With the increasing operating voltages of power systems, the reliability of insulating systems which depends on the defects within the insulation becomes more and more important. It is necessary to develop an accurate, simple and reliable method for defect detection. In this paper, an acoustic signal analysis method for detection of defects in insulation systems based on wavelet transforms is introduced. Some applications of wavelet transforms in detection of defects in insulating systems are given.

We measure the creepage breakdown characteristics of printed wiring boards in silicone gel and obtain an experimental equation. This equation allows us to consider separately the different factors (creepage distance, intrinsic capacity, relative permittivity, insulation layer thickness and electrode location) affecting breakdown voltage. Further, we are able to predict accurately the breakdown limit of insulation in two planes.

This paper describes the results of the residual AC breakdown voltage investigated using different initial voltage steps for dry-cured power XLPE cables. Also we investigated the cause of the breakdown and the starting points of the electrical-trees which occurred. Based on the relationship between the residual AC breakdown voltages and the starting points of electrical-trees, we will discuss the influence of the initial voltage step on the residual AC breakdown voltage.

The resistivity and dielectric constant and their dependence on frequency and temperature were measured in order to clarify the change of aggregations with carbon loading. It has been suggested that there are conducting paths related to networks and branches related to dielectric constant above the percolation threshold where resistivity shows a PTC. It has been concluded that the behavior of branches for temperature is independent of that of conducting paths and branches are formed with weak aggregations. In high carbon loading, isolated carbon aggregations change into conducting paths and branches with heating and that contributes to a part of the negative temperature coefficient of resistance and the increment of /spl epsiv/r'.

It is shown that when the thermoplastic polymer polyethersulfone (PES) is irradiated by /spl gamma/-rays, the DC conduction current and thermally stimulated current (TSC) decrease. This is probably because the progress of crosslinking induced by the irradiation hinders the transport of ions.

High speed Schlieren photography was used to investigate the process in which an impulse breakdown might propagate across the surface of artificial rainwater. Contrary to its well known conductivity dependence, the streamer discharge in acid rain revealed no significant changes in this experimental condition when the pH value of the electrolyte was altered.

Using the fact that under irradiation by a laser beam, black contaminants, microvoids and translucent impurities in XLPE insulation display different characteristics of light extinction and scattering, the relationships of detected pulse polarity with kinds of defects and the pulse width and amplitude with the size of the defects are found. Therefore, the detected signal can be applied for measuring and recognizing defects with the aid of a computer. The instrument for defect detection in bulk XLPE insulation is presented in this paper. It is shown in test results that the resolution of detection is 40 /spl mu/m in HV XLPE samples with volume 33.6 cm/sup 3/ at temperature 109/spl deg/C.

Time series data of typical tree type discharges are analyzed from the viewpoint of whether a discharge pulse phase affects the next discharge pulse phase. Contrary to an expectation from the Whitehead model, there seem to be no mutual relationship between a pulse phase and the next pulse phase. On the other hand, the average phase of a discharge pulse group in a half cycle has a slight tendency to affect that in the next half cycle. The time series information of practical tree discharges are analyzed by using test data of a 66-kV cross-linked polyethylene cable with an artificial defect.

In this paper, we simulated 3D tree patterns with the field controlled random nature and used the parameters Vapp (applied voltage), Vd (potential drop in a tree channel), Ec (critical field for tree propagation) and /spl eta/ (the relation between local field and growing probability). As a result, the various shapes of tree patterns are obtained and the model holds more physical realizations.
