Typically, either during laboratory measurements or at on-site field testing, partial discharges are detected by applying a continuous sinusoidal excitation, most regularly 50/60 Hz. A chopped partial discharge sequence consists of a number of packets of a base waveform, separated by a variable time delay. The base waveform may be sinusoidal, square-like, trapezoidal or with the different shapes reflecting various switching phenomena and stresses occurring in insulation systems. In this paper, a chopped partial discharge approach is applied in the investigation of the internal mechanism inside voids, especially with respect to void surface conditions and charge decay phenomena. The void embedded in epoxy resin was investigated. In order to properly understand the mechanism of partial discharge in a void, it is necessary to understand the field created by surface charges which remain after previous discharge events. Such deposited charges create an internal field, which interplays with superimposed external electric field in terms of the discharge inception conditions. As a result partial discharge inception occurs at a different phase angle of the external background field relative to the equivalent inception angle for a continuous sequence.","PeriodicalId":432404,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114679983","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}

Moisture ingress may lead to interfacial adhesion loss and even cause a significant decline of insulation properties. It should be noted that, it is lack of the detection method for interface electrical properties. In this study, an electrode system is designed and manufactured to measure the interface partial discharge (PD). The electrodes are embedded into the interface during the curing process. As we know, when the composite insulators encounter liquids, the liquids may permeate into the silicone rubber housing via diffusion process and reach the interface between the silicone rubber and FRP, which may cause the damage to the interface and also the change of PD properties under ac voltages. In our study, the PD properties in the interface before and after liquids permeation were measured by a PD measurement system. The liquids we chose in this study were three kinds, including deionized water, NaCl solution and HNO3 solution, since composite insulators encountered such kinds of liquids in practice. Since the permeation time for liquids was the key point, different values of PD were gained after several different days' permeation, which may reflect the deterioration process of the interface. Our PD research, together with the past test results about interface resistivity, could provide an in-depth understanding of the interface performance in composite insulators.","PeriodicalId":432404,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125127041","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 affected by several factors like electrical field, temperature and fillers. The focus of this paper is the behavior of space charge in the unfilled/filled epoxy resin under temperature gradient. In this work, neat epoxy resin and SiO2-epoxy resin nanocomposites were prepared, and the measurements were carried out under different electrical field (5-50kV/mm) and different temperature gradient (ΔT=0-60°C) by a modified pulsed electro-acoustic system. At room temperature (T=20°C, ΔT=0°C), only homocharge accumulation near the anode is observed in neat epoxy resin, while no charge accumulation is detected in the bulk of nanocomposites. When the temperature gradient is high enough (ΔT≥40°C), a lot of charge is injected from the high temperature electrode (cathode) and accumulates in the bulk of samples. Most of charge accumulates near the cathode in epoxy resin, while the charge accumulated in nanocomposites extends through the thickness of the sample. The reason for the different behavior of space charge in neat epoxy resin and nanocomposites is discussed.","PeriodicalId":432404,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129939325","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}

From the dipole moment of the system the dielectric constant was computed. From the autocorrelation function of the total dipole moment the dielectric losses were computed. In order to decrease the wall clock time of the simulations a multi-scale model was developed which speeds up the calculations.

Electrode geometry can be designed to improve distribution and lower peak magnitudes of electrical fields. However, this is not sufficient in many cases. In order to influence the distribution of the field within the insulation medium and its surroundings, a number of techniques were introduced for bushing, cable terminations and electrical machines. These include semi-conducting and specialist grading materials. In recent years, the development of zinc oxide (ZnO) microvaristors has allowed a further opportunity for field control, in particular, in outdoor insulators and cable terminations applications. This paper gives an overview of the fabrication process of ZnO microvaristors loaded grading compound materials for electrical field control and details an experimental approach to characterize the material. Further analysis was carried out to obtain the electrical properties of the material, such as conductivity and permittivity as a function applied voltage. An application to outdoor insulators is proposed and modelled.","PeriodicalId":432404,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127945744","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 a very complex issue due to many factors i.e. modelling and design difficulties, unknown environmental stress, non-uniform distribution of pollution on insulator surface and different pollution levels in different regions. The deposition of pollution layers on high-voltage (HV) insulator surface is the first stage of pollution flashover. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of dry band formation and its characteristics on HV insulators with different salt mixtures and variable pollution layer thickness. The non-uniformity of the contaminant distribution, wetting and drying process leads to the development and formation of multiple dry bands on the insulator surface. From the test results it is clear that the dry band formation is not uniform with different salt mixtures. COMSOL Multiphysics™ has been used to simulate an insulator surface to find the variation of dry band formation with applied voltage. In particular, this paper aims to obtain a better reproduction method of pollution layers deposited on insulators which is very important to improve the reliability of HV insulators installed near coastal regions.","PeriodicalId":432404,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115803862","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}

Following the EP, the pores partially reseal and calcium concentration initially declines before increasing again across the cell due to diffusion.
