In this paper, the space charge behaviors in a 0.5mm thick oil film combined with a 1mm thick impregnated pressboard have been investigated by the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) technique under 12kV/mm and 20kV/mm at room temperature. Two types of oil with different aging status were used for comparison. The results show that a charge peak is quickly formed at the interface between oil and pressboard with the same polarity as the electrode at the oil film side. However, the dynamics of the interfacial charges are very different for fresh oil and aged oil samples. The maximum electric field occurs in the middle of the pressboard, which is significantly enhanced in the aged oil samples. Difference in the electric field between those obtained from measurement results and those calculated from Maxwell-Wagner theory has been discussed.","PeriodicalId":6523,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 18th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"85 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73560747","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}

Whilst ageing tended to reduce the AC breakdown strength and increased the electrical conductivity, one set of thermally aged oils, whose viscosity increased after thermal ageing, exhibited increased breakdown strength. The unexpected effects of oil viscosity on AC breakdown strength were confirmed in separate experiments on an oil of a higher viscosity.","PeriodicalId":6523,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 18th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"23 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82746857","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 this study, a headspace gas chromatography mass spectrometry setup was developed to measure methanol in transformer oil. This setup consists of an auto sampler with a gas tight syringe, a gas chromatography unit with 60 m VF-624ms column and a quadrupole ion trap type mass spectrometer unit. Measurement of several laboratory-aged and service-aged oil samples were conducted with both external standard and internal standard calibration methods. Higher methanol values obtained from internal standard method confirmed that it is more suitable than external standard method.","PeriodicalId":6523,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 18th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88504793","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}

This paper applies non-electrical measuring methods :ultrasonic sensor and photoelectric detection means such as photomultiplier tube (PMT) to test the partial discharge signals. Non-electrical measuring methods have strong ability of resistance to electromagnetic interference. The test results show that the ultrasonic sensor detect the real-time changes of the signal effectively, and the overall trend of the average largest amplitude of ultrasonic pulse will rise with the voltage increases, but the duration and the intensity of each signal may not be detected effectively by this means. However, PMT can be used to detect the intensity of amplitude of the signal under different voltage, and can monitoring the discharge duration sensitively. PMT can be used to measure the amplitude of initial discharge voltage and the initial discharge development time. Its measurement data can provide basis for the optimization of converter transformer insulation structure.","PeriodicalId":6523,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 18th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"77 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74811468","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}

Results indicate that the PD magnitude of Midel 7131 is higher than the other two liquids at the same voltage. At voltages higher than PDIV, those liquids exhibit rather different pulse repetition rates. Midel 7131 has a higher pulse repetition rate than the other two liquids at the same voltage. As a result of increasing the relative moisture content of the liquid samples to 50%, it has been observed that the pulse repetition rates of both Gemini X and Diala S4 ZX-I increase, however, in contrast, that of Midel 7131 decreases.","PeriodicalId":6523,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 18th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"21 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79111982","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 simulation was carried out for the needle-plane electrode system. The unsteady-state current passage processes, including electrohydrodynamic flow formation, were calculated. The interrelation between the latter and the total current passing through the electrical circuit were investigated.
