PD Characteristic of Electrical Tree Generated by Internal Defects

내부결함에서 나타나는 전기트리의 부분방전 특성

Solid insulation exposed to voltage is degraded by electrical tree process. And the degradation of the insulation is accelerated by voltage application. For this experiment, specimens of electrical tree models were made by three types of XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene). And distribution characteristics of degraded stages are studied too. As a method of detecting and data process, discharge data was acquired from PD detecting system (Biddle instrument). And microscope and digital camera were used to observe the morphologies of the electrical tree to divide stages of the tree. The system presents statistical distribution as phase resolved. Moreover the processing time of electrical tree is recorded to know the speed of degradation according to voltage.
