This phenomenon leads to the formation of a conducting path on the surface of an insulation material as a result of surface currents. The surface current is effectively the drift of charge under the action of an electric field which may be either the general electric field or a locally enhanced field developed around a space charge. Sustained surface discharge can eventually result in equipment failure. A needle-bar electrode configuration has been used to investigate the surface discharge phenomenon at the oil pressboard interface. This paper presents the partial discharge (PD) patterns corresponding to the surface discharge events.","PeriodicalId":364451,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Dielectric Liquids","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131340479","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 initial rates of cellulose degradation of Kraft and thermally upgraded Kraft in mineral oil or natural esters are similar. Subsequent degradation in natural ester occurs at a slower rate.

Based on early sealed tube aging results, the insulation unit life of the natural ester/thermally upgraded Kraft insulation system is estimated to be 130°C. Accelerated aging of single phase distribution transformers filled with natural ester also show a reduction using a thermally upgraded Kraft/natural ester insulation system, meeting criteria for 120°C hottest spot temperature operation.","PeriodicalId":364451,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Dielectric Liquids","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114074444","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}

Used with clean, new material the rig gave humidity equilibrium results reasonably close to results found in literature. With service-aged pressboard the humidity results departed from the values from literature for clean, new material. The results had some inner consistency indicating that they were reasonably trustworthy despite some uncertainty because of long diffusion times in pressboard and some measurement uncertainty. It was also attempted to look into temperature-dependent equilibrium distribution of acids, but the variation with temperature was too small compared to the measurement uncertainty. It was also found that the rig is suitable for studying the temperature-dependent humidity saturation in otherwise contaminated oil at high temperatures.","PeriodicalId":364451,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Dielectric Liquids","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126353465","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 correlation has been observed between the degree of polymerisation of the paper insulation and the poles values outputted from the frequency response. From the investigations performed on new and aged oil paper samples, it was shown that poles can be regarded as insulation aging indicator.","PeriodicalId":364451,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Dielectric Liquids","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117058174","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}

With the help of fast digital video recorder, wideband discharge current sampling resistor and commercial PD detector, it is found that the liquid impregnated pressboard as composite insulation is susceptible to erosion giving rise to white marks due to intense discharges occurring on/near to the pressboard surface. The white mark is visible after discharges evaporate the liquid and moisture and takes the form of trapped gaseous bubbles within the surface layers of pressboard. Once the white mark is formed, it can continue to grow even under a reduced voltage level until it bridges the gap and finally causes flashover. The white mark appears at a lower voltage and propagates more readily on the ester impregnated pressboard, due to more intense discharges, more gas generation and the higher viscosity of esters than mineral oil.","PeriodicalId":364451,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Dielectric Liquids","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114304957","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 buildup of surface charge, which was determined by the polarity of the applied voltage, pH and chemical composition of aqueous solution, led to the formation of an electrical double layer at the ceramic surface. Under an externally applied electric field, this double layer becomes polarized, which affected the electric field distribution on the ceramic electrode and conditions needed for initiation of the discharge in water.","PeriodicalId":364451,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Dielectric Liquids","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129577433","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}
