A concept for accelerated aging of turn insulation by applying thermal stress and electrical stress across the groundwall and the turn insulation simultaneously was developed and verified in preliminary tests on a few single coils. In the accelerated aging experiment, four to six coils were aged simultaneously. Turn insulation was aged for 500 h in ten coils and for 1000 h in twelve coils. The impulse breakdown voltages were measured for the aged and the unaged coils for comparison. Thus a type test to check the quality of turn insulation was developed. However, more tests on many more coils of different insulation design are required to establish the efficacy of the type test. The problems encountered in the tests are described, and plans for ongoing work in this area are outlined.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":367238,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 20th Electrical Electronics Insulation Conference","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132386791","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 wire automatically makes the wires in the transformer short-circuited when the equipment in use is overheated beyond a given temperature rise limit, thereby making the current fuse function. Characteristics evaluated include fusing characteristics after overheating and smoke emission, and good characteristics were observed in all respects.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":367238,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 20th Electrical Electronics Insulation Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132592272","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 sensor was found to respond well to moisture levels from dry to very wet conditions over a wide temperature range, typical for oil in transformers in cold and warm weather. Routine calibration was done in oil for the temperature range 20 to 80 degrees C for each sensor. The moisture content of oil may be obtained as percent saturation or as ppm moisture level from the current output of the sensor. Further testing was done in a 500 kVA test transformer in which the sensor unit was installed. It was possible to follow the moisture changes during load variation. The ppm moisture content changed roughly in the same manner as the temperature, but the saturation curve showed a tendency to maintain a steady value, except during shutdown. Moisture saturation in oil increased abnormally due to the slow return of moisture from oil to the paper insulation. The moisture sensor should therefore be a valuable tool in warning of hazardous conditions from moisture saturation in oil.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":367238,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 20th Electrical Electronics Insulation Conference","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126726301","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}

FACTS technology can increase the loading on existing systems and assist in directing power flow in an interconnected network. The concept is based on the following view: systems are mechanically controlled for the most part, and the speed of response is slow. If control could be achieved at electronic speed with smart power electronic devices, great strides could be made in increasing loading of existing transmission systems and providing more flexible systems in the future where power flows could be controlled to facilitate business transactions among utilities. The first element in this work is to develop large semiconductors capable of handling power-class voltages and currents. A second area of research is now producing the smart devices. Controllers can be built to use the characteristics of these smart power electronic devices to perform functions such as controlling voltage, impedance, and phase angle.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":367238,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 20th Electrical Electronics Insulation Conference","volume":"8 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120812674","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}
