The objective of these experiments has been to quantify how insulation is affected by moisture and temperature. However, the experiments have invariably been performed on small scale bench top equipment. The validity of scaled up results is always questionable and is exacerbated by the lack of published field data for comparison. A new apparatus has been developed to explore the effect of scale. The goal is to perform experiments representative of conditions inside a high voltage transformer. Electric stress of up to 10 kV can be applied to a pressboard insulated electrode immersed in the bulk oil. A series of experiments are performed to quantify the bulk insulation behaviour of pressboard in virgin oil. The apparatus has a test cell holding 370 litres of oil. The temperature of the test cell can be controlled up to 80 degC and the condition of the oil/paper system evaluated using the usual techniques of moisture analysts, voltage breakdown, tandelta etc. The paper contains a technical description of the apparatus and initial results taken from pressboard samples using the recovery voltage measurement (RVM) technique","PeriodicalId":427638,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2006 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"252 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":"121249430","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}

Condensation of water can then occur and high hydrostatic pressures can be established within water droplets embedded in the polymer. Water treeing is closely related to the condensation of water, and the main purpose of this paper has therefore been to examine the effect of different cooling rates and pressures on water condensation in XLPE insulation during temperature cycling. 1 mm thick samples cut from a XLPE cable with a super clean grade XLPE (Borealis LE 4201 S) were subjected to temperature cycles from 90 to 65, or 90 to 20degC at cooling rates ranging from 0.12 to 120degC/min. The total pressure during cycling was atmospheric or 100 bars. The insulation was characterized by water content measurements and microscopy SEM examinations. The solubility of water was about 244 g/m 3 at 90degC independent of the applied pressure. The results show that a relatively small but significant increase of about 65 g/m3 of water were measured for the fastest cooling rates at atmospheric conditions (1 bar) after 50 cycles. No significant change was measured for the slow cooling at the same conditions. An even smaller, but not significant, increase was measured at 100 bars, indicating that the high external pressure to some extent suppresses the formation of micro-voids. It is likely that the relatively low water content after the temperature cycles was due to a very low density of condensation nuclei within the insulation avoiding the formation of micro-voids. This was confirmed by the SEM analysis","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":"114593766","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}

Additionally, radio-influence voltage (RIV) measurements are performed on a 138 kV polymer insulator.

Because of the magnitude of the data base accumulated by one particular PD system vendor during the last 15-20 years, this data base was chosen for study. It was felt that sufficient data had been accumulated to allow useful statistical analysis of the capabilities of PD testing. This paper is based somewhat narrowly on data from only one company; however, there are several other companies involved in PD testing and evaluation. As described below in this paper, these companies have also been successful in identifying stator winding problems through the use of PD equipment. PD monitoring systems appear to be finding conditions of concern on about 6% of generators where the equipment is installed. Probably no other generator monitoring system exceeds this rate of problem detection. Because of the power of PD testing, it is hoped and expected that use of PD monitoring will continue to expand at a significant rate in both utility and industrial power plants","PeriodicalId":427638,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2006 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"1140 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":"127431589","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}
