20、TRIC STRENGTH OF INSULATING MATERIALS TEST METHODS Part 2: Additional requirements for tests using direct voltage 1 Scope This part of IEC 60243 gives requirements additional to those in IEC 60243-1 for the determination of the electric strength of solid insulating materials under direct voltage str
21、ess. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
22、amendments) applies. IEC 60243-1:2013, Electric strength of insulating materials Test methods Part 1: Tests at power frequencies 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions in IEC 60243-1:2013 apply. 4 Significance of the test In addition to the requirements
23、of Clause 4 of IEC 60243-1:2013, the following points shall be considered when using direct-voltage tests. For a non-homogeneous test specimen, with alternating voltage, the distribution of voltage stress within the test specimen is determined by impedance (largely capacitive). With an increasing di
24、rect voltage, the voltage distribution may still be largely capacitive but depends partly on the rate of voltage increase. The resistive voltage distribution, after constant voltage application, represents the steady-state condition. The choice between direct or alternating voltage depends upon the
25、purpose for which the breakdown test is to be used and, to some extent, on the intended application of the material. Upon direct voltage application, the following currents result: the capacitive current, the electric absorption current, the leakage current and, in some cases, partial discharge curr
26、ents. In addition, for materials with dissimilar layers or discontinuities, the voltage distribution across the test specimen is also influenced, as a result of interfacial polarization, by charges of opposite polarity, which may accumulate on the two sides of the interface and create local fields s
27、ufficiently strong to produce partial discharges and/or breakdown of the test specimens. For most materials, the d.c. breakdown voltage is higher than the peak value of the power-frequency breakdown voltage; for many materials, particularly those which are non-homogeneous, the d.c. breakdown voltage
28、 will be three times higher than the a.c. breakdown voltage or even more. BS EN 60243-2:2014 6 60243-2 IEC:2013 5 Electrodes and test specimens For the purposes of this standard, the electrode configurations and shape of test specimen of Clause 5 of IEC 60243-1:2013 are applicable. 6 Conditioning be
29、fore tests Clause 6 of IEC 60243-1:2013 is applicable. 7 Surrounding medium Clause 7 of IEC 60243-1:2013 is applicable. 8 Electrical apparatus 8.1 Voltage source The test voltage applied to the electrodes shall be provided by a power supply having the following characteristics and components. A choi
30、ce of voltage of either positive or negative polarity shall be provided, one of the connections to the electrodes being earthed. The voltage ripple on the test voltage shall not exceed 2 % of the voltage at all values greater than 50 % of the breakdown voltage. The test voltage shall also be free fr
31、om transients or other fluctuations exceeding 1 % of the applied voltage. When testing test specimens of low capacitance, it may be necessary to add a suitable capacitor (for example, 1 000 pF) in parallel with the electrodes in order to reduce the influence of transients in initiating premature bre
32、akdowns. The controls on voltage shall be capable of varying the test voltage smoothly and uniformly between zero and the maximum test voltage and with the requested rate of voltage rise. The rate of voltage rise shall be controllable within 20 % of the specified rate. Steps in voltage rise shall no
33、t exceed 2 % of the expected breakdown voltage value. Controls which automatically increase the voltage at a selectable rate are preferable. A current-sensitive interrupting device shall be used for switching off the direct voltage source. For many materials, a dangerous voltage may persist across t
34、he test specimen for a considerable time after the d.c. test voltage is removed. Disconnection of the power supply to the direct voltage source does not necessarily result in the output voltage or the voltage at the electrodes being reduced to zero. For this reason, it is essential that the electrod
35、es be short-circuited and connected to earth for a period equal to minimum twice the total charging time to ensure that the charge is dissipated. For some large test specimens it will be necessary to maintain the shorted condition for 1 h or even longer. A current-limiting resistance shall be used i
36、n series with the test specimen to prevent damage to the high-voltage supply and to limit as far as possible the damage to the electrodes on the test specimen when breakdown takes place. The maximum current permitted will depend on the material under test and on the amount of damage to the electrode
37、s which can be tolerated. NOTE 1 The use of a very high-valued resistor may result in breakdown voltages which are higher than those obtained with a lower-valued resistor. BS EN 60243-2:201460243-2 IEC:2013 7 When making tests where the value or increase in the value of the current is used as a crit
38、erion for breakdown, means of measurement of current through the test specimen shall be provided. 8.2 Voltage measurement The measurement of applied voltage shall be made across the electrodes. The other requirements of Clause 8 of IEC 60243-1:2013 shall be met. 9 Procedure Clause 9 of IEC 60243-1:2
39、013 is applicable. 10 Mode of increase of voltage Unless otherwise specified, the voltage shall be applied in accordance with 10.1 (short-time test), 10.3 or 10.5 (slow and very slow rate-of-rise tests) or 10.6 (proof tests) of IEC 60243-1:2013. 11 Criterion of breakdown Clause 11 of IEC 60243-1:201
40、3 is applicable to direct voltage tests. Breakdown may be identified by a sudden increase in current or by the current exceeding a certain specified value. 12 Number of tests Clause 12 of IEC 60243-1:2013 is applicable. 13 Report Unless otherwise specified, the report shall include the following: a)
41、 a complete identification of the material tested, a description of the test specimens and the method of preparation; b) the polarity of the test voltage; c) the median (central value) of the electric strengths and/or breakdown voltages; d) the thickness of each test specimen (see 5.4 of IEC 60243-1
42、:2013); e) the surrounding medium during the test and its properties; f) the electrode system; g) the mode of application of the voltage; h) the individual values of electric strength and/or breakdown voltage; i) the temperature, pressure and humidity during tests in air or other gas; or the tempera
43、ture of the surrounding medium when this is a liquid; j) the conditioning treatment before test; k) an indication of the type and position of breakdown.
