In order to study the strong electromagnetic pulse effect of critically vulnerable equipment in power systems and evaluate the survivability under high-altitude electromagnetic pulses, it is necessary to study the characteristics of the transient response of metal oxide arresters to the high-altitude electromagnetic pulse by experiment. In this paper, an experimental platform for high-altitude electromagnetic pulse conduction current injection for a typical 10 kV metal oxide arrester was set up, and the key parameters such as peak value of overshoot voltage, peak value of residual voltage, action voltage and response time were obtained by the experiment. The results show that: the action voltage of this type of metal oxide arrester is 3.53 times higher than that of its rated voltage; the peak value of overshoot voltage is 2.19 times that of the peak value of residual voltage under lightning impulse current; the peak value of residual voltage is 1.57 times that under lightning impulse; and the response time varies little with the electromagnetic pulse conduction current amplitude, averaging 46.86 nanoseconds under a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse conduction environment.

This study focused on the effect of pre-crosslinking on the electrical properties of XLPE insulation for HVDC cables. The XLPE samples were pre-crosslinked at 140, 150 and 160 °C. The space charge and DC breakdown characteristics of the XLPE samples with and without pre-crosslinking were investigated. The results show that the pre-crosslinked XLPE samples have an obvious space charge injection and transportation, resulting in more severe electric field distortion. Under the electric field of 100 kV/mm, the electric field distortion rates of the XLPE samples pre-crosslinked at 150 and 160 °C reached 51% and 72% respectively, which were much higher than that of the XLPE sample without pre-crosslinking (14%.) Compared with the XLPE without pre-crosslinking, the breakdown strengths of XLPE pre-crosslinked at 140, 150 and 160 °C were reduced by 11%, 6% and 7% respectively, at the temperature of 50 °C. It is concluded that the pre-crosslinking leads to imperfect crystallization and micro-defects in the amorphous region of XLPE, thereby leading to more space charge accumulation and reduced DC breakdown. The pre-crosslinking of XLPE insulation therefore should be prevented during HVDC cable manufacturing. Full article

In this work, the vibrations on the surfaces of the tank wall, stiffeners, and the cover of a 5 MVA transformer experimental model were measured during open-circuit and short-circuit transformer tests. Vibration measurements of a transformer tank side were conducted at discrete points using two different voltage sources in no-load test. Using interpolation functions, the RMS values of acceleration and vibration velocity are visualized and compared for each considered measurement configuration (no-load and load tests and two different excitation sources). Significant differences in mode shapes and amplitudes of vibrations at different frequencies are observed. The maximum RMS values of acceleration, velocity and displacement in the open-circuit test are 0.36 m/s2, 0.31 mm/s, and 0.42 µm, respectively. The maximum values in short-circuit test are 0.74 m/s2, 1.14 mm/s, and 1.8 µm, respectively. In the short-circuit test, the frequency component of 100 Hz is dominant. In the open-circuit test, the first few 100 Hz harmonics are significant (100 Hz, 200 Hz, and 300 Hz). In addition to the visualization of RMS values during the open-circuit and short-circuit tests, animations of the vibrations are created. Fourier analysis and phase comparison between frequency components are also used to show vibration animations at dominant frequencies in the spectrum (100 Hz harmonics). The visualization of the vibrations at the tank wall surfaces is transferred into 3D space in such a way that all 15 surfaces are mapped to the spatial coordinates of the surfaces so that a 3D model of the acceleration, vibration velocity, and displacement of the transformer tank is shown.

A converter transformer is important primary equipment in a DC transmission project. The voltage on the valve side winding is complex when the equipment is running, including DC, AC, and AC–DC combined voltage. The insulation structure of the valve side winding of a converter transformer is an oil-paper insulation structure, which may have a variety of defects in the manufacturing stage and daily use, resulting in partial discharge. Therefore, it is the key to studying the partial discharge characteristics and mechanism of oil-paper insulation under AC–DC combined voltage. In this paper, we build a two-dimensional air gap model of oil-paper-insulated pressboard considering the actual particles and actual reaction based on the fluid model. The characteristics and evolution mechanism of partial discharge (PD) in pressboard under different AC/DC combined voltages are studied by numerical simulation. The results show that when the DC component increases, the polarity effect of partial discharge is more obvious, while the potential and discharge intensity in the air gap decrease. Further analysis revealed that the DC component in the combined voltage accumulated a large number of surface charges on the surface of the air gap, and the space charge distribution was more uniform and dispersed, which generated an electric field with opposite polarity to the DC component in the air gap and, then, inhibited the development of local discharge in the paperboard. The results of the simulation are consistent with the previous experimental phenomena, and the mechanism analysis of the simulation results also verifies the previous analysis on the mechanism of experimental phenomena. This will lay a theoretical foundation for the further study of partial discharge phenomenon of oil-paper insulation structures in practical operation in the future. Full article

The substantial improvements in transmission voltage, which have been adopted to meet fast-growing energy demands, require more reliable power equipment and higher-quality insulating materials. The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) nozzle, as the key part of a high-voltage circuit breaker, is often subjected to arc ablation and breakdown phenomena. Thus, it is very urgent to develop nozzles with better performance. In this study, PTFE/boron nitride (BN) composites were prepared. The relationships among the BN filler loading, thermal transition properties, spectral reflectance properties, arc ablation resistance, and AC dielectric breakdown performances, as well as their corresponding mechanisms, were studied. Experimental results show that the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of PTFE/BN composites increased monotonously with BN loading, and that both parameters were improved by 41% and 44%, respectively, for 11 wt % composites compared with pure PTFE. Moreover, PTFE/BN composites had higher light reflectance in the wavelength range from 320 to 2500 nm. The PTFE/BN composites presented better arc ablation resistance performance with increased BN loading, which was improved by 88.5%. It is thought that the increased thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, the strong light reflectance, and surface sediment after arc ablation contribute to the improvement in arc ablation resistance performance. The AC breakdown strength of PTFE/BN composites was enhanced by 30.93%, attributed to the good heat dissipation properties introduced by the BN fillers. Thus, filling BN into the PTFE matrix would be helpful to solve the equipment issue that comes from the improvement in transmission voltage. Full article
