The procedure of the consideration to obtain τ, and measurement results of AC- and DC-XLPE are shown in this article. To consider τ efficiently and effectively, a parameter “charge ratio” was introduced. The charge ratio means a ratio of Q(tm) which is a charge amount Q(t) at a certain measurement time tm and Q(0) which is an initial rise of voltage application, that is Q(tm)/Q(0). The obtained τ is 300 s for AC-XLPE and more than 28800 s (8 h) for DC-XLPE at 60°C under 60 kV/mm.","PeriodicalId":6751,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Electrical Insulating Materials (ISEIM)","volume":"41 1","pages":"166-168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80642281","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 surface insulating materials of spacecraft are charged because of exposing by such high energy charged particles. This charging phenomenon is the origin of the electrostatic discharge and may lead to the fatal error of those operations. For the improving the reliability of spacecraft operation, we should understand charge accumulation phenomena based on the real surface condition. Therefore, our grope and other researchers have tried to develop systems to measure the surface and bulk charges of materials. As the results, we developed new space charge measurement equipment using the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method. That system can apply the pulsed electric filed to the sample through the vacuum gap using a grid electrode located 125 μm above the sample. Electrons through the grid electrode to the sample. Therefore, this apparatus can measure the surface and internal charge accumulation in the bulk of materials. Although we had measured only internal charge accumulation by the conventional PEA method, we obtained a seamless charge profile from the surface to internal of the sample by such newly developed system. In this report, we measured space charge distribution in the fluorinated materials by above developed system under electron irradiation. We found the following results. The negative charge accumulation distributed from the irradiation surface to penetration depth in the bulk. The amount of irradiated electrons accumulation was more than 30 times as much as the results obtained by a conventional measurement system. From those results, the space charge distribution has been able to measure under conditions consistent with close to actual use.","PeriodicalId":6751,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Electrical Insulating Materials (ISEIM)","volume":"96 1","pages":"486-489"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76213494","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}

Safety-related EPs, which are categorized as “severe-accident (SA) equipment,” are required to maintain their intended functions under various SA environmental conditions after having been aged under the normal operating conditions throughout their service lives. To investigate the insulation performance of EPs in a SA environment, we tested two EPs that are equivalent to those used in pressurized water reactors in Japan. One EP specimen was pre-aged in a concurrent thermal and radiation environment at 100°C and 100 Gy/h for several thousand hours to simulate the degradation induced during the designated service period. The other EP specimen was used without pre-aging. To simulate the degradation induced by radiation during a SA, the EPs were irradiated with gamma rays to a total dose of 500 kGy at a dose rate of 7 kGy/h. Subsequently, the EP specimens were exposed to saturated steam at 155°C and 0.45 MPaG for 168 h. The electrical insulation resistance between the insulated cores of cables in each EP specimen were monitored during the steam exposure. The minimum insulation resistances that we measured during the steam exposure for EP specimens with and without the pre-aging are about 109 and 108Ω, respectively, confirming that they retain sufficiently good insulation performance.","PeriodicalId":6751,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Electrical Insulating Materials (ISEIM)","volume":"13 1","pages":"225-228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87143736","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}
