Robalino","doi":"10.1109/CEIDP.2011.6232644","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CEIDP.2011.6232644","url":null,"abstract":"Typically, dissipation factor (DF) or power factor (PF) test is carried out in the field following well known procedures. It is not necessary to emphasize the importance of dielectric test for power system operators. Accurate recording of insulation temperature values during the test is critical but not always feasible in the field. DF measured values are later normalized to a 20°C base for future comparison and trending. Nevertheless, as stated in several international publications, accuracy of temperature correction is still under investigation because temperature correction factors (TCF) from reference tables do not consider the percentage moisture concentration of the insulation system. The existing Temperature Correction Tables correspond to a variety of insulation materials and construction of different high voltage electrical equipment and components. Therefore, the application of state-of-the-art technologies to determine “specific” temperature correction factors for DF, is essential to provide reliable interpretation of results and proper equipment condition assessment. Frequency Domain Spectroscopy (FDS) in conjunction with DF Analysis are a powerful tool to determine the percentage moisture concentration in solid insulation capable to estimate Individual Temperature Compensation (ITC) of DF measured data of power transformers. Throughout this document, field experience is summarized when a three-winding transformer is removed from service and put to a series of testing procedures including DF, FDS and tip-up test on the high voltage bushings. Results of the analysis, experimental data and conclusions made based on the obtained results are presented herein.","PeriodicalId":6317,"journal":{"name":"2011 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"43 1","pages":"251-254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87338016","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}

Chemical modification of the oil enhanced the physico-chemical properties of the fluid. This paper presents the statistical analysis of the AC electrical breakdown strength of the synthesized esters in comparison with the crude palm kernel oil sample. The breakdown test was carried out in accordance with ASTM 1816 test method using a bespoke test cell designed for small sample volume. The estimated characteristic breakdown strength of the esters, defined as the 63.2% cumulative failure probability, is significantly higher than the BS148 mineral oil. The slopes, indicating the shape parameters, are similar. The results suggest that, at least in this regard, the synthesized esters may serve as an alternative to mineral oil as a transformer fluid.","PeriodicalId":6317,"journal":{"name":"2011 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"38 1","pages":"183-186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85324516","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}

On the other hand the measurement results and, in the same manner, their identification and interpretation can be different, because this is depending on the measurement or evaluation conditions. Therefore some typical corona basic arrangements representing corona needle-plane, needle-plane with insulating material and needle-sphere are investigated. The measurements are carried out under different measurement conditions especially the selected frequency range of the measuring system. For some effects the reproducibly, the voltage dependence and the changes over time of the PD behaviour are investigated. These results were evaluated using the applied and the updated version of IEC 60270. Furthermore the IEC 60270 and additional publications provide a lot of possible of the post evaluation of the measured PD signals. In this paper the most and most recognized values are compared at the well defined laboratory set ups as defined. Additional these results are compared with the results of the Pulse-Sequence-Analyzing method. The presented results show surprisingly characteristic shapes of the PD pattern, which allow the better classification of the types of PD sources and their identification respectively.","PeriodicalId":6317,"journal":{"name":"2011 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"1 1","pages":"275-279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80714658","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}

Crosslinking will lead to enhance both dimensional stability at elevated temperatures and physical integrity under high electrical stress of the compounds for HV and EHV power cables. Thermal decomposition of organic peroxides from cable compounds in cable fabrication process will retain some of decomposition byproducts within the compounds, which increase dielectric loss and generate voids as cable defects. The productivity for the high quality power cable manufacturing depends on optimization of production rates from extrusion, thermal treatments for crosslinking and cooling, and degassing. In this study, it is investigated about distribution of various types of decomposition byproducts levels in XLPE insulation in high voltage cables under the incomplete crosslinking condition from the continuous vulcanization (CV) process. It is correlated for mechanical and crosslinking properties of the insulation.

Before the experiments, the PVDF films were dried and thermally annealed. The sub-micrometer films on substrates show clear ferroelectric hysteresis behavior. A remanent polarization of about 60 mC/m2 was detected by means of two independent methods: Non-linear current-voltage characteristics and time-dependent current response after application of voltage steps. The coercive field decreases from 190 to 165 MV/m when the width of triangular bipolar/unipolar electric-field cycles increases from 3 to 300 ms. Quasi-static pyroelectricity increases from 14 to 18 μC/(m2 K) between -20 and +40 °C. X-ray diffraction prove that the ionic liquid enhances the crystallinity. The dipolar interaction between anions of the ionic liquid and CH2 groups in the PVDF chain during spin coating is considered to facilitate the formation of the β phase.","PeriodicalId":6317,"journal":{"name":"2011 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"43 1","pages":"710-713"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78931211","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}
