    Experiment No.2

    Title: To Measure dielectric strength of solid insulating materials as per IS 2584


    Aim:
    To determine the dielectric strength of various solid dielectrics

    Apparatus: 1) High voltage testing equipment, Sphere Gap Unit 2) Sheets of different dielectric
    material

    Circuit diagram
    Theory:

    A) Requirements of good insulating materials:


    1. Insulating material should have highest chemical strength (kV/mm or cm).
    2. It should be mechanically strong enough to take jerks and vibrations
    3. of equipment.
    4. It should be thermally stable.
    5. It should not degrade or loose electrical strength due to environmental effects such as
    moisture, acids & alkalis, pollution etc.
    6. It should be having such a property that it should be readily fitted for the purpose of
    insulation.
    7. It should be cheap & affordable.

    B) Testing: For testing of insulating materials following properties are considered:

    1. Mechanical Properties:
    It Includes tensile Properties: modulus, compressive modulus, impact
    strengthless.

    2. Thermal Properties:
    It includes temperature & time of exposure. Properties of materials changes at lower
    temperature. Fire is another aspect of thermal problem.

    3. Environmental Properties:
    Come in picture as to under what kind of operation must the device operate.
    Environment includes the effect of air(oxidation), effect of light, ultraviolet rays, acids & alkali
    fumes & humidity.

    4. Electrical properties:
    The most important property is dielectric strength of an insulation. It is that value
    of voltage which causes the electrical rupture of an insulating materials. In practical use it is defined
    under specific conditions and is measured in volt/unit thickness of material.
    Another property is the dielectric constant, which determines the share of electric
    stress which is observed by the material.
    For Insulating materials, the loss tangent & resistivity are also important properties.

    Different types of solid insulating materials are as follows: -

    1. Paper& pressboard
    2. Fibrous materials (impregnated & unimpregnated), (Impregnation means treating fibrous
    materials with vanish or transformer oils.)
    3. Resins (polymers)
    4. Natural and synthetic rubbers.
    5. Inorganic insulating materials.
    a) Glass
    b) Ceramics
    c) Mica & Mianite
    d) Asbestos.
    6. Composite materials

    Procedure:

    1. Place the insulating material in between the electrodes.


    2. Ensure that voltmeter shows zero reading.
    3. Switch on main supply.
    4. Switch on H.T. button.
    5. Motor automatically raises the voltage.
    6. Take readings & repeat the procedure for other insulating materials.
    7. Measure the thickness of each insulating materials.

    Precautions:

    1. Ensure that the power supply is off before expt.


    2. Discharge the sphere gap assembly before performing experiment.
    3. Check earthing
    4. The plastic cover is properly shutdown.
    5. Before switching on the supply, ensure zero reading on voltmeter.
