Partial discharge and interference discrimination in gas-insulated systems using electric and magnetic sensors

The correct identification of partial discharges (PDs) is instrumental for the maintenance plan in gas-insulated systems (GIS). However, onsite PD measurements are difficult, especially in HVDC systems, where partial discharges can be confused with interference. This paper proposes a method to discern PDs from interferences based on the GIS...

A Data-Driven Model for Power Loss Estimation of Magnetic Materials Based on Multi-Objective Optimization and Transfer Learning

Traditional methods such as Steinmetz's equation (SE) and its improved variant (iGSE) have demonstrated limited precision in estimating power loss for magnetic materials. The introduction of Neural Network technology for assessing magnetic component power loss has significantly enhanced accuracy. Yet, an efficient method to incorporate detailed...

Fast 2.5D Loss Calculation for round Litz Wires

Litz wire, which is used to suppress eddy current, always have complex structure. Solving its 3-D finite element model (FEM) requires high computational resources. This article presents a 2.5-D loss calculation method for round Litz wires, which do not need mesh. One pitch of Litz wire is set as an object. The exact structure is constructed...

Improved Winding Losses Calculation based on Bessel Functions

In this article, an approach combining semi-empirical equations and the method of images is proposed for round conductor layer windings with un-gapped core. The new equation for proximity effect can convert the constant field strength from the magneto-motive force (MMF) across the core window into a frequency-dependent uniform background...

Winding loss calculation is essential for inductor and transformer design. In this article, a revised 1-D Ferreira's formula is proposed, which considers the interaction between conductors. Then, a 2-D loss calculation approach is proposed based on the analytical solution of round conductors under a uniform external field. An equivalent...

Ramp sinusoidal breakdown of epoxy resin under high voltage waveforms at different frequencies

In this study, the immediate time to breakdown for pure epoxy resin is measured by applying a ramp sinusoidal voltage signal at certain frequency (50Hz, 500Hz and 5000Hz) until breakdown occurs. The HV testing procedures, epoxy resin sample and experimental set-up preparation and Weibull analysis of obtained results are elaborated. The...

Experimental study of epoxy surface discharge under different frequencies

With widely use of power electronics in medium voltage level, there is increasing concern about behaviour of insulation material under arbitrary voltage stress. Solid-gas insulation is a general choice in medium voltage level. Therefore, it’s unavoidable to encounter surface discharge problem. In this paper, the surface discharge on epoxy-air...
