Dynamic behavior of surface charge on double-layer oil-paper insulation under pulse voltage

摘要

Oil-paper insulation system is an extraordinarily essential system of converter transformers as well as HVDC bushings. When the system changes its state, such as switching the thyristors, operating over-voltage appears, and the charge will deform the dielectric internal electric field, thus easily leading to the occurrence of discharge or insulation failure, so charge accumulation and dissipation on oil-paper insulation under pulse voltage need more investigation. This paper studies the surface charge behavior on double-layer oil-paper insulation under pulse voltage and inducing electrification was used to charge the oil-paper composite. Studies of various voltage amplitudes, pulse frequencies, numbers and polarities showed that the decay is fast initially, and then becomes slower with the time. Eventually the dissipation of charge behaviors tends to be flat. With the increase of voltage amplitudes, the surface potential rises, and less positive charges are accumulated on the surface than negative charges. The increase of the pulse frequency causes the initial values of surface potential a little smaller and the charge to dissipate more quickly. Also, with the increase of pulse numbers, the initial value gets bigger and the surface charge would be slowly dissipated. From the tdV/dt and decay time curves, the figures of positive voltage usually have two peaks, while there is only one peak in most of the curves under the negative one. With the increase of voltage amplitudes, the charge will dissipate more quickly. Additionally, the peak value and the characteristic time increase with the reduction of pulse frequency and the addition of numbers.
