Abstract
- In this article, the effect of repetitive square wave impulse voltage, switching frequency, rise time, and overshoot (OS), on partial discharges (PDs) within Type II turn-to-turn insulation is reported. Two types of samples are used in this study: a back-to-back turn insulation sample and a single cavity layered insulation. This work aims to analyze the influence of the square wave impulse voltage parameters on the characteristics of PDs during aging while relating their effect on the life of turn insulation. The experimental setup used in this study separates the effect of the waveform rise time from the OS and highlights the role of the OS rather than the jump voltage in aging. The results, within the range of parameters considered in the study, indicate that the number and magnitude of PDs are lower at a higher switching frequency while shorter rise time triggers fewer discharges of larger magnitudes. It is also found that PDs, both occurrences and magnitudes, are in favor of waveforms of higher OSs even when the waveforms have a similar jump voltage. This highlights the role of the OS, rather than the jump voltage, as a main and additional factor affecting the life of turn insulation which is contrary to what has been described in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60034-18-42. Based on the average magnitude of PDs per unit time, the results show, in the reported range of parameters, that the switching frequency and OS of the voltage waveform are among the main parameters affecting turn insulation life, whereas the effect of the rise time is found to be minimal.
