The generated shock wave by the plasma explosion will spread out to arbitrary directions. By using a mechanical binding device or an electromagnetic binding set, the explosion process can show a propulsion effect in a presented direction. In the experiment, steel wires with different diameters and lengths are used as conductive metal load in plasma explosion. A model tube with a bottom shape of paraboloid of revolution is used as mechanical binding device to restrain the shock wave from shooting in a certain direction. The experimental results show that the pressure at sensor location increases with the energy fed into the load and decreases with the distance from the sensor to the explosion source. The energy pumped into the load is larger, the longer the acting time of pressure. It can also be viewed that the highest amplitude of pressure appears at the first peak of shock wave, and the followed peaks decreases quickly. The experimental results also show that with a proper binding method, the plasma explosion of metal wire in water can generate a significant propulsion effect.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129827997","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}

This greatly assists in the calculation of the available cable rating. However, well established buried high voltage cable circuits very often have no additional temperature monitoring and the rating is determined using IEC287. In order to improve the accuracy of this rating calculation a model based on thermodynamic laws has been developed that determines the soil or backfill ambient temperature at the cable burial depth. This model uses weather data and can be used to calculate a predicted soil temperature for a given cable depth. This work will present the results obtained comparing ambient temperature measurements made at National Grid Transco's substation at Skelton Grange, Leeds, UK with predictions made using the ambient temperature model. The sensitivity of the model to input parameter sample rate and accuracy has been investigated. Results indicate that providing the meteorological data is sampled hourly and the weather station is no more than 25 miles distant, the ambient temperature can be predicted to within /spl plusmn/2 /spl deg/C.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128274347","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}

To increase lamellar density of XLPE insulating material, two kinds of additives were used and cooling rates were controlled as curing conditions. TEM and X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the degree of lamellar density varied by additives. For breakdown strength of XLPE insulation with additives and different cooling rates, the mold-type cable specimens were made and evaluated with Weibull plot parameter. From the results, it is observed that the additives improve the lamellar density. In addition, we found that the dielectric strength of samples manufactured under slow cooling rate is higher than rapid cooling one. TEM and XRD analysis showed that the density in the XLPE insulation at the interface significantly affects dielectric strength of XLPE insulation.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131386961","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}

Ageing failure data acquired on an insulating material of considerable application potential has been used to demonstrate the results. The point estimates of the parameters of failure time distribution are obtained using maximum likelihood estimation method. The true value of the variance of the ML estimates for 3pW are hard to obtain and the situation becomes more complex when the data is censored. The asymptotic variance can be obtained by taking the inverse of the Fisher information matrix, the computation of which is quite involved in the case of censored 3-pW data. Approximations are reported in the literature to simplify the procedure. The authors have considered the effects of such approximations on the precision of variance estimates when the sample size is greatly limited by practical difficulties in obtaining the authentic data. A detailed study of the effect of censoring on the ML estimates, under this condition is also presented.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128715554","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}
