Workshop on Multifactor Aging Mechanisms and Models Held in Victoria, B. C., Canada on 22 October 1922
Abstract
There have been considerable efforts to understand the aging and failure mechanisms of insulation in electrical systems. However, process has been slow because of the complex nature of the subject particularly when dealing with multiple stresses e.g. electrical, thermal, mechanical, radiation, humidity and other environmental factors. When an insulating material is exposed to just one stress factor e.g. electric field, one must devise test(s) which are not only economical efficient and practical but which take into account the nature of electric field (ac, dc and pulsed), duration and level or field strength, and field configurations. Any additional stress factor(s) make the matrix of measurements and the understanding of resulting degradation processes more complex, time consuming and expensive
