Abstract
Nowadays, the use of several methods for the measurement of space charges in dielectrics has become more relevant. The availability of different space charge measurement methods brings the necessity of calibration and characterization of measurement equipment to reach standardized measurements. In this paper, a method is presented to apply known charges at built samples which can be used for acoustic and thermal methods to compare measured values with calibration purposes. Experimental tests for validation purposes were performed in flat samples by comparison of results between a single layer and multilayer samples. Moreover, this method can be used to measure the resolution and accuracy of space charge measurement systems.
Highlights
With the increasing use of high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, the space charge phenomena are becoming more relevant
The post-processing involves deconvolution methods whose calibration is obtained by measurement of known surface charge values at the electrodes when a known voltage is applied at a space charge free sample
With that the short the results are shown as the measured voltage signal at the oscilloscope and not in charge values
Summary
With the increasing use of high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, the space charge phenomena are becoming more relevant. The most widely used non-destructive methods for the measurement of space charges are the acoustic and thermal methods. These methods follow the principle of either exciting the charges by an electrical disturbance and measuring the mechanical response or the reverse method where the electrical response is measured when the charges are mechanically excited [3,7,8,9,10,11,12]. The post-processing involves deconvolution methods whose calibration is obtained by measurement of known surface charge values at the electrodes when a known voltage is applied at a space charge free sample
