The polarity test results of glycerol show that, at the temperature of 25 °C, the averaged positive and negative polarity breakdown field strength was found to be 246 kV/cm and 256 kV/cm respectively, which indicates that glycerol has no polarity. In addition, compared with the situation of standard atmospheric pressure, the breakdown field strength at 7 atms was increased by approximately 24.4%. Furthermore, breakdown test at different temperatures show that the average breakdown field strength of glycerol reduces gradually from 320 kV/cm for minus 45 °C to 200 kV/cm for 55 °C, and it can also be found that the breakdown field strength is gradually reduced with the increasing of liquid temperature, and the trend tends to be smooth.","PeriodicalId":393969,"journal":{"name":"2013 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126199618","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}

Nanosecond-pulse surface discharge is considered to be a new way of generating plasma aerodynamic actuation. When it comes to the practical application, the altitude at which plasma flow control is expected to be adopted is about 10-20km, where the static pressure is only 40-185 Torr, and it is much lower than atmospheric pressure. In this paper, with a three-electrode plasma sheet actuator, the electrical and plasma characteristics of nanosecond-pulse surface discharge are experimentally investigated under varying pressures. A RO4350B (high frequency circuit material, Rogers) plate with the thickness of 1 mm and relative permittivity constant of 3.48 is taken as the dielectric layer of the plasma sheet actuator. The discharge pattern changes from dielectric barrier discharge to sliding discharge when the pressure is under 200Torr. As the pressure decreases from 760 Torr to 5 Torr, N2(C3Πu) vibrational temperature decreases slightly at first and then increases remarkably. With the pressure of about 80 Torr, the change of discharge mode from a filamentary type to a glow type has been observed. In the filamentary mode, the electron temperature hardly changes, while in the glow mode, the electron temperature increases obviously with the decrease of pressure.","PeriodicalId":393969,"journal":{"name":"2013 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126323573","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}

However, the success of these materials relies on a proper dispersion of nanofillers within the matrix. In this work, UHMWPE/POSS composite of Ultra-High-Molecular Weight PolyEthylene (UHMWPE) with 5% wt Octaisobutyl Polyhedral Oligomeric SilSesquioxanes (POSS) was prepared by ball milling. In order to enhance the dispersion of POSS within UHMWPE, two routes were tested: 1) stearic acid in a concentration of 1% wt (versus POSS filler) was added to UHMWPE and POSS blend during ball milling; 2) a thermal treatment on UHMWPE/POSS composite at a pressure of 6.3×106 Pa and an average temperature of 453 K for 7200 s was carried out. The resulting composites were tested using optical microscopy, heat-flux differential scanning calorimetry, broadband dielectric spectroscopy and short-time breakdown. The results showed the first route seemed to have little effect on enhancing the dispersion of POSS within UHMWPE matrix nor the dielectric properties of UHMWPE/POSS composite. The results also showed the second route seemed to have a positive effect on enhancing the dispersion of POSS within UHMWPE matrix yet a negative effect on the dielectric properties of UHMWPE/POSS composite.","PeriodicalId":393969,"journal":{"name":"2013 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126358490","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 variation of trap levels and trapped charges under different experimental conditions were calculated and analyzed.

The values of loss (tanδ) increased sharply in low frequencies (≤ 20Hz) and high temperatures (≥ 130°C) region. The peak of tanδ shifts to higher temperatures with frequency increasing and to higher frequencies with temperature increasing.","PeriodicalId":393969,"journal":{"name":"2013 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126459032","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 whole and simplified 3D finite element models of UHV AC transmission line porcelain insulator string were built. The influencing factors including tower, phase conductors, hardware fittings, yoke plate and phase interaction were considered in the analysis of the potential and electric field distribution. And finally, the reasonable of the simplified model was validated. The results comparison show that building a simplified model of three-phase bundled conductors within a certain length, simplifying the tower reasonably, omitting the hardware fittings and yoke plate and containing only single-phase insulator string model is feasible.

To reduce the electric power consumption, the efficient-energy motor is required to be developed. One of effective improvement of the efficiency of motors is to increase the driving voltage for it. However, if the driving voltage is increased, a large, so called “inverter serge voltage” is applied to the coating insulating material for the motor windings, then partial discharge (PD) occurs between the wires or the wire and the grounded metal of the motor. The partial discharge gives serious damages to the insulating material and it leads the breakdown finally in the insulating material. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanism of the generation of partial discharge. Especially, the space charge formed in the insulating material under such condition is supposed to affect the generation of the partial discharge. However the relationship between the space charge and the PD haven't been cleared yet. Therefore, we have tried to measure the space charge accumulation in the material under corona discharge using PEA system. In this report, some typical results of space charge profiles measured after surface discharge are introduced. As the results, we have found that the space charge formation in polyimide film under corona discharge is easy to accumulate.","PeriodicalId":393969,"journal":{"name":"2013 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134118521","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}

To solve the problem, a compensation capacitor in parallel and optimization of detect unit and amplifier are proposed. This paper presents a laboratory experiment on 10kV XLPE short cables (<;500m) with four artificial typical defects.
