Modifications of the electrostatic probe techniques of Forster [1,2] and of Bloor and Morant [ 3 ] have been used to study the influence of additives, including extended chain ions such as sodium dodecyl sulfate ( S D S ) and dissolved polymers, on the distribution of electric potential C#J(X) across low conductivity liquids between parallel electrodes. The systems studied include toluene with dissolved polystyrene and n-octanol with dissolved SDS. It is thought that these s stems reflect some of the conditions relevant to transrormer fluids and also may be of significance in biophysical considerations [ 4 ] . The distribution of space charge p(x) is estimated by the application of Poisson's equation to the measured potential function @(x). From such data implications can be made about the effects of molecular interactions.
对Forster[1,2]以及Bloor和Morant[3]的静电探针技术进行了改进,用于研究添加剂(包括扩展链离子,如十二烷基硫酸钠(S D S)和溶解聚合物)对平行电极之间低电导率液体上电位c# J(X)分布的影响。所研究的体系包括甲苯与溶解聚苯乙烯和正辛醇与溶解SDS。据认为,这些系统反映了与转化流体相关的一些条件,也可能在生物物理学方面具有重要意义[4]。将泊松方程应用于测量的势函数@(x),估计了空间电荷p(x)的分布。从这些数据可以推断出分子相互作用的影响。

Fatty acid films may provide a good substitute as dielectric medium for MIS (metal-insulator-semionductor) technology. This paper discusses capacitance vs voltage (C-V) characteristics of metal/stearic acid/semiconductor devices formed on p-type silicon with thin native silicon dioxide (Si/sub 2/) layers. Variable frequency C-V plots display anomalous frequency dispersion in the negative bias voltage region and a reduction of the dispersion in the positive bias region. This can be attributed to the formation of interface states at the SiO/sub 2//stearic acid insulator boundary. C-V characteristics of MIS samples which have been subjected to thermal stress are also discussed. In these studies we have observed both a voltage and capacitance shift with respect to the unstressed specimens. The observed voltage shift is presumably due to the presence of mobile space charges moving to the SiO/sub 2//stearic acid boundary. The shift in capacitance in the stressed samples may have been caused by annealing of stearic acid films when they undergo thermal stress.

The role of ions in the treeing process appears crucial to the understanding of water treeing [l] and has been extensively studied. widely found [1,2]. An increased ionic concentration has been found both in the visibly treed region and also just in front of the tree 131. The presence of ions and possible morphological changes in the treed material imply that the electrical properties of the stressed material may also have some ion-specific behaviour.

1.Introduction In general, it is known that a life time of dry type transformer is reduced remarkably by partial discharges. The quality of insulation is kept constant as possible in the factory, but sometimes it is scattered by some reasons. The reliability of the products is much influenced by scatters of the quality. Therefore, it is very important to predict the life time of the products. So far it was done by measuring a withstand voltage. However, the withstand voltage test means a destruction of the products, so it is necessary to predict the life time by using undestructive tests. As an undestructive test, the magnitude of the partial discharge will be adaptable to an expert system for life time prediction. General expert systems were based on some threshold value, which did not have an objective meaning. So it is necessary to evaluate more objectively. By using an expert system with fuzzy clustering, it can be done to make a judgment taking the interactions of each data into considerat ion. Even if a characteristic of life time is not clear, this type of expert systems can establish an optimum expert with learning, and can watch not only the products but also the relationship between conditions of manufacturing machines and life. However, fuzzy clustering has a flaw that if data numbers increases, handling time becomes extremely long. So, it can not to do real time diagnosis of the products in manufacturing line. Therefore, we apply a high speed algorism using DSP (Digital Signal Processor) with high calculating speed to our expert system. In this paper, we suggest a diagnosis expert system for the life time of transformers by using fuzzy clustering and describe a method of prediction of life time in the manufacturing line.

Electrical stress in the presence of water, ionic contaminants and oxidation products may cause water tree growth in medium voltage polymeric insulated cables. The water trees may either be in the form of vented trees which grow from the semi-conducting screen interfaces o r bowtie trees which grow from defects in the bulk of the insulation. This water tree growth may cause a decrease in the electric strength of the cable, thereby increasing the probability of failure. A large number of studies have, therefore, been carried out into examining the phenomenon of water treeing jn medium voltage cables[l-3].

Several of the transformer failures which have been attributable to static electrification have occurred within a few hours of energization in the absence of known system overvoltages. This suggests that perhaps thermal processes having a long time constant have been involved with the accumulation of static charge, since the electrification process is known to be a function of temperature [I]. Since temperature affects most of the factors involved, the predominant variable by which temperature influences charge accumulation (mobility, viscosity, conductivity, etc.) is not always evident.

Samples of polyethylene with electrical trees at the tip of a needle radius/9 mm gap) molded into the material were subjected to voltage impulses of between 50 and 85 kV (20 ns/2 /spl mu/s). The light emitted from the partial discharges was recorded with a streak camera. Light was emitted for less than 20 ns for a positive impulse of 70 kV. The recorded light was located in the region of the electrical tree and the "length" of the recorded light increased with the growth of the tree. There was degradation of the emitting region after many impulses, except in one branch. The rate of growth of the electrical tree leading to final breakdown depends also on the mechanical stress applied sample.
