In this paper, an interface of XLPE/EPDM laminates was produced and the breakdown and conduction characteristics were investigated as a function of heat treatment time. The results showed that breakdown strength and conduction current were influenced by volatile crosslinking by-products (e.g. acetophenone, cumyl alcohol, /spl alpha/-methyl styrene) which remained inside the insulating material during the production of XLPE and EPDM, especially during the heat treatment process. The breakdown strength and conduction current of XLPE/silicone oil (12500 cSt)/EPDM was more stable than XLPE/Grease/EPDM over long heat treatment times.","PeriodicalId":411839,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1998 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

Samples are typically taken annually, with more frequent sampling where there is a possible problem. Analyses performed on the oil include: dissolved gas analysis (DGA), colour, moisture level, acidity, breakdown voltage and Furfuraldehyde (FFA) content. In DGA the gases usually considered are: hydrogen, methane (CH/sub 4/), ethane (C/sub 2/H/sub 6/), ethylene (C/sub 2/H/sub 4/), acetylene (C/sub 2/H/sub 4/), carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide; variations in the levels of individual gases, or ratios of particular gases may indicate a problem with the plant. This situation is complicated by the fact that the levels of dissolved gas measured can be affected by the sampling technique and conditions, the laboratory performing the analysis and the duration of sample storage prior to analysis. The results of oil analysis undertaken by The National Grid Company are recorded in a database as records of gas concentrations (in ppm). These records are currently analysed by conventional methods; the reported exercise used unsupervised neural networks to unearth further information.","PeriodicalId":411839,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1998 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

The experimental results show an exponential increase of the free electron energy with the applied electric field, as a direct implication of the electron avalanche mechanism. The above energy involved with the partial discharges depends on the environmental temperature (partial discharges enhanced by temperature).","PeriodicalId":411839,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1998 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

The process of corona degradation is discussed as the primary cause of these insulation failures. The concept of Corona Inception Voltage (CIV)-the voltage at which corona degradation begins in an insulation system-is presented, and the major factors contributing to the CIV of a motor's insulation system are reviewed. At this point, the task of determining a motor's CIV is discussed, and a new test procedure is introduced by the author. This procedure allows the determination of a completely wound motor's CIV when subjected to steep-fronted voltage waveforms similar to those generated by an IGBT-based variable speed drive. Several different motor insulation configurations are then evaluated with the new test procedure and compared to expected results. A practical use of the new procedure is then displayed through a comparison of the insulation systems of several currently available inverter-duty motors.","PeriodicalId":411839,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1998 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

At present no method is available for direct measurement of moisture in paper insulation in transformers. This paper summarizes the results from a project for development of a method for direct measurement of moisture in paper in oil-paper insulated electrical equipment. Several techniques were investigated for their suitability for this application. The infrared absorption was found to be the most promising technique. The effectiveness of the infrared technique was examined on model transformer coils and on a power transformer, using optical fibre bundles for directing infrared radiation. The ratio of intensity of radiation back scattered from paper at a reference wavelength to that at a water absorption wavelength (Br/Bw) was used as a measure of the moisture content. From dry to ambient paper condition, the parameter Br/Bw changed by over 60%, and these readings were reproducible to better than 1%. Thus the infrared technique is sensitive enough to detect changes of the order of 0.1% in moisture content (eg, 1.9% to 2.0%) of paper insulation.","PeriodicalId":411839,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1998 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

In this paper, the wavelet transform (discrete dyadic symmetric) is developed for PD measurement. With the developed method, the ability of anti-interference, the measurement sensitivity and locating accuracy of PD measurement has been improved.
