Recycling treatment of cable insulation resin generated from electric wires and cables was investigated. Conventional insulation PVC contains a lead component, tribase, as a thermal stabilizer and lead removal is necessary to recycle this PVC as insulation resin. This paper describes a solid surface adsorption method using ion exchange resin to remove the fine lead containing particles from PVC...

Improving the dielectric properties of liquid-insulating materials is a current problem in research into insulation system power transformer. Modern optimization insulating liquids involves potential use unique synthetic esters enriched with nanoparticles. This study presents results response liquefied gas-based (GTL) during accelerated thermal aging. The relaxation spectroscopy method was used...

A study was conducted to determine the effect of heat stress on semen criteria and testis size in Santa Inês hairy rams, in the State of Ceará, Northeast of Brazil. The scrotum of eight adult rams was insulated for seven days. Animals were evaluated twice before insulation and, after insulation, at 12 different periods until 118 days. Scrotal insulation did not affect semen volume, but pH was i...

OBJECTIVES We carried out an evaluation of a large-scale New Zealand retrofit programme using administrative data that provided the statistical power to assess the effect of insulation and/or heating retrofits on cardiovascular and respiratory-related mortality in people aged 65 and over with prior respiratory or circulatory hospitalisations. DESIGN Quasi-experimental cohort study based on ad...

An extensive product range is mandatory to be a key player in the pipe insulation market. The polyurethane preinsulated pipe producers are responding to global opportunities by diversifying their activities into industrial, marine, oil and gas applications. Moreover, the requirements for traditional district heating preinsulated pipes including initial thermal conductivity and its ageing perfor...

Abstract Premature failures of polymeric insulation under inverter-type electrical stress are predominantly associated with partial discharge (PD) erosion or dielectric heating. In the present contribution, an approach for aging analysis in absence aforementioned mechanisms is proposed and applied to anhydride-cured epoxy samples, which designed a recessed shape achieve PD-free aging. Dielectri...

The stator windings of large air-cooled rotating machines are mainly insulated with mica-glass fabric impregnated with epoxy resin. In service, these materials are submitted to thermal, mechanical and electrical stresses. A specific aging arrangement has been set-up allowing artificial thermo-oxidative aging of samples, thanks to the application of a dry O2 pressure at a controlled temperature....

a unique high frequency transient overvoltage surge suppressor for the protection of motors and transformers from steep wave-front, short rise-time, high magnitude, spikes, surges and other transient voltages, generated by switching, lightning and other sources. The protective characteristics of ZORC: Eliminates inter-turn insulation failures Extends the life of machine insulation Eliminates mu...

the oil-paper insulation is a type of an inexpensive combination insulation system in oil-filled power transformers. in this study the dielectric and strength properties of canola oil and mineral oil impregnated hand-sheet papers were investigated. all hand sheets were made of unbleached bagasse soda pulp with two different freeness levels of 200 ± 25 ml, csf and 400± 25 ml,csf. after drying th...

The subject matter of this paper refers to the correct recognition of the acoustic emission (AE) signals generated by basic partial discharge forms (PDs). The paper presents research results of the application of unidirectional artificial neural networks (ANN) for recognizing basic PD forms that can occur in paper-oil insulation impaired by aging processes. The research work results present rec...
