The coating solution was made by polyamide powder dissolved in formic acid. The breakdown strength, dielectric constant, loss, mass density of the coating, and adhesion to the substrate were studied. The effects of substrate, surface properties, temperature and vacuum pressure during the solvent evaporation on the dielectric properties were also studied. It was found that pressured spray coating method was the best among coating techniques; however, the dielectric breakdown strength of the coating was less than that of commercial polyamide film. Dielectric constant and dissipation factor are higher than commercial polyamide film. The optical microscope was used to analyze surface morphology.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"52 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":"129113413","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}

Balancing maintenance with reliability is a key issue for the economical performance of a power plant. The paper shows that the turbo generator is the third cause for forced outages hours in a power plant. It will zoom into the generator failure statistics and show that the HV insulation system is the root cause for generator failure outage hours. Also the paper provides insight into the benefit of condition based maintenance (CBM) on the stator insulation system of generators. These benefits include: steering of insulation reliability, lengthening economical lifetime of the machine and decrease maintenance cost. A third topic of the paper is decision process from condition assessment to maintenance. This process is currently in use in some form or other at most power plants. Measurements are performed, interpreted and maintenance decisions are taken. However, this decision process is often not applied to its maximum efficiency. The main reason for this decreased efficiency is the problem of providing reliability numbers on the insulation system. The challenge of tomorrow would be to generate failure probability numbers based on measurements performed on machine insulation.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"106 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":"132834161","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 work will review IEEE 286-2000 recommended procedures and present actual findings when these procedures are implemented. Power factor testing of complete stator windings provides data that is limited in its scope and value. Careful analysis of the data is very important and an understanding of what the data is indicating must be interpreted correctly to obtain meaningful results. Power factor data taken on individual stator coils are compared with power factor data measure on complete phase groups in a stator. The effect exhibited by guard electrodes is presented in order to obtain a better understanding of the resulting data. It is the purpose of this paper to draw attention to the value and the limitations of the power factor test when performed on complete windings.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"33 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":"121416784","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 coil winding method simplifies the winding steps, eradicates the requirement of having multiple spools for multiple strands winding and increases the slot fill factor. Low voltage-high current motor designs necessitate the use of multiple strands winding. Bending the end turns with multiple strands in hand is cumbersome with present day's coil winding technology. The developed technique uses multiple layers of single strand wires instead of multiple strands of wires, thus, making the end windings to bend easier. The balance of inductance and resistance among different layers is achieved by 'layer transposition'. While this technique is mostly suitable for segmented electromagnetic architecture, it can also be used in conventional twin pole electromagnetic designs having concentrated winding.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"1 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":"129044460","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 insulation is always subjected to stresses of different types at the same point in time. Among the more important stress are, electrical, thermal and their combination. Insulating properties of both solid (cellulose paper) and liquid (mineral insulating oil) phases deteriorate with time due to an electrothermal process called aging. The status of insulation at a given point in time can therefore be assessed by monitoring such of those properties of insulation which are sensitive to the amount of aging, so as to be able to take and appropriate corrective measures to avoid/postpone impending insulation failure. This procedure, called diagnostic testing and condition monitoring (DTCM) aims to avoid catastrophic failure. The aim of the present investigation is to try and determine the most sensitive parameters which can serve as indices of aging and hence as a reasonably accurate indicator of possible imminent failure of apparatus insulation in service. To this end, carefully controlled laboratory aging experiments have been performed on about eight nominally identical and scaled-down models of prorated units incorporating all the essential features of actual power transformers under normal operating electric stress and accelerated thermal stress. The paper details the DTCM program designed to acquire aging data.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"2 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":"115233229","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}
