The surface resistance of nanoparticles filled Poly Propylene (PP) to Partial Discharges(PD) is investigated in this work. PP films with different percentages of organoclay filled PP films were aged under 60 Hz AC voltages. Each sample was continuously aged for 8 hours with Rod-Plane profile electrodes in presence of surface discharges. Several characteristics such as Qavg, Qmax, Weibull distribution parameters of PD distributions were collected continuously with time using a Computerized PD Detection System. The change in the Breakdown strength due to aging by Partial Discharges was determined by using a ASTM D-149 breakdown strength measurement system using standardized electrodes for films. The results of experiments, statistical analyses as well as the model for the progression of aging in terms of observed PD (φ, q, n) measurements and surface defects caused on the samples due to PD for samples with different levels of nano-fillers has been analysed. |
