After a short review of the conventional cumulative aging theory, it is pointed out that residual breakdown data do not always obey the theory, and that the internal change observed with SEM (scanning electron microscopy) seems to reflect on the measured values. To explain the phenomena comprehensively, the concept of 'defect distribution X' is introduced. Breakdown voltage and nondestructive parameters are shown to be derived from the distribution X. An example of a simulation is presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6450,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Properties and Applications of Dielectric Materials","volume":"35 1","pages":"769-772 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86424174","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 concluded that, with testing, care must be taken to accelerate the right process, because many parameters influence the growth rate of water trees.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6450,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Properties and Applications of Dielectric Materials","volume":"33 1","pages":"214-217 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89060711","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 data obtained from the investigations have been used to calculate a new index called the cumulative characteristic factor, which uniquely grades the material and insulation systems exposed to permanently elevated humidity conditions. To assess the long-term behavior, endurance tests were also conducted with a newly designed environment cycle representing tropical climatic conditions. Based on the accelerated test data, a system model has been developed for predicting the insulation life. To validate the laboratory aging tests, a 11 kV current transformer was installed in a highly humid region in Madras City, India. The place of installation was a switchgear plant for air conditioning purposes. From the experimental investigations and model developed it was concluded that in the presence of permanently elevated humidity conditions bisphenol epoxy resins are susceptible to severe surface degradation within 2 to 3 years of installation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6450,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Properties and Applications of Dielectric Materials","volume":"18 1","pages":"711-714 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83791194","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}

When the film was placed on the plane anode, the breakdown voltage of the composite with the ramp voltage was less than that for oil alone for both electrode systems as long as the film thickness was thin. Although the breakdown of the film due to charge deposition caused the complete breakdown of the composite for both systems, there was a difference in the transition process from the film breakdown to the complete breakdown. For both electrode systems, when the film was placed on the plane cathode, the increasing rate of the breakdown voltage with the increase in the film thickness was less than that for the film on the anode. In the point-plane system though the film breakdown was brought about by the charge deposition, it could not cause the complete breakdown. The breakdown of the composite was completed by the positive propagation from the point anode. In the plane-plane system, the magnitude of depositing positive charges on the film was too little to cause film breakdown under the ramp voltage. The complete breakdown was induced by the discharge in oil.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6450,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Properties and Applications of Dielectric Materials","volume":"89 1","pages":"1181-1184 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86666446","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 DC leakage current, DC component, and low-frequency component of the charging current were found to vary in a complex manner, depending on the applied voltage and its history.

The energy of activation involved in the accelerated oxidation of uninhibited and inhibited oils deduced from the analysis of data is reported. Estimated lives of oils at the operating temperatures of the transformer are also reported. An addition of BTA to the extent of 1/10 to 1/15 the concentration of DBPC gives about the same improvement in the life of new oil as that of new oil inhibited with DBPC. Similar results are obtained in the case of reclaimed oil.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6450,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Properties and Applications of Dielectric Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":"732-735 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89639998","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}

Aging conditions were 10 kV/mm, 60 Hz, 0.05 M NaCl solution, and 22-23 degrees C. The results indicate that after 8000 h of aging the lab-water-tree length reaches 65-70% of the sample thickness and is not much affected by the presence of field water trees.
