Internal discharges in a micro void and external discharges on insulator surface have been created using two specific experimental setups, which allow for observation of single discharges. The light pulses from single discharge events were registered by a photomultiplier. The discharge images have been acquired by an iCCD cameras with single and double stage amplification. Electrical signals have been measured using wideband probes. Two model arrangements have been developed and applied. Results of optical measurements are compared with conventional phase resolved partial discharge (PRPD) patterns. There exist different correlation modes between light intensity and value of partial discharge current, which can be ascribed to different type of PD origins. The comparison of optical and electrical signals shows a good correlation between both detection methods. Analysis of obtained discharge patterns in dependence on used material and electrode polarity is presented. It is shown that optical signals obtained from proper diagnostic devices carry similar information as conventional PRPD diagrams. The results of investigations can be used for development of new PD diagnostics.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"8 1","pages":"850-853"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83468206","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 accord with this, the elongation at break decreases exponentially, while the enthalpy of fusion due to the melting of crystals decreases. When XLPE is exposed to heat and radiation, it is oxidized, which lowers the crystallinity and makes the crystals smaller. As a result, the mechanical properties of XLPE become degraded.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"21 1","pages":"45-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78991293","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}

An equivalent simulation model was constructed and used to investigate the influence of different phenomena. It was demonstrated that surface conduction is likely to play a crucial role in the applied field dynamics, leading to the cessation of PD activity. It also appears that charge deployed by PDs must be undergoing rapid recombination in order to support the high repetition rate in the first 1000 s of the experiment.

Both the normal PEA method and an “on-line” PEA system were employed to detect the space charge profiles after and during the electron irradiation. In view of that, a small size PEA device with a ring high voltage electrode was used for the “on-line” measurement. In addition, the electric conduction was discussed by the RIC theory. Negative charge accumulations were introduced by the irradiated electrons, which increase with the increase of electron energy and density. The behaviors of RIC depend on electron energy, indicating an enhancement with high electron energy. These phenomena are closely related to the charge deposition and electron-hole pairs. High energy and density of the electron beams introduced large amounts of negative charge accumulations. Meanwhile, they contributed to the high level of RIC. Consequently, the space charge would maintain the dynamic equilibrium in polyimide film.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"2 1","pages":"375-378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90158394","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}

Muons are a well-established method for probing materials at the atomic level. They offer a local probe sensitive both to bound molecular charges and to free charge carriers in materials. A muon study to investigate the charge distribution within a composite dielectric - consisting of epoxy, mica and glass fibre components- as a function of the externally applied electric field strength (E-field) is reported. Implanted muons react with the host epoxy molecule, undergo chemical addition at specific locations and probe the local electronic structure. Muon spectra are interpreted through a comparison with the electronic structure calculated using Density Functional Theory.It is shown that the application of an external E-field modifies the form of the observed spectra. It is believed that the effect of an E-field on identified bound charges within the molecule is being observed, suggesting muons are an excellent probe for understanding local charge redistributions in polymeric dielectrics.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"64 1","pages":"562-565"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75549321","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 and after each voltage variation, the electric field in the insulation is mainly driven by permittivity, as in AC, while at steady-state the electric field profile depends on conductivity and, hence, on dielectric material and load. This can impact on aging phenomena and rate, thus on the electro-thermal life of an insulation system. It is, therefore, important to estimate how long it takes for the electric field to reach its steady state condition (i.e. the transient time) upon voltage-time variations. Different methods for estimating the electric field transient time are discussed in this paper, from conductivity and permittivity measurements at high or low fields, as a function of temperature, to partial discharge time evolution. Specimens made by polymeric materials having different conductivities, and containing artificial defects, are used for the experimental validation of those methods.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"770 Pt A 1","pages":"485-488"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77050146","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}
