Partial discharge inception and breakdown studies on model sheet-wound, compressed SF/sub 6/ gas-impregnated, polymer film-insulated windings

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5546034
An investigation was made of advanced concepts for gas-insulated power transformers and experimental studies have been made on model turn-to-turn insulation structures comprised of sheet aluminum conductors insulated with two sheets of polymer film impregnated with compressed SF/sub 6/ gas. Precautions were taken to eliminate particles using electrostatic techniques during winding of the models. Partial discharge inception and breakdown measurements were made at 60 Hz applied voltages and room temperature; the effect of polymer film thickness was also investigated.
