There were no failures in electrical and mechanical performance tests such as high voltage strength, flashover voltage, impact strength, etc. in any of the samples. However in the case of accelerated ageing tests above 90 /spl deg/C temperature gradient, fracture phenomena occurred by a thermal shock in the aged samples with low aluminous porcelain body. It was found that sample A was more severely aged than other samples. According to results of the HRB test and microstructural analysis, it was reasoned that insulator bodies with the matrix reinforced with alumina crystalline phase have advantages in the suppression of crack propagation. Cool-heat aging and mechanical thermal aging tests show that a temperature gradient is more effective for acceleration of the aging than variation in the number of cycles.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"204 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":"116182488","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 locate the discharge source, the PD-signals have to be accurately processed to calculate the arrival time in each sensor. A wavelet based denoising technique is used to isolate the PD signals from the noise. The technique utilizes the one-dimensional discrete wavelet transform and the soft and hard thresholding are compared. Crucial is the choice of threshold level, distinguishing between coefficients related with noise and those associated with the PD signal. Four threshold criteria: the Stein's unbiased risk estimator, its Heuristic variance, the universal logarithmic threshold and the minimax are investigated. Finally, the technique is tested on PD signals detected in a power transformer.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"21 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":"128305097","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 research has shown that it is necessary to modify the standard 5000 h salt fog test to evaluate the long-term performance of nonceramic insulators. Although the main parameter for selection of proper ceramic and glass insulators is the amount of pollution, it seems to be necessary to consider other environmental factors for selection of composite insulators. These are average humidity, UV radiation level, wind velocity, rain fall, and dominant type of wetting. This is necessary because research has shown that they directly effect the performance of nonceramic insulators.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"282 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":"114258329","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 motor in question was build in 1953 and its class B insulation system has been in operation ever since. After 50 years of running, the motor was removed and a new one installed. Visual inspection of the stator didn't show any serious damage, tear or wear. The owner intends to use the motor as a replacement motor in case of an emergency. To increase motor reliability, a stator insulation system replacement is considered. Since the visual inspection didn't show any particular reason to replace the entire insulation system, several diagnostic measurements were performed. This paper describes the results of a PD localization measurement performed on this motor. This novel PD localization technique uses the time of flight of the PD signal through the stator core to pin point the actual PD site of every PD occurrence. The measurement technique and its results will be discussed in-depth. The PD localization measurement detected a region in the insulation system with an elevated PD activity. This localized elevated PD activity supports a decision on which region of the insulation system is best suited for replacement. This is in contrast to replacing the entire insulation system.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"89 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":"127023653","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 location of the boundaries of these insulation components can be found by differentiating the profile of the X-ray image surface. Once these locations are known it is possible to calculate the thickness of these components.
