Polymer nanocomposites have been identified to possess superior electrical insulation properties compared to its base polymer. However, weak interfacial interaction between the nanoparticles and the host polymer matrices would result in poor insulation properties. In this study, the surfaces of Boron Nitride (BN) nanoparticles were treated with atmospheric pressure plasma discharge to strengthen the...
Grounding system plays very important role in AC substation station for person and equipment safety. Proper design of grounding system is achievable by following IEEE Std-80 on safety in AC substation grounding but novice professionals find it not easy to use. The advantage of this paper presents evaluation of grounding system for AC substation by case studies presentation thus easing the understanding...
Nanofluids have been identified to be one of the suitable approaches to increase the breakdown strength of transformer oil. However, the nanofluids tend to form sediment which nullifies its full capabilities in increasing the electrical properties such as higher AC breakdown strength. In view of foregoing, this paper presents an approach to enhance the AC breakdown strength of the transformer oil...
In this paper, we reported the wavelet analysis of lightning electric field of Narrow Bipolar Pulses (NBP) measured during two different monsoon season in Johor, Malaysia. The lightning electric field of NBP were divided into Narrow positive Bipolar Pulses (NPBP) and Narrow Negative Bipolar Pulses (NNBP). Analysis on the wavelet and frequency spectrum reveals that the energy spectrum for both NBPs...
Lightning Air Terminal (LAT) is normally a sharp-tipped rod that is used to intercept direct lightning strike to ground structures. However it was found that LAT sometimes does not function as it should be due to aging and prolonged exposure to the acidic rain. This paper presents on the studies to determine chemical compounds; Polyvinyl Acetate and Polyvinyl Alcohol that can be use to enhance LATs'...
