The test is designed for ac applications and many laboratories have many years of experience with the technique. DC power systems are becoming more important and competitive in the market place. Often insulation systems designed for AC applications are utilised on dc systems. However, there is clear evidence of behavioural differences between identical materials under AC and DC stresses. An equivalent test to IEC-60587, has been developed and utilised for the dc case. A computer-based monitoring system is used to study materials beyond the criteria set by IEC 60587 and this system is reviewed in the paper. A number of different formulations of silicone rubber have been evaluated using the rig described. In this paper particular attention is given to the nature of electrical discharges under different test conditions and how this influences material degradation. Measurements show that the sample degradation mechanism is very different for positive and negative HVDC, while positive DC has shown to be the most aggressive for the materials tested.","PeriodicalId":6381,"journal":{"name":"2008 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"48 1","pages":"196-199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76052186","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}

In our previous paper, we found an interesting packet-like charge behavior in LDPE under high DC electric field of more than 100 kV/mm. It is thought that the huge packet-like charge must strongly affect to breakdown characteristics of LDPE. To analyze the feature of the packet-like charge behavior in LDPE, we have carried out a simple numerical simulation based on the experimental results in the previous paper. In the proposed model, by giving a few parameters of the sample, we can easily simulate the packet-like charge behavior. To investigate which parameter is dominant for the packet-like charge behavior, we attempt to apply our proposed model to various kinds of polyethylene which show different packet-like behavior from that in LDPE. However, the space charge accumulation process in LDPE under around or below 100 kV/mm has not explained using the model yet. From the experimental results, it was identified the space charge spread uniformly in the bulk under relatively low electric stress. To explain the behavior using the proposed model, it is necessary to concern the complicated parameters of charge injection and conductivity distribution. Therefore, as a first step, we tried to fit the numerical simulation results to the actual experimental results.","PeriodicalId":6381,"journal":{"name":"2008 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"163 1","pages":"157-160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86351079","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}

Experiments were also conducted using particulates which were functionalized with Aminopropyltriethoxysilane in order to augment the chemical bonding to the host matrix. The glass transition temperature and decomposition temperature are reported as a function of nanoparticle type and loading. The dielectric strength is provided for both AC and DC voltages.

These particles move randomly in a horizontally mounted GIB system due to the electric field, and this movement plays a crucial role in determining the insulation behavior of gas insulated substations. Under 50-Hz AC voltage, the particle motion is complex, and under appropriate conditions, the particle may cross the gaseous gap from the low-field region near the outer enclosure to the high-field region near the central conductor. For the commonly encountered size of metallic particles in practical gas insulated systems, such a crossing of the gaseous gap takes several cycles of the 50-Hz voltage. In order to determine the particle trajectories in a three-phase common enclosure gas insulated busduct (GIB) an outer enclosure of diameter 500 mm and inner conductors of diameters 64 mm spaced equilaterally are considered. Wire like particles of aluminum, copper as well as silver of a fixed geometry has been considered to be present on enclosure surface of a three-phase busduct. Simulation is carried out for movement of metallic particles in a three-phase busduct with reduced phase conductor diameter with a view to obtain optimum size of conductor for reliable operation. The work is carried out by reducing the original diameter of the conductor from 64 mm to 54 mm in steps of 5 mm.","PeriodicalId":6381,"journal":{"name":"2008 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"30 1","pages":"367-370"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89952169","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}

Assessment of the electrical strength of such interfaces is therefore important for proper design of Subsea accessories. This paper describes breakdown mechanisms due to absorption of water. Emphasis will be put on the experimental examination of the AC 50 Hz breakdown strength of interfaces between the XLPE insulation and transformer oil with variable water content. An experimental test setup has been designed to examine factors that influence the interface's electrical strength according to IEC156 and ASTM D1816 standards.

Two different materials are considered: a class H material, designed to sustain temperatures up to 180degC, and a high conductivity (HC) tape material, which is a class F insulation. The samples were followed in mass and DMA (dynamic mechanical analysis). Similar profiles of mass evolution with various temperature and oxygen pressure contribute to validate the artificial aging procedure. DMA allowed determining the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the epoxy resin and observing the evolution of the network density of the polymeric matrix along aging. Delaminations of a few tens mum thick were observed within the samples after aging.
