Effect of surface degradation on slot partial discharge activity

Abstract: To improve our understanding of slot partial discharge (PD) mechanisms, an accelerated aging test was initiated two years ago. This long-term experiment is being performed on six stator bars subjected to slot PDs under electrical, thermal and mechanical stresses. It is well known that slot PD activity in air-cooled generators is harmful to the stator winding ground insulation. The degradation induced by slot PDs will modify the physical properties of the surfaces of the cavity where PDs take place and this in … Show more

“…The reduction in peak magnitude and a number of pulses is drastic in case negative discharge pulse. The reason for this drastic reduction in negative integrated charge was the combined effect of charge spread on anode insulation surface and oxidation of the cathode steel surface [23,24]. The effect of charge spread is discussed in detail in previous studies [20,22].…”

“…To replicate the core portion, a flat steel plate was used and it was tightly clamped over the bare insulation surface with a gap of 0.3 mm between insulation surface and steel plate. A conditioning time of 12 h at 6.6 kV, 50 Hz was maintained to obtain the typical asymmetric PRPD pattern of slot discharge [22,23]. PD measurements were carried out after immediately removing the tape, after conditioning time of 1 and 12 h at 4, 5 and 6 kV with different excitation frequencies.…”

“…This behaviour can be explained by the higher relative humidity of the air in the lab ( [3,4]), probably affecting external discharges around the grading junction. In dry air, external PD activity tends to be higher because all free electrons can participate in the avalanche process, whereas at higher humidity the electro negativity of water will capture some of the electrons and reduce the overall PD activity.…”

“…At this moment, when the defect is close to the high-voltage conductor but has no contact with it, electric discharge is most likely to occur. 5 The accumulation of dust and oil forming a layer of black dirt will reduce the surface resistance of the winding and will help in the formation of electric discharge. Finally, the surface insulation will erode.…”
