ABSTRACT
In this paper the behavior of partial discharges (PDs) on epoxy insulation under AC
and impulse superimposed voltages are experimentally investigated in SF6 gas. The
lightning impulse (LI) and the switching impulse (SI) voltages with different polarity
are superimposed on different phases of the AC voltage. PDs are measured by three
sensors, a 50 Ω measurement impedance, an ultra-high frequency sensor and a
photomultiplier tube. The max PD amplitude, PD pulse number and PD duration
under AC voltage after an impulse voltage are summarized and analyzed. The effect of
the impulse superposition phase, the impulse type and the impulse polarity on the
characteristics of AC PDs are discussed. Results show that after a positive impulse
voltage was applied on the positive semi-wave of AC voltage (0 to 180°), PDs in the
negative half cycle of the AC voltage can be remarkably excited. A negative impulse
voltage was applied on the negative semi-wave (180 to 360°), AC PDs can be initiated in
the positive half cycle of AC voltage. PDs excited by a LI voltage is severe than excited
by a SI. PDs excited by a positive impulse is intense than excited by a negative impulse.
