Various nano-fillers are added to improve the performance of epoxy composites. With the ultimate goal to enhance the surface flashover performance, two different types of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanometric molecular structure is doped into neat epoxy. Surface flashover voltage has been tested under DC voltage in SF6 gas. Isothermal surface potential decay (SPD) test were conducted to find out the surface charge characteristics. Quantum chemical calculation was performed to investigate the absolute energy value of Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) level for epoxy/POSS composite, associated to electron affinity for charge carriers. Results specifies that flashover voltage has been positively influenced by both trap energy and trap density of charges. While improved flashover performance of EP/OG-POSS composite compared to EP/ECH-POSS and pristine sample is attributed to deep traps for charges. The energy distribution diagram shows that EP/OG-POSS has higher affinity for charge carrier in EP/OG-POSS comparatively. The affinity for carriers assists the charge trapping centers. Moreover, functional properties of POSS side groups can determine the tailoring of deep trap; moreover, the simulated electronic properties are helpful to understand the improved properties of surface flashover voltage.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"21 1","pages":"110-113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77913686","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}

During service, the DC cables have to bear harsh conditions as they have to endure high temperatures, mechanical and atmospheric stresses. Out of these stresses, the thermal stress is a constant stress in which the cables are exposed to causing degradation in the insulation and jacket of the cable. This could reduce the service life of the cable insulation and may result in embrittlement, cracking and eventual failure of the insulation, and risking a possible short circuit. This paper has been aimed to study the overall degradation of the low voltage photovoltaic unshielded DC cables under thermal stress by adopting dielectric spectroscopy and hardness as non-destructive condition monitoring techniques. The cables were accelerated thermally aged under 120°C temperature for seven cycles. The insulation and jacket were kept intact and the overall state of the cable was examined. The significant variation in the real and imaginary part of permittivity was observed at low frequency, 0.01 Hz. While with aging the cable became harder, showing the sign of degradation in the cable. The results show the potential capability of the techniques to be used as diagnostic techniques for the low voltage unshielded cables.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"32 1","pages":"13-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75138045","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}
