Numerical results concerning spherical and rodlike inclusions with various radius-to-length ratios, of finite conductivity, periodically arranged in a simple cubic lattice configuration are provided. For illustrative purpose, a single set of permittivities was investigated: /spl epsiv//sub 1/=80-i10/sup 6/ and /spl epsiv//sub 2/=2-i0. The percolation threshold volume concentration is strongly dependent on the inclusion shape. Increasing the radius-to-length ratio by one order of magnitude has the effect of shifting upwards the percolation threshold by two decades. The exponents which determine how the real and imaginary parts of the effective permittivity scale with the distance from the percolation threshold are determined and are compared with the scaling predictions of percolation theory for infinite three-dimensional lattices of insulator-normal metal composite systems.","PeriodicalId":411839,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1998 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

These defects can be detected by several techniques, one of which is that using acoustic sensors placed on the enclosure. This paper reports on the defect detection and identification of sources in GIS apparatus using acoustic technique, based on laboratory and on-site experience.

The streamer breakdown line and the streamer corona onset line can be calculated using the basic knowledge of SF/sub 6/ gas insulation. If the critical pressure P/sub c/ is known, then the low probability impulse breakdown level can be predicted, because the streamer corona onset voltage and the low probability impulse breakdown voltage are of almost the same value at P/sub c/. So the expression of P/sub c/ is very useful for insulation design. In this paper, different point/plane gaps are tested, and an expression of P/sub c/ is derived based on the experimental results. Compared with the measured values for given gaps, the calculated values have a relative error no more than 2%.","PeriodicalId":411839,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1998 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

Equations describing the parameters (dry band phenomenon) involved in the flashover process, were established. To obtain these variables, a hollow cylindrical glass insulator was tested in a fog chamber, under various pollution levels. The equations were implemented in a computer programme.

By estimating the data of the thermally accelerated aging for this new type of insulating structure, we obtain a temperature index (TI) of 187/spl deg/C, and a thermal lifetime of 27 years by extrapolating to 150/spl deg/C. Thus, this new insulation structure not only provides a design basis for class H asynchronous machines, shielded machines and DC motors, but also improves their temperature rise and is a thin, low-cost insulation.","PeriodicalId":411839,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1998 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.

In this paper, we simulate the positive corona of SF/sub 6/ gas in a point to plane electrode system configuration using a multichannel model considering the conditions mentioned above. In corona discharges, residual space charges formed as a result of previous discharges affect the electric field distribution, the charged particle density distribution, and the waveforms of the corona pulse current. Therefore, we compare and discuss the calculated differences by using the triple channel model, in which ion diffusion in the radial direction is considered, and using the single channel model, in which the diffusion in the direction is not considered. The differences between the waveforms of the corona pulse trains, when trigger electrons are given at intervals of a time, are also discussed. The distance that the streamer progresses is also compared. The simulation results using the multichannel model are a good approximation to the actual experimentally measured waveform of corona pulse current.","PeriodicalId":411839,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1998 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation (Cat.
