Abstract

Breakdown of power capacitor major insulation is one of the most severe reasons causing capacitor failure, even explosions. Long term operation in partial discharge (PD) environment can result in accelerated degradation of major insulation, and lead to breakdown ultimately. In this paper, partial discharge performance between terminal and container of a power capacitor was studied, and a typical PD model was employed to analyze different insulation designs. Based on the results, the relationship between different major insulation designs and partial discharge performance was discussed, and an optimized major insulation design was provided, which can contribute to the improvement of capacitor reliability in the future.
