Abstract

The dielectric breakdown data of polyimide at liquid nitrogen temperature are investigated. The applicability of the Weibull distribution is discussed. A new distribution function is proposed, and its utility and strength are illustrated distinctly by employing the Monte Carlo method.

DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF POLYVINYL ALCOHOL, POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE), POLYVINYL BUTYRAL RESIN AND POLYIMIDE AT LOW TEMPERATURES

Conference Tuncer, Enis; Sauers, Isidor; James, David; ...

Performance of materials and their compatibility determine the size of the electrical insulation in power equipment. For this reason dielectric properties of electrical insulation materials are needed for low temperature power applications. In this work we report the dielectric properties of four polymers: polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polyvinyl butyral resin (PVB), and polyimide (PI--Kapton\textregistered). The dielectric measurements are performed with an electrical impedance analyzer in the frequency domain. The impedances are recorded in a cryocooler in the temperature range from 45K to 350K. The dielectric breakdown characteristics of the polymers are measured in a liquid nitrogen bath atmore »« less

VERY LOW FREQUENCY BREAKDOWN PROPERTIES OF ELECTRICAL INSULATION MATERIALS AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES

Journal Article Sauers, I; Tuncer, E; Polizos, G; ... - Advances in Cryogenic Engineering

For long cables or equipment with large capacitance it is not always possible to conduct high voltage withstand tests at 60 Hz due to limitations in charging currents of the power supply. Very low frequency (typically at a frequency of 0 1 Hz) has been used for conventional cables as a way of getting around the charging current limitation For superconducting grid applications the same issues apply. However there is very little data at cryogenic temperatures on how materials perform at low frequency compared to 60 Hz and whether higher voltages should be applied when performing a high voltage acceptabilitymore »« less

Effect of Bubbles on Liquid Nitrogen Breakdown in Plane-Plane Electrode Geometry From 100-250 kPa

Journal Article Sauers, Isidor; James, David; Tuncer, Enis; ... - IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity

Liquid nitrogen (LN(2)) is used as the cryogen and dielectric for many high temperature superconducting, high voltage applications. When a quench in the superconductor occurs, bubbles are generated which can affect the dielectric breakdown properties of the LN(2). Experiments were performed using plane-plane electrode geometry where bubbles were introduced into the gap through a pinhole in the ground electrode. Bubbles were generated using one or more kapton heaters producing heater powers up to 30 W. Pressure was varied from 100-250 kPa. Breakdown strength was found to be relatively constant up to a given heater power and pressure at which themore »« less

Comparison of dielectric properties of additively manufactured vs. solvent cast polyimide dielectrics

Journal Article Appelhans, Leah; Keicher, David; Lavin, Judith - IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation

The permittivity, dielectric loss, and DC dielectric breakdown strength of additively manufactured, solvent-cast, and commercial polyimide films are reported As expected, commercial films performed better than both AM and solvent-cast lab-made films. Solvent-cast films generally performed better than AM films, although performance depended on the optimization of the material for the specific deposition technique. The most significant degradation of performance in all the lab-made films was in the dispersion of both the x/Df measurements and the dielectric breakdown strength (Weibull β). Commercial films had a breakdown strength of 4891 kV/cm and β = 13.0 whereas the highest performing lab-made filmsmore »« less
