Abstract
The failure of magnet wires used in inter-turn insulation of inverter-fed motor winding is the main cause which leads to the motor insulation breakdown. This paper conducted electrical tree breakdown experiments on magnet wire insulating film (FCR 100) used in the inter-turn insulation of JD117 inverter-fed motor and meanwhile combining with energy spectrum analysis and scanning electrical microscope (SEM), by which type and content of elements, breakdown main body and electrical tree channel could be clearly observed, the corresponding failure mechanisms were analyzed. The experiment results reveal that all the breakdown main bodies are located at the pointedness and insulation joint of magnet wires, of which dielectric strength is relatively lower; they are the insulation “weak point”, which should be paid enough attention and strengthened at the manufacturing period. The electrical tree breakdown time is quite long and the life span of magnet wire is 11 hours. The electrical breakdown strength of envelope is very low when containing metal impurity. It is also found that the aluminum occupies the highest content tested by energy spectrum analysis.
