1 Thermal Cycling Test (IEEE 1310)

Insulation degradation evaluation under heating/cooling over 500 cycles

Pre-test/ Intermediate test (test after 50/100/250 cycle)/ Main test (after 500 cycle)/ Post-test

2 Voltage Endurance Test (IEEE 1043, IEEE 1553)

Check voltage durability by accelerating insulation aging with high temperature and high voltage

Pre-test, endurance test (110 ℃) 400 hours at 3.76 times of phase voltage

3 Breakdown Voltage Test (ASTM D149)

Increase the voltage by 5kV and test until insulation breakdown

Voltage rise : 5kV/min

4 Water Immersion Test (HAEGANG ACE Standard)

Thermal Cycling Test

Water Immersion Test

Period (24 Months)

2018.08.30 ~ 2020.09.10

After the End IR(1minute) : 275 GΩ IR(10minute) : 2.4 TΩ PI : 8.7
Purpose

Check the possibility of moisture absorption due to voids inside the main insulating layer

Prevention of deterioration of insulation performance due to moisture absorption Moisture absorption due to dew condensation when generator is stopped (in case of SPACE HEATER failure) Moisture absorption during long-term storage of spare parts (no need for moisture-proof packaging)

Pressurized Water Immersion Test

Period (2 Weeks)

1.8 bar, 336Hours

Comparison of characteristics before and after pressurized immersion
Item Before After Remark
IR 248 GΩ 265 GΩ IR > 0.1 GΩ
PI 16.5 15.4 PI > 3
Purpose

Confirmation of moisture-proof of the main insulation layer of the stator winding even under long-term pressurized immersion conditions

Check the presence of air or moisture in the main insulation of the stator winding for voids and gaps
