Frequency-Domain Spectroscopy and Charge Trap Characteristics of Cellulose Based Pressboard Modified by Nano-TiO 2 Particles

• Dielectric response and charge decay test are widely used for evaluating the electric properties of the insulation pressboards in the converter transformer. In this paper, Frequency Domain Spectroscopy (FDS) test, breakdown test, and charge decay characteristics experiments are carried out on the cellulose pressboards modified by TiO2 with different mass fractions and diameters. The FDS of the modified cellulose pressboards at ambient temperature is measured from 0.0001 to 1000 Hz by IDAX 300. The process is conducted at the laboratory to study the characteristics parameters of the dielectric response behaviors, such as complex relative permittivity. The results show that the values of the relative permittivity for the insulation pressboards modified by TiO2(5 wt%, 10 nm) are reduced. To verify the accurate results, the microstructures of the pressboards modified by 5 wt% with 10 nm diameter are observed by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The breakdown strength tests are carried on the samples modified by 1 wt%, 3 wt%, 5 wt%, 7 wt% with 10 nm TiO2 under the intensity electric and high-temperature field, respectively. The values of the breakdown strength are increased by 38% and 11.5% for single layer samples and oil/pressboard composite insulation models modified by 5 wt% nano-TiO2 filler. In addition, the charge decay characteristics are tested on the samples. The proper proportion additions can reduce the trap density.
