Recently poly(L-lactide) synthesized from starch is attracting much attention as a biodegradable polymer. In this paper, effects of crystallinity on dielectric properties of PLLA were studied by preparing four kinds of PLLA samples with different crystallinities. A thermally stimulated polarization current (TSPC) peak was found to appear in all the samples at temperatures around 65 to 70degC, which is due to the glass transition. The magnitude of the TSPC peak was found to be in the reverse order of crystallinity. This is presumably because the segmental-mode relaxation, which brings about the TSPC, is restricted more as the crystallinity increases. All the samples show two thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) peaks at around 65degC and around 90 to 100degC. The lower-temperature peak seems to be due to the segmental-mode relaxation, while the other due to the normal-mode relaxation. Moreover, all the samples show a drastic increase in the real part of complex permittivity and have a peak in its imaginary part at frequencies from 10-1 to 104 Hz, depending on the measurement temperature. The crystallinity dependencies of the two parts are similar to those of the TSPC and TSDC peaks around 65 to 70degC. Therefore, the increase in the real part and the peak in the imaginary part are ascribable to the segmental-mode relaxation.

Different detection systems based on the pulsed electro acoustic (PEA) method have been developed in the last past few years to study space charge distribution in electron irradiated materials. In particular, a set-up working in contact less mode allowing the measurement to be done in open-circuit (where one surface of the irradiated sample is at a floating potential, so-called "open PEA") has been put forward recently. A reference signal is required in any case in order to get quantitative data. The calibration protocol adopted in the case of the classical PEA method, where the sample is under short-circuit condition, cannot be used any more in the "open" configuration. This paper deals with the description and validation of the procedure used to record a proper reference signal to treat raw data obtained with the "open PEA" set-up. Results recorded under various conditions will be compared.

The analysis of partial discharge (PD) phenomenon to cause long-term degradation of electrical insulation systems is essential to development of electrical insulation technology. The PD pattern on the relation between PD magnitude and the phase of applied voltage is well known one of the electrical insulation diagnosis methods for high voltage equipment. In the general, an acquired PD pattern from equipments is compared with accumulated data base which provides the correlation between the PD pattern and insulation status like degradation or defects. However, clarification for generation of such PD pattern based on physics is not yet of satisfactory. The PD patterns within an internal void generally consist of several PDs of continuance in half cycle within void. It became clear by the past research that the formation of the following PD differs from the first PD within one half cycles in the continuous PD's. It was considered that the following PD seems to turn to the Townsend-like PD from the Streamer-like PD under the influence of first PD. In this study, we studied the first and the following PD more in detail in terms of the PD current waveforms applying a square or triangle wave high voltage. The results suggested that the PD properties depend on applied voltage and its frequency but independent from applied offset voltage. It was also proved that the first PD provides the influence to the following PD.

We have so far performed multistress acceleration test (EdF Test:) for SiR (silicone rubber) insulators, which were found to still keep good hydrophobicity even after 5000 hour testing time equivalent to about 10 years for outdoor exposure test in a heavy polluted area [1]. The two tests' results indicate that one should consider non-soluble material in an accelerated pollution test so as to exactly simulate the practical conditions. From this point of view, we have developed a new automatic artificial pollution acceleration test system (AAPATS) which incorporates non-soluble material pollution to cause hydrophobicity decrease of the surface of SiR under virtually practical environments [2]. We evaluated non-soluble material pollution characteristics of SiR finished with various surface nano-coating processings aiming to enhance hydrophobicity of the material suffering from repeated pollution for a long term. The surface of material in the form of plates was treated with nano-coating by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). In this paper, we investigate hydrophobicity improvement properties of SiR material with the surface nanocoating treatment after suffering the repeated non-soluble material pollution by AAPATS.

Corona onset voltage is an important parameter corresponding to corona characteristics. Existing onset voltage measurement methods can not distinguish the partial onset voltage and the onset voltage of transmission conductor. Based on analyzing corona onset and development process, a novel estimate method using current coefficient was presented to estimate DC onset voltage in this paper. The current coefficient method and other three methods were used to estimate corona onset voltage of smooth conductor and ACSR in four surface statuses.

To research the effect of temperature and humidity on audible noise generated from UHV DC transmission lines, a mini corona cage has been constructed and put in a manual environment room, which temperature and humidity can be controlled. At the same time, an audible noise performance measuring system by using A/C weighted network audible noise meter and 8 kHz acoustic sensor have been set up too. The audible noise generated from a copper line have been measured in a mini corona cage not only at different humidity from 30% to 95% but also at different temperature from 0degC to 30degC. The relationship between audible noise level and temperature and humidity have been observed.

Power transformer service availability is influenced by a condition of insulating and cooling medium - by transformer oil properties. The transformer is subjected to many untypical situations arising casually or due to changed operation conditions. Between the casual phenomena belongs e.g. an unbalanced loading, which causes phases overload etc. These situations reflect on the properties of cooling medium. Parameters such as an excessive formation of gasses in transformer oil, an increase of water presence in the oil or changes of temperature distribution along the winding of transformer can be changed during the operation. Monitoring of these changes is performed in our experimental department, which was developed directly for this purpose. Tested transformer is equipped with sensors for mentioned parameters monitoring. Information obtained from laboratory testing of the experimental transformer will be useful for assessment of processes proceeding in common operation of these devices.

Dielectric caps are used as wildlife protection measures on a new line of switching devices in order to satisfy service continuity needs and environmental requirements. Fog chamber tests were used to check and evaluate the performance of six different wildlife protection caps, positioned on their insulators, and outfitted with the appropriate connecting cables. The length of the test cycle was three weeks. During their performance evaluation, the energized insulators were exposed cyclically to salt fog. The energizing voltage was (27/1.73) = 15.6 kV(rms). Deionized water was used to produce the salt fog, with appropriate amount of salt added, to simulate a "heavy" contamination environment. The six insulators together with their caps were energized continuously for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The performance of two dielectric caps satisfied the expectations. The performance of dielectric caps made of various materials, and the design of the caps in terms of their shape and other aspects are described.

In spite of the growing maturity of silicon carbide (SiC) technology, several difficulties still remain and limit its use for high temperature applications up to 200degC. Due to its excellent physical properties, SiC material offers the ability to design electronic devices working at junction (or ambient) temperature and at power level much higher than those of the present silicon based semiconductors. Thus, the environment of the SiC die will endure severe electrical and thermal stresses. Particularly, the passivation layer must present good thermal stability of its dielectric strength, which must remain high enough to ensure a proper electrical insulation on top of the SiC surface. In this study, polyimide material has been chosen as a candidate for SiC power device passivation. This paper presents the changes of the dielectric strength of a BPDA/PPD polyimide for temperatures ranging up to 400degC.

We study the two-dimensional electroconvection between two plates from the theoretical and numerical point of view. We use two sets of numerical techniques to analyze this problem. On one hand, Particle-in-Cell techniques for simulating the charge distribution combined with Finite Elements for computing the velocity and electrical fields. On the other hand, Flux Corrected Transport for the charge and Finite Elements for the fields. We perform numerical simulations both for weak and strong injection beyond the linear stability threshold. The results seem to indicate that the one-roll finite amplitude solution assumed in previous both linear and non-linear stability analysis is not always stable.
