For this respect, there is an urgent need for better understanding of partial discharge (PD) mechanisms at different locations in GIS. In the current work, the PD inception characteristics at electrode/epoxy interface at insulating spacer in GIS, which represents one of the most critical defects in GIS, are obtained and investigated with different gap lengths, 50~500 mum. Partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) and electric field (PDIE) are measured and analyzed regarding PD inception mechanism in SF6 gas. Also the dependence of PDIV on repetitive number of PD pulses is obtained and discussed from the viewpoint of accumulated charge on the epoxy surface.","PeriodicalId":6381,"journal":{"name":"2008 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"22 1","pages":"435-438"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81503256","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}

While cable manufacturer or high voltage laboratories are able to measure in shielded environments, where noise levels are insignificant, PD detection and location at power cable lines on-the-field are hampered variously by different interferences and noise. The time domain reflectometry (TDR) is a standard technique for the location of PD in power cables. There, pulses traveling along a cable and their reflections are observed. For offline power cable PD measurement methods, where cables under test are disconnected from service, it is essential to determine the delay time between direct and reflected PD pulse to estimate the ignition point (PD site). With the help of algorithms for arrival time estimation, like peak or onset detection, it is possible to gather such delay times in an automated way, assuming a good signal-to-noise-ratio and a sufficiently high sampling frequency. To get rid of noise, modern de-noising techniques, like the wavelet transform, can be used. The Paper is presenting and comparing enhanced signal processing tools for arrival time estimation and de-noising concerning location accuracy, noise sensitivity and robustness for automated cable PD location software.","PeriodicalId":6381,"journal":{"name":"2008 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"394 1","pages":"525-527"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76605524","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 insulation was subjected to over 5000 hours of ageing. Every 2500 hours, the insulation performance was evaluated by the leakage current, corona and electric field techniques. During the evaluation, evidence of tracking, erosion or puncture was observed on the insulation.

The effect of high frequency attenuation is well understood through both measurement and computation, which cannot be said of dispersion. The electromagnetic propagation velocity as a function of frequency in concentric neural distribution cable has been computed from measured material properties, from which the dispersion deduced. The computed dispersion is in reasonable agreement measurements in the literature. The effect of dispersion on PD pulse propagation has been evaluated, including coupling between dispersion and high frequency attenuation, which are both functions of the same material parameters. The analysis indicates that dispersion causes a Gaussian PD pulse (at the source) to evolve into an asymmetric shape with faster rise than fall. The difference in pulse peak time of arrival with and without dispersion has been computed numerically, and a simple analytical basis for predicting this offset has been developed.","PeriodicalId":6381,"journal":{"name":"2008 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"51 1","pages":"427-430"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77475335","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}
