generation, and after tree propagation. It was found that the leakage current increased with increase in the tree length. A remarkable trend of steep rise and fall in the Q(t) curve was also observed. Experimental results obtained by the Q(t)-meter were analyzed assuming an “RC circuit model”.","PeriodicalId":340602,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126386806","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}

A module's partial degradation due to short-circuited elements can increase stresses on the insulation of those that remain, sometimes leading to cascading element failure.

The authors aim to develop enamelled wire that exceeds conventional resin insulation lifetime. Among nanocomposite materials, boehmite-based materials are reported to have a longer lifetime than silica-based materials, and they are expected as new insulating materials for enamel wire insulation layer. In this paper, we report on the effect of boehmite filler on dielectric properties and AC conductivity by acquiring complex permittivity and AC conductivity of a film sample with nano-boehmite alumina added to polyimide resin compared with those of samples with silica nano-fillers and without nano-fillers. As a result, it is suggested that the ionic carrier is more likely to move in the polyimide sample with AIOOH filler than in the neat sample in the high temperature region of 180 °C. From the above results, it is considered that the conductivity and the relative permittivity increase in the high temperature and low frequency region are due to the influence of crystal water of boehmite. In addition, measurements of life time of enamel twisted pair samples coated with polyimide filled with boehmite alumina nano-filliers were also made with comparison to that of samples without the boehmite alumina fillers.","PeriodicalId":340602,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Electrical Insulation Conference (EIC)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125502516","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}

Once the accuracy of the methodology was verified, it was used to modify the conductor bundle geometry of an HVDC line to maximize the corona onset voltage.
