Course content
Lectures: 1. Dielectric and insulating materials, dielectric systems of electrical machines, reliability and safety. 2. Interaction between materials and electrical field, polarization of dielectrics from macroscopic and microscopic point of view. 3. Internal field, polarization and its classification. 4. Deformation polarization, relaxation polarization, model of potential barrier, ionic and dipole relaxation polarization. 5. Migration polarization, space charge and its influence on dielectric behavior, mathematical description of inhomogeneous dielectric behavior, Maxwell-Wagner model of dielectrics. 6. Dielectrics in static electrical field. 7. Dielectrics in non-stationary electrical field, dielectric dispersion, Cole-Cole diagram. 8. Dielectric absorption, electrical conductivity of gas insulating materials. 9. Electrical conductivity of liquid insulating materials and its thermal dependence, Walden´s rule. 10. Electrical conductivity of solid insulating materials and its surface conductivity. 11. Dielectric losses in gas, liquid and solid insulating materials. 12. Specific dielectric strength of gas, liquid and solid insulating materials. 13. Classification of insulating materials and systems according to thermal endurance. Laboratories: 1. Conductors, components of dielectric systems (composite materials, slot insulations, Nomex, Röchling, Kapton?). 2. Demonstration of materials and material catalogues. 3. Insulating systems VPI and Resin-Rich. 4. Theoretical preparation of Cole-Cole diagram measurement. 5. Measurement of Cole-Cole diagram in frequency range from 50 Hz to 300 kHz on selected materials. 6. Measurement of Cole-Cole diagram in frequency range from 300 kHz to 30 MHz on selected materials. 7. Check and correction of seminar works, credit recognition.
