Understanding Electrical Treeing Phenomena in XLPE Cable Insulation Adopting UHF TechniqueA major cause for failure of underground cables is due to formation of electrical trees in the cable insulation. A variety of tree structure can form from a defect site in cable insulationvizbush-type trees, tree-like trees, fibrillar type trees, intrinsic type, depending on the applied voltage. Weibull studies indicate that a higher applied voltage enhances the rate of tree propagation thereby reducing the life of cable insulation. Measurements of injected current during tree propagation indicates that the rise time and fall time of the signal is of few nano seconds. In the present study, an attempt has been made to identify the partial discharges caused due to inception and propagation of electrical trees adopting UHF technique. It is realized that UHF signal generated during tree growth have signal bandwidth in the range of 0.5-2.0 GHz. The formation of streamer type discharge and Townsend type discharges during tree inception and propagation alters the shape of the tree formed. The UHF signal generated due to partial discharges formed during tree growth were analyzed adopting Ternary plot, which can allow one to classify the shape of tree structure formed.

In this article, a portable XLPE cable insulation detection device is introduced. Such a device utilizes electromagnetic coupling, UHF electromagnetic wave and acoustic emission to detect partial discharge signals in power cables. By analyzing the partial discharge signals and cable temperatures, the insulation status of XLPE power cables is judged.

Herausforderungen bei der spanenden Bearbeitung von CFK sind unerwünschte Materialschädigungen im Bauteil sowie hohe Werkzeugverschleißraten. Für diese Arbeit wurden zerstörende Analogversuche an CFK und diamantbeschichteten Hartmetallproben durchgeführt und die Körperschallmesssignale analysiert. Die eingehende Untersuchung der Messwerte aus den Analogversuchen kann zu einer datengetriebenen Parametrierung einer körperschallbasierten Prozessüberwachung für die Fräsbearbeitung von CFK beitragen.   Challenges in machining CFRP are unwanted material damage in the component and high tool wear rates. For this work, destructive analogy experiments were carried out on CFRP and diamond-coated milling tools while analyzing the acoustic emission measurement signals. The detailed examination of the measured values from the analogy experiment can contribute to a data-driven parameterization of an acoustic emission-based process monitoring for the milling of CFRP.
