Abstract
It is crucial for proper insulation design of cast resin transformer to consider voids and delamination which might exist in cast molding because of several surface boundaries between resin and conductor. Such defects in the insulator lead to reduction of the life of the apparatus. In this report, we investigate the relation between the void size and apparent charge of partial discharge (PD) occurring in a model simulating the insulation system of cast resin transformer. It is also important to determine necessary PD detection sensitivity of PD test in a factory as well as in a field. In this paper, we also discuss the detection sensitivity by considering the relation between charge and void radius using formula derived by L. Niemyer, M. Pedersen and their colleagues in the late 1980's to apply to the case of the cast resin transformer. Experiments were also performed to obtain PD inception voltage (PDIV) of epoxy resin slab including an artificial void with a given size. Investigation was also made on the effect of X-ray irradiation to the epoxy resin on PDIV characteristics.
