The effect of discharge polarity on electrical current conduction and electrohydrodynamically induced liquid flow is discussed in detail in the terms of a dimensionless parameter.","PeriodicalId":414762,"journal":{"name":"2000 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

In this reactor, ozone is produced by dielectric-barrier discharge through humid gas in a parallel-plate geometry, with water as the ground electrode. Teflon membranes were chosen as dielectric barriers for reasons of the highly aggressive nature of the plasma. The flat, metallic parts of the electrodes, parallel with the water surface, were embedded in a second dielectric, contiguous with the Teflon membranes. The test was carried out continuously for 20 weeks, with room-temperature air as the atmosphere, over stagnant deionized water, at 24 kV and 30 kV (rms), 60 Hz. A set of 32 small electrodes was used for each voltage. The lower of the two voltages was at the threshold of corona discharge (and ozone generation). Three different membrane thicknesses (0.01 in, 0.02 in, 0.03 in) were tested. The second dielectric was silicone transformer oil. Six 0.02-in and six 0.03-in membranes at 30 kV failed due to dielectric breakdown, as well as one 0.01-in membrane at 24 kV. A failure was always accompanied by a perforation of the membrane and a shutdown of the power supply. The frequency of the occurrence of failures increased with time. Scanning electron microscopy was done on some of the membrane perforations. In addition to the failures, a progressive deterioration of the membrane surfaces was observed. In a number of membranes this resulted in open cracks through which the silicone oil slowly leaked and polymerized on the outer membrane surfaces. Particularly susceptible were 0.01-in membranes, some of which had to be exchanged before the completion of the test. Interestingly, no actual dielectric breakdown occurred in these cases.","PeriodicalId":414762,"journal":{"name":"2000 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

The materials tested are microheterogeneous, basically made out of a semicrystalline polymeric matrix (polytetrafluoroethylene) with mineral particles (calcium fluoride) dispersed in it. The dielectric properties are determined in a wide frequency (or time) range by a combination of two techniques: the short time response is assessed by measuring the complex permittivity in the frequency domain (20 Hz-1 MHz), and the long term response is studied by measuring the polarization current in the time domain (1s-600s) thus covering more than 8 decades in frequency or time. The modelling used to describe microheterogeneous dielectrics is shown to fit the experimental data. However, exposure to moisture is shown to induce strong relaxational effects. These effects vanish in a reversible way by drying treatment (i.e. removal of water molecules). These additional relaxations are discussed in term of conductivity effects occurring at the interface matrix-filler particles.","PeriodicalId":414762,"journal":{"name":"2000 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.

To address this aspect of partial discharge measurement there is scope for considerable progress particularly in the area of cables already is service. The laboratory measurement of high frequency current signals or emitted radio frequency signals is a relatively easier proposition than to measure PD in a cable that is already in service. One of the major constraints in on-line measurement of PD in cables is the attenuation in solid cables imposing a theoretical limitation to the PD measurement. The attenuation in a solid polythene cable has been numerically calculated and the effect of sheath is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":414762,"journal":{"name":"2000 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (Cat.
