The results show that the grain size of the stretched films decrease with the increase of the number of $alpha$ spherulites compared with the unstretched films. Meanwhile, the stretched films show a stable advantage in breakdown performance. That is because the breakdown strength of modified films was 509.6kV/mm when the stretching ratio is 6 times, an increase of 24.2% compared with that of unstretched films. Apart from this, the crystallinity increases and the electrical conductivity decrease significantly compared with unstretched films. Therefore, biaxial stretching is an effective strategy to improve the properties of PP films, which can provide a reference for the performance improvement of PP films for MFCs.","PeriodicalId":374945,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133322320","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}

Compared with mineral oil and other ester liquids, natural ester insulating oil has higher flash point, biodegradation and better electrical performance, which has a wide application prospect. However, the research on the discharge characteristics and fault criteria of natural ester insulating oil are very limited. In this paper, the gas production characteristics of three kinds of natural ester insulating oil (FR3, RAPO and RDB) and mineral oil under partial discharge along surface were studied and compared. The simulation results of the electrode of weak vertical component surface discharge show that the quarter spherical electrode generates more ideal electric fields than the needle electrode does. The dissolved gases generated in the surface discharge dominated by the vertical electric field, mainly consist of hydrogen, ethane, and acetylene, while the main dissolved gases are hydrogen and ethane when the discharge is dominated by the parallel electric field. The production characteristics of acetylene in esters is significantly different from mineral oil under partial discharge. The IEC ratio method is not suitable for the fault judgement of natural esters. The research is expected to provide a reference for the development of the new detection methods of dissolved gas analysis (DGA) and failure criterion.","PeriodicalId":374945,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123900054","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}

Atmospheric pressure low temperature plasma technology has made great progress in material surface modification, but most of the existing plasma reactors range in size from a few to tens of centimeters, which cannot meet the need for efficient surface modification of large-scale insulating materials. In this paper, a novel modularized dielectric barrier discharge (MDBD) reactor with gas path optimization and discharge regulation was designed, which was applied to deposit functionalized thin film on the surface of large-scale polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The results show that the MDBD reactor with length of 1120 mm achieves uniform discharge, and the addition of precursor hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) promotes first and then suppresses the discharge power of Ar plasma. The water contact angle (WCA) of PMMA increases after the MDBD treatment and the WCA in different positions does not exceed ±5°, indicating the uniform modification of MDBD treatment. Furthermore, the surface properties of PMMA are obviously affected by the addition amount of HMDSO under MDBD treatment. When the addition is 60 sccm, WCA increases from 67° to 140°, and the flashover voltage increases from 6 kV to 10 kV, demonstrating the improvement of surface properties by the MDBD modification.","PeriodicalId":374945,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127842896","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 this paper, by using the method of physical field finite element modeling analysis, the moisture migration patterns under different temperature gradient of oil-impregnated paper insulation bushing was studied from the most intuitionistic image observation. The damp location and diffusion process of water concentration under the temperature were obtained. The results show as follows: 1) at the temperature from 20°C to 40°C, the moisture migration speed in bushing under the action of each increasing 10°C is much less than that of 50°C to 70°C. At the same diffusion time, the increment of temperature accelerates the degree of moisture diffusion. 2) There is an obvious asymmetry in the upper and lower parts of the bushing in the concentration visual cloud picture of moisture content. 3) The aluminum foil inside the core blocks unevenly the water diffusion among multi-layer oil-paper core, forming several local dry and wet areas, which eventually leads to severe local insulation failure of the bushing.","PeriodicalId":374945,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115427709","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 latter represents a recent developed power electronics device, which has improved characteristics compared to the traditional Silicon MOSFET. The new technology has been conceived in order to satisfy the new market needs. With the ever-increasing development of the electric mobility sector, the need for ever more performing electronic power devices grows. The main features provided by the Silicon Carbide device were found in literature and concern a great thermal conductivity, wide bandgap, high power and high working temperature. However, considering the high voltage at which these devices work, also taking into account their small geometric dimensions, it is essential to evaluate the behavior from the partial discharges point of view. Based on the above, the aim of the present work is the measurement of partial discharges in ten different Silicon Carbide MOSFET devices in order to evaluate the electrical performances of the new proposed material as well as the quality of their manufacturing process. Experimental tests have been carried out by taking into account the Standard CEI EN 60270 for the realization of the measurement setup and the Standard CEI EN 61287 for the measurement procedure. In particular, the latter Standard provides the guidelines for the applied voltage waveform. Measurement results showed that no partial discharge phenomena occur in all the specimens under tests. Therefore, the SiC MOSFET passed the partial discharge test successfully.","PeriodicalId":374945,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127061175","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 approach used fifteen typical time-domain features extracted from signals of exciting coil current and angular displacement to indicate the operational state of HVCBs, and combined the multiple deep neural networks (DNN) to improve the accuracy and standard deviation. Six operational states were simulated based on the experimental platform, including normal state, two typical mechanical faults and four typical electrical faults, and the coil current and angular displacement signals are collected in each state to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.
