Abstract
The surface discharge injected current were measured by using High Frequency Current Transformer (HFCT). It is observed that the rise time of the current pulse is about 800ps. In addition, the rise time of the current pulses has not altered in copper sulphide (CuS) diffused Oil Impregnated Pressboard (OIP) material, but the width of the current signal has increased with the increase in the amount of copper sulphide diffusion into the pressboard. It is confirmed that the injected current pulse radiates Ultra High Frequency (UHF) signal and the dominant frequency of the UHF signal formed due to the surface discharge injected current is about 0.9 GHz. The characteristic frequency contents of the UHF signal formed due to surface discharge activity is the same with the virgin and copper sulphide diffused pressboard material. The surface discharge inception voltage is high with the virgin specimen compared with copper sulphide diffused oil impregnated paper insulating material and is the same irrespective of the amount of diffusion of copper sulphide to it. The Phase Resolved Partial Discharge (PRPD) analysis indicates that at the point of surface discharge inception, the discharge occurs at the peak of the applied AC voltage and when the applied voltage magnitude is increased, the discharge occurs at the rising portion of the applied AC voltage. The characteristics of the surface discharges formed are the same with the copper sulphide diffused oil impregnated pressboard material. It is noticed that with increase in ageing time, a reduction in partial discharge magnitude is observed. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) analysis was carried out to understand the characteristic changes that occur in the degraded zone formed due to surface discharges. The measurement of surface charge indicates that ageing of oil impregnated paper material increases the surface charge accumulation. Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) confirms the presence of copper and sulphur in the aged Oil Impregnated Pressboard material. The Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) results indicate that the amount of copper content in pressboard material have increased with ageing time.
