Addition of nanoparticles into epoxy can improve the insulating properties compared with undoped material. However, due to the change of the material structure, trap characteristics and charge behaviors are altered as a consequence. This possibly leads to a great risk of electric field distortion and discharge that degrades the insulation. From the viewpoint of safety, it is necessary to investigate the charge behavior on epoxy nanocomposites. This paper presents study aimed at clarifying the effect of nano-filler content on surface charge accumulation and decay behaviors of epoxy nanocomposites with SiO2 particles. Samples were prepared by dispersing nano-scale SiO2 into epoxy by mixing with shear force. Corona charging tests were performed at room temperature with a relative humidity of ~ 40%. The charge distribution was measured by means of an electrostatic voltmeter. Obtained results show the dependence of the accumulated charge as well as the charge decay rate upon the concentration of SiO2, varying as a function of the charge polarity, charging time and charging voltage. It is suggested that the charge dynamics is dependent upon the characteristics of localized surface states that are altered by the nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":6375,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Application","volume":"220 1","pages":"194-198"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78484049","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}

The application has been successful in traction and distribution transformers with sealed type. But the susceptibility to oxidation and hence the suspected gelling behaviour prevent the application of natural esters in free-breathing transformers. This paper presents an experimental study of gelling/oxidation behaviour of thin films of a natural ester under thermal ageing. Ageing experiments were carried out with presence of air at different temperatures of 120 °C and 20 °C and durations up to 2 years. The gelling/oxidation behaviour of natural ester was evaluated in terms of changes in viscosity and acidity. Results showed that both viscosity and acidity can be used to assess gelling/oxidation behaviour of natural ester from initial liquid phase to eventually gelled form. In addition to temperature, the thickness of the thin film samples has a significant effect on the gelling speed, i.e. the thinner of the film, the faster of the gelling speed.","PeriodicalId":6375,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Application","volume":"110 1","pages":"643-647"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85768227","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}

The advantages of using nanofillers can be explained by very large interface area of them in comparison with microfillers. To evaluate the influence of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>and also γ-TiO<sub>2</sub>nanofillers separately on a cycloaliphatic epoxy resin system as an outdoor insulation system, specific DC volume resistivity, loss factor and permittivity were investigated. In this regard, several specimens with 2 mm thickness were produced containing 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% and 7% per weight under especial condition to have the most possible homogeneous distribution of nanofillers. Then the behavior of the mentioned parameters was investigated from 23 °C up to 170 °C at different frequencies. According to the results, DC volume resistivity of the specimens with Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> shows higher resistance between 80 °C and 140 °C than the specimens without nanofiller. Adding TiO<sub>2</sub> does not cause considerable changes in volume resistivity. Loss factor has no significant change up to glass transition temperature (Tg), but it reduces at the temperatures above Tg, when Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> or TiO<sub>2</sub> was added. Relative permittivity of the specimens containing Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and TiO<sub>2</sub> were increased up to 110 °C.

Dielectric spectroscopy, as a non-destructive measurement, has been employed for analyzing dielectric properties of material for many years. This paper presents findings from the study on new transformer oil by a frequency domain method. It has been found that the conductivity of the oil calculated from dielectric response in the low frequency range (100Hz~0.001Hz) comprises three stages: two steady states joined by a transient process. Both the distance between the two electrodes of the testing cell and the temperature of oil influence the starting frequency of the transient process. The oil model used to analyze the DC conductivity of oil has been applied to simulate the frequency-dependence conductivity curve and a new factor has been introduced into the model to improve its accuracy. According to this model, the mobility of charge carriers increases with temperature significantly, whilst density of initial charge carriers only increases slightly, indicating the crucial factor that influences the conductivity is the viscosity of the oil.","PeriodicalId":6375,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Application","volume":"151 1","pages":"634-637"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86363742","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}
