Methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride and Hexahydrophthalic anhydride are the state-of-the-art curing agents in epoxy insulations and are therefore essential components of the insulation system. Both anhydrides were proposed to the candidate list of Substances of Very High Concern and are therefore part of the European REACH authorization process. The prohibition or restricted use of both anhydrides in Europe in the future is possible and puts high pressure on the European manufacturers of electrical devices. Possible substitutes are available, but have to be qualified e.g. with respect to their dielectric properties. Hence, this paper compares several insulating resin systems with and without anhydride curing agents regarding their dielectric loss behavior. The results reveal that the curing agent has a measurable effect on the dielectric losses. Furthermore, the investigated anhydride-free insulation systems are a viable substitute at least with regard to their dielectric losses.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83072624","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}

Here we report on the dielectric properties of an SP network assembled from monomers based on polypropylene oxide (PPO) cores, functionalized with UPy groups. In this work, we measured the DC breakdown strength, dielectric relaxation and electrical conductivity and show that the dielectric properties are similar to those of silicones or silicon-based adhesives.

The IPCs with the typical defect were prepared, including the insufficient contact force, the loose connection, the grease loss, the dampness, and the overload operation and the experimental platform based on UHF partial discharge was built. Obtained results show that the standard installed IPC has the obvious partial discharge, whose amplitude can reach 110 mV and discharge mainly concentrates on the alpha and the gamma quadrant. The defects obviously increase the PD amplitude and have a great influence on the PD characteristic, including the discharge quadrant, times and PRPS. In actual operation, this detection method could be adopted to diagnose the IPC with defect to prevent failure and improve power supply reliability.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"134 1","pages":"822-825"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87709474","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}

However, PD detection proves challenging as the detected signal comes with superimposed noises with various spectrums. One of these common noises that are often present on site is stochastic pulse interference (SPI). This type of noise is random in nature, yet it displays a similar shape to the partial discharge generated pulse and, hence, it becomes difficult to remove (de-noise), while maintaining the original signal intact. In this paper SPI noise is mathematically modeled and is combined with the PD signal for signal processing. The maximal overlap wavelet transform (MODWT) is then used to de-noise the signal using various parameters. Over a wide range of noise magnitude, the parameters that offer best de-noising are subsequently identified. Comparing the MODWT technique with the empirical Bayesian WT (EBWT) proves it to be superior.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"107 1","pages":"834-837"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79326957","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 fluorination of the LSR is not a simple substitution of fluorine atoms for hydrogen atoms of methyl groups or for methyl groups, and during the fluorination besides fluorine atoms there are other reactive species, such as methyl derivatives and their fluorides, which would be also attached to Si or graft to methyl groups via hydrogen replacement. The experimental results show that the fluorinated surface is highly hydrophobic and partially conductive. The flashover tests using a sheet sample/finger electrode arrangement found a more than 60% increase in DC flashover voltage of the LSR material by the fluorination. The simultaneous improvement of surface properties is meaningful for outdoor insulation applications of the material.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"99 1","pages":"150-153"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78551898","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 electric field distortion and energy release during charge injection and extraction at the dielectric/electrode interface significantly change the molecular structure, affecting the dielectric properties, and leading the surface layer a weak point of insulation. In this paper, the damage of polymer dielectric under uniform electric field of repetitive frequency bipolar square-wave voltage was studied. The polyethylene was chosen as the sample since it degrades more easily under the electric field. By comparing the test results of the polyethylene samples before and after the electrical aging process, it was found that the density of the shallow charge traps increased, and the dc breakdown strength decreased significantly while the ac (50 Hz) breakdown voltage was almost unchanged. It proved that the damage of polymer dielectric under the repetitive frequency bipolar square-wave voltage starts at the surface of the dielectric. In addition, it means that dc breakdown strength can be a key feature to characterize the degree of dielectric damage after serving under repetitive frequency bipolar square-wave voltage. The conclusion has also been proved by the electrical aging experiments of epoxy resin and polyimide. This study lay a preliminary foundation for further systematic research on the dielectric damage mechanism under repetitive frequency bipolar square-wave voltage.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"96 1","pages":"81-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82223673","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}
