Test Chamber Designed with Temperature Control for Partial Discharge and Polarization and Depolarization Current Testing

This paper presents the temperature-controlled test chamber for Partial Discharge and Polarization and Depolarization Current test of dielectric liquid including impregnated pressboards with the various conditions. Besides, the temperature of the test specimen is controlled between room temperature to 300°C. The temperature distribution in the test chamber was simulated. Besides, the electric field stress at the electrodes were simulated. Furthermore, different kinds of sensors such as a thermocouple, gas sensors, and so on were designed to be equipped within the test chamber. From the simulated result, both electric field stress and temperature distribution were in the given conditions.
