(2) Positive charge migration is easier in the LDPE sheet soaked into /spl alpha/-methylstyrene than in the one soaked into acetophenone, which is probably due to the difference in permeation velocity of the two byproducts.

The overheating of the material and the oil contamination in the detector can be clearly discriminated by selecting mass numbers (channels) to detect out of 50 to 250 amu. More, each gas evolved from the material yields its individual mass spectrum, and hence the mass-spectrometric detection can define the material in which overheating spot exists by reference to the library of the decomposition gases. The mass-spectrometric equipment will realize a practical on-line (or continuous) monitor to detect local overheating in the operating turbine generators, combined with numerical data recognition system and the kinetic interpretation of the gas-evolution.","PeriodicalId":414762,"journal":{"name":"2000 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

In addition the critical field for PD occurrence and the residual field, a new parameter E/sub s/ is introduced in this model to determine the discharge area. The probability for discharge propagation along the surface is assumed to be determined by the field distribution on the surface. The discharge propagation is terminated when the field in the perimeter segments of the PD paths on the surface becomes less than E/sub s/. By increasing E/sub s/ transition to swarming pulsive microdischarges (SPMD) is obtained. The rabbit-like PD pattern can be simulated if assuming surface conductivity of the void. Unlike the conventional simulation models that attribute the different PD behavior to the different probability for PD occurrence, this model might provide a new approach to connect the PD behavior with the surface condition of the insulating materials (e.g. the surface conductivity, the property for discharge propagation on the surface etc.).","PeriodicalId":414762,"journal":{"name":"2000 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

An electric field applied across an array of interdigitated electrodes on the base can supply the necessary heat, assuming the liquid to be lossy. At the same time, the field can cause levitation of weakly-polarizable, non-buoyant particles, which tend to become entrained in the convective pattern: the effect has been termed lev-vection. In the simplest case of a slow, single, toroidal convection pattern, the particles become concentrated and trapped in a particular and repeatable region just above the electrode plane. A desire to scale-up the apparatus has led us to examine the effects of varying the various parameters (size, voltage, viscosity etc.) on the speed and stability of the induced circulation.","PeriodicalId":414762,"journal":{"name":"2000 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

The water tree is assumed to be composed of cavities filled with aqueous salts connected by narrow cylindrical conducting links. This structure is formed in the amorphous region of a polymer. The difference in conductivity between the links and cavities and the un-treed polymer, introduces an electrical contribution to the free energy difference between these two regions under an ac electric field. Consequently, there is a pressure difference that acts to force aqueous sails into the un-treed polymer and to establish, first, a conducting link capable of transporting the salt under pressure, and second, a new cavity when the pressure builds up suitably at the end of the link. At all times the pressure gradient is directed away from the pre-existing tree structure. Our model suggests that there is no need to deform the polymer to form the link, and that the pressure difference is sufficient to force enough aqueous salts into the free volume to form a percolation system along the link cylinder. Expressions have been derived for the time required to form a link or a cavity in terms of the flow rate of aqueous salt into and through the link. This physically based model is suitable for computer simulation by defining a matrix of incipient links with nodes acting as incipient.","PeriodicalId":414762,"journal":{"name":"2000 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

A simple and convenient way to generate an /spl epsiv///spl sigma/ gradient in a homogeneous sample is to establish a temperature gradient across it. The resulting spatial variation in /spl epsiv/ is usually small in polymeric insulators, but the variation in /spl sigma/ can be appreciable. Laser induced pressure pulse (LIPP) measurements were made on 1.5 mm thick plaques of ultra pure LDPE equipped with vacuum-evaporated aluminium electrodes. Temperature differences up to 27/spl deg/C were maintained across the samples, which were subjected to DC fields up to 20 kV/mm. Current density was measured as a function of temperature and field. Negligible thermally generated space charge was observed.
