In a voltage endurance test, breakdown positions of the twisted pairs localized at edge parts of the twisted pairs. The localization of the breakdown positions of the twisted pairs disappeared when increasing the applied voltage. It was found that the localization of the breakdown positions originated from inhomogeneous distribution of the PDs at the twisted pairs. An insulating varnish treatment for the edge parts of twisted pairs can prevent the localization of the breakdown positions. As the results, the lifetime of the twisted pairs with the insulating varnish treatment for the edge parts was two times larger than that of the normal ones. Thus, an insulating varnish treatment for edge parts of twisted pairs is desired for a voltage endurance test.","PeriodicalId":360527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 International Symposium on Electrical Insulating Materials","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122494857","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}

Results obtained indicate that the surface resistivity for both the materials decreases with the growth of the total dose of irradiation. The surface resistivity measured with high relative humidity is smaller than that obtained with low relative humidity. ATR-FTIR measurement reveals that polar groups are formed on surface layer of the polymers, and thereby the charge migration is encouraged by the appearance of shallow trap.","PeriodicalId":360527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 International Symposium on Electrical Insulating Materials","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127447545","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}

Results indicate that Tg of epoxy nanocomposites is lower than that of neat epoxy resin due to the existence of nanoparticles. However, thermal behavior has no change in LDPE nanocomposites. The dielectric responses also indicate a great deal of difference between the both nanocomposites. However, ac electrical strength first increases then decreases with increasing nanoparticles loading for both kinds of nanocomposites. From the results, it seems that there is a weak relationship between Tg and electrical strength. The polarity of polymer may influence the bond strength between nanoparticles and polymeric matrix. This bond strength affects the arrangement and the mobility of polymeric molecule chain at the interface, which may cause the changes of Tg.","PeriodicalId":360527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 International Symposium on Electrical Insulating Materials","volume":"109 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130661425","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}

An ultrasonic homogenizer was used for mixing an epoxy resin with commercial CNT and the prepared dispersion agent. The prepared suspension was coated on an epoxy insulating substrate using a spin coater under certain conditions. Cracked surface was observed with the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) to check the dispersion of CNT. Surface resistivity was measured by an electrometer with a special test fixture at measurement. As a result, it was elucidated that grafting polymer molecules onto the CNT surface improves the dispersion of CNT in epoxy matrix compared to those containing CNT without functionalization. It was also shown that the surface resistivity of the nano-composites decreases because of more uniform dispersion of CNT.

OLTC are crucial part of electric power transformers. They enable for on load voltage regulation in the network. Reliable operation of these devices is important especially for distributive transformers but also for units working in mills and industrial plants vulnerable on occurrence of voltage value changes in the network. Operation of OLTC is connected with formation of electric arc which occurs on main contacts and also on resistor contacts. Intensity of this phenomenon depends among others on: scale of current flowing during switch over, wear and tear level of contacts, character of receptions etc. The aim of research works, results of which are presented in the paper, was to determine characteristic parameters, so called “finger prints”, for AE signals generated by ignition of electric arc and in particular determination of the corresponding time-frequency structures. The measurements were performed in a modeling assemble equipped with tap changer including separated selector and power changer that were supplied with single phase voltage, 50 V, forcing current flow, nominal value equal to 150 A. The measurements were performed for each phase separately each time forcing current flow through the contacts accruing to a single phase. Electric arc created during coupling and uncoupling of contacts generated AE signals which were registered with a measuring apparatus equipped with wide band transducer type WD AH-17. Analysis of achieved results was performed in the time-frequency domain by use of short time Fourier transform (STFT), continuous (CWT) and discrete (DWT) wavelet transform.","PeriodicalId":360527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 International Symposium on Electrical Insulating Materials","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132474902","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 is observed that the frequency content of the signal radiated due to partial discharges generated due to particle movement in the electrode gap lies in the UHF signal range, with its dominant frequency at near 1 GHz, irrespective of frequency of the supply voltage. The UHF signal magnitude and the time required for 100 UHF signals to form shows direct correlation. When the applied voltage is increased above levitation voltage, the UHF signal magnitude formed due to particle movement increases, irrespective of supply voltage frequency.
