In this study, octa glycidyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OG POSS) was incorporated into an epoxy matrix (a) by considering it as a co-monomer (requiring stoichiometric compensation) and (b) by considering it as a silica-based filler (simple addition without compensation). The simple addition of OG POSS resulted in a considerable glass transition temperature (Tg) decrease due to impaired stoichiometry, while the stoichiometric addition moderated this effect. These results, supported by the dielectric data, demonstrate that OG POSS is better considered as a co-monomer.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"43 1","pages":"594-597"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86331879","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}

Two layers of PTFE filter paper and one layer of polypropylene (PP) film were processed into sandwich structure through hot-press method. Experimental results show that the dielectric loss can be cut to half by replacing KP with PTFE filter in AC HTS transmission system. The trap level of PTFE/PP composite insulation is shallower. The surface discharge voltage of PTFE/PP is higher than that of PPLP. PTFE/PP also has stronger ability of resisting partial discharge and shows higher partial discharge inception voltage than PPLP does. And the breakdown voltage of PTFE/PP composite insulation is higher than that of PPLP, which mainly due to the stronger resistance to discharge.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"52 1","pages":"621-624"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83957495","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}

PTFE nozzle is important in circuit breaker which faces the problem of arc ablation, and the nozzle with better performance is helpful to improve the transmission voltage. In this paper, in order to study the influence of different pressing pressures and modes on the ablation performance of PTFE/BN composites, four pressures and two modes were adopted (cold isostatic pressing and mould pressing) to obtain 7-wt% BN doped PTFE composites. As the pressing pressure increases, the ablation amount of the specimen decreases gradually. Compared with mould pressing, the specimen prepared by cold isostatic pressing has a higher thermal conductivity and lower ablation amount, while the light reflection properties are almost the same for both preparing methods. This paper is of great significance to improve the ablation resistance of nozzle materials.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"38 1","pages":"146-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82725367","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}

Two complementary characterization techniques were used to track changes in EPDM crystalline structure during thermal aging. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis was performed to measure the variation of the melting enthalpy $Delta H_{m}$. To highlight the modifications induced on the crystalline and amorphous fractions of the EPDM structure, we carried out X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The results of both methods agree in the time and temperature dependence of the aging process. The results show that the crystallinity is improved when aging is carried out at a low temperature. When temperature increases, minor changes in the crystallinity occur at the end of the aging process. At the highest aging temperature, a drop in the crystallinity occurs from the first hours of aging, indicating a degradation of the molecular structure of the polymer.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"12 1","pages":"586-589"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90342208","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 experimental results show that the fluorinated surface layer has a high barrier to water vapor ingress into the interior of the SIR, so that the surface fluorinated sample has a much lower absorption of moisture in comparison with the virgin sample under the same conditions. SEM images show that the fluorination leads to the formation of a fluorinated surface layer with a thickness of 0.56 $mu m$ and a nanostructured surface. The improvement of the barrier properties is attributed to a decrease in free volume of the surface layer as well as the increase in surface hydrophobicity by the fluorination, as indicated by contact angle measurements and ATR-IR and XPS analyses.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"15 1","pages":"566-569"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88834447","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 two phenomena were traditional considered be affected by different factors. However, in the present study, the inherent correlation between surface flashover and gas breakdown strength was revealed. Experimentally epoxy resin composites with a thickness of 1 mm and diameter of 50 mm were prepared. Surface flashover voltages were measured for DC voltage in different pressure and temperature. Gas breakdown voltages were tested in a same condition. With temperature decreases or pressure increases, both gas breakdown voltage and surface flashover voltage increase. However, the growth rate is different for the two voltages. Gas breakdown voltage increases faster than surface flashover voltage. The ratio of flashover voltage to gas breakdown voltage decrease with gas pressure increase. This work investigates the relationship between surface flashover and gas breakdown by considering gas adsorption. It was found that sample gas adsorption capacity can affect the surface flashover voltage, but a saturation point exists. When the adsorbed gas molecules of samples reach saturation, the effect of adsorption on surface flashover performance is less than the effect of pressure on gas breakdown voltage.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"13 11","pages":"794-797"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91405823","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}

Excessive circulating currents, generated on the metal sheath of single-core high-voltage cable, bring massive loss which will reduce cable transmission efficiency and safe operating lifetime. In this paper, the cable with cross-bonding mode was established based on ATP-EMTP. Through the simulation analysis, the relationships between the circulating current and the arrangement, segment and core current were obtained. The variations of circulating current and sheath voltage in case of the cable faults (short circuit, open circuit, commutation failure) were discussed. And the suppressing methods by using the series resistance, inductance and impedance were proposed to restrain the circulating currents. The results obtained show that the circulating currents are linearly related to the section length, arrangement and core current, which change significantly in case of short circuit, open circuit and commutation failure. The series resistance and inductance have effective suppressing effects not only on the steady state circulating currents but also on the transient circulating currents.

The results highlight the importance of using liquids with high enough initial moisture content and also demonstrate that the moisture saturation curve is mostly unchanged by changing the temperatures used in calculation. The results also show that ageing the synthetic ester in different ways did not significantly affect the moisture saturation curve, however ageing the natural ester open to air led to an increase in measured saturation limit at all temperatures when it was heavily oxidised.
