Many researchers have investigated the aging behavior of such cellulose products in the past. In the recent years, the transformer industry started to use significantly higher quantities of laminated wood (plywood) products. Yet, manufacturers and users have not thoroughly studied the long-term characteristics of these alternative products in comparison with kraft products. This paper reports and discusses results from accelerated aging tests investigating the behavior of laminated pressboard and laminated wood in mineral oil. The test conditions were chosen to simulate realistically the operation of open breathing transformers from commissioning to end of life, when the cellulose has decomposed to an extent that the apparatus has to be taken out of service. Two different types of laminated wood (low and high density) from two different suppliers were tested in parallel with laminated pressboard at temperatures from 105 to 135 degC, and an aging time of up to 16 months. Regular testing of the condition of the liquid and solid insulation included flexural strength, water and acid contents, degree of polymerization, dissolved gas analysis and furan content. The results show significantly more acids in the case of laminated wood, which contains high quantities of lignin and natural resin compounds. Faster degradation of the mechanical strength associated with cracks and carbon deposits, corrosion and sludge formation was observed with laminated wood. Moreover, the combustible gases composition is different. In the case of laminated wood, hydrogen production and even gas bubble formation was observed","PeriodicalId":427638,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2006 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"319 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133366076","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}

It is clear from these experiments that the RTD leads-rather than the RTD element itself, primarily detects the PD signals. In addition, if the RTD lead is shielded, the detected signal is extremely small. Thus PD measurements should only be attempted with unshielded RTD leads. Unfortunately whether leads are shielded or unshielded is often unknown. The data also shows that even with unshielded RTD leads, the detected signals are usually uncorrelated with the PD measurement using conventional sensors, and thus the known condition of the stator winding. Although RTD leads may detect PD, interpretation of the results cannot be based on magnitude, polarity or phase position.

One would prefer that the ZnO \"turn on\" (become substantially conductive) very rapidly, while how it approaches its ultimate conductivity with voltage is less important. Both the threshold voltage and nonlinearity can be controlled, to some degree, by the fraction of nonconducting grains. In the present contribution, we use statistical approaches to study the effect of the fraction of nonconducting grains as a function of the element thickness (threshold voltage) to see how the properties change as the number of grains drops from the region of 1000, where the statistics are clearly \"smooth\" to the region of 30, where the effect of the standard deviation will be much greater","PeriodicalId":427638,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2006 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127821692","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}

This is practically realised by means of a capacitive decoupling principle. However, due to the increased use of power electronic devices, voltages that appear in the system can contain high frequency components, which limit the possibility for the discrimination and make the use of the standard method for PD detection difficult or even impossible. It is therefore necessary to find other features of PDs that could be used in addition. One example is the statistical time distribution of PD appearance. In this study, the statistical time distribution of PD appearance was investigated for semi-square voltages with exponentially rising fronts. The test object was a needle in air, to which positive voltage waveforms with different rise times and voltage levels were applied. Voltages up to 10 kV with rise times of 60 mus-260 mus were used. A conventional PD decoupling circuit followed by on-line signal processing was employed for the detection. To quantify the occurrence of PDs, a concept of \"first discharge rate\" was introduced and its dependence on steepness of the applied voltage was investigated. For most combinations of voltage level and rise time, a considerable number of PDs appeared during the voltage rise. This is important to consider when designing PD measurement techniques for semi-square voltages","PeriodicalId":427638,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2006 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124270283","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}

Insulating materials based on mica and silicone binder are usually used for this purpose. For these materials, it is necessary to understand their behavior under operating temperatures, as well as the specific properties which characterize their behavior with respect to temperature, e.g. glass transition temperature Tg and the thermal expansion coefficients in the glassy phase oil and the rubbery phase alpha2. It is a well-known fact that silicone binders have a glass transition temperature Tgin the negative range of values (below 0degC). This causes a problem when knowledge of the behavior of the insulating material in the positive range (above 0 degC) of values is required, since it is not possible to take the temperature Tg into account. This paper deals with examining the behavior of materials containing silicone binders at positive temperatures, and with searching for an alternate parameter, which would (thanks to its predicative ability) partly supply the above-mentioned glass transition temperature Tg. A material specifically designed for operating at high thermal stresses has been chosen for experimental purposes. The composition of the material is as follows: noncalcinated mica (91%) and thermally resistant silicone binder (9%). The maximum operating temperature given by the manufacturer is 500 degC. This material was first treated in an ageing oven at a temperature of 320 degC for 500 hours. After this thermal exposure, a voltage exposure followed. The intensity of the exposure has been selected based on our experience in the range from 3 kV for 80 hours to 5 kV for 14 hours. Afterwards, the analysis of the degradation effects at positive temperatures was realized by thermomechanical (TMA) analysis","PeriodicalId":427638,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2006 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124393054","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}
