Abstract

The polyimide (PI) film is used as the internal insulation system in the high-temperature superconducting transformer due to its excellent mechanical and electrical performance. Many researchers had found that nanoparticle mixing can improve the polymer&#x2019;s insulation properties. The partial discharge(PD) will induce the deterioration and even breakdown of the insulating materials. In the paper, the PI films modified by nano-A1<inf>2</inf> O<inf>3</inf> were prepared in situ polymerization. The particle size of Al<sup>2</sup> O<inf>3</inf> nanoparticle used in this research is 10 nm, and the mass fraction is 1wt&#x0025;, 3wt&#x0025;, 5wt&#x0025; and 7wt&#x0025;, respectively. The volume resistivity, surface resistivity and partial discharge initial voltage (PDIV) are measured in liquid nitrogen(LN). The experimental results indicate that adding of 3wt&#x0025; nanoparticle is the optimum ratio to suppress the PD in the PI films.
