Cyclic Tests Cyclic Tests
Cyclic tests usually consist in applying, in addition to voltage stress, various stresses in a cyclic manner: - solar radiation simulation; - artificial rain; - dry heat; - damp heat (near saturation); - high dampness at room temperature (saturation has to be obtained); - salt fog at low concentration. Furthermore, temperature variations may cause some degree of mechanical stress, especially at the level of insulator interfaces and also give rise to condensation phenomena, which are repeated several times in the course of a cycle. For power frequency test voltage, a test transformer shall be used. The test circuit when loaded with a resistive current of 250 mA (r.m.s.) on the high voltage side shall experience a maximum voltage drop of 5 %. The protection level shall be set at 1 A (r.m.s.). Problem: no general agreement on one particular test! Problem: no general agreement on one particular test!

Other Aging Tests for Polymeric Insulators

Wheel Test acc. to IEC 62217 Wheel Test acc. to IEC 62217
Extremely severe test!
The test specimens shall be cleaned with de-ionized water before starting the test. The test specimens are mounted on the wheel as shown in Figure A.1 below. They go through four positions in one cycle. Each test specimen remains stationary for about 40 s in each of the four positions. The 90 rotation from one position to the next takes about 8 s. In the first part of the cycle the insulator is dipped into a saline solution. The second part of the test cycle permits the excess saline solution to drip off the specimen ensuring that the light wetting of the surface gives rise to sparking across dry bands that will form during the third part of the cycle. In that part the specimen is submitted to a power frequency voltage. In the last part of the cycle the surface of the specimen that had been heated by the dry band sparking is allowed to cool.
Electrical stress: NaCl content of de-ionized water: Ambient temperature: Test duration: The power frequency test voltage in kV is determined by dividing the actual creepage distance in millimetres by 28,6. 1,40 kg/m 0,06 kg/m 20 5 K C 30 000 cycles
The test is regarded as passed, if on both test specimens: no tracking occurs for composite insulators: erosion depth is less than 3 mm and does not reach the core; if applicable for resin insulators: erosion depth is less than 3 mm; no shed, housing or interface is punctured.
