Polymeric material such as low density polyethylene (LDPE) has been used for decades as insulating material. Any polymeric material will experience degradation after prolonged application of high electrical stresses. Deeper understanding of the long term electrical degradation of the insulating material is necessary to predict the life of high voltage cable. Electroluminescence method (EL) is used to detect the breakdown voltages of thin film LDPE. This method utilizes a Peltier cooled electron multiplying charge coupled device (EMCCD) camera to detect the breakdown of the sample. Statistical distribution of the AC breakdown voltages of 100μm virgin and aged LDPE has been analysed. Comparison for the best fitted distribution was made for Weibull distribution and Johnson SB distribution using Anderson-Darling (A2) goodness-of-fit and Kolmogorov-Smirnov (D) goodness-of-fit (GOF). Johnson SB is rarely used in high voltage engineering application. The probability density function (PDF) and the cumulative density function (CDF) for both distributions are defined in this article. The statistical parameters used are estimated based on Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) for both distributions. Based on the statistical analysis, it is observed that Johnson SB provide better fitting than Weibull distribution with lower fitting error and that 3-parameter Weibull is much better fitting than 2-parameter Weibull distribution for most cases. It is also found that the median breakdown voltage of LDPE samples decreases with increasing aging temperature.

ABSTRACT Augusto Moreno is credited with establishing the first radiocarbon (14C) laboratory in Mexico in the 1950s, however, 14C measurement with the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) technique was not achieved in our country until 2003. Douglas Donahue from the University of Arizona, a pioneer in using AMS for 14C dating, participated in that experiment; then, the idea of establishing a 14C AMS laboratory evolved into a feasible project. This was finally reached in 2013, thanks to the technological developments in AMS and sample preparation with automated equipment, and the backing and support of the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the National Council for Science and Technology. The Mexican AMS Laboratory, LEMA, with a compact 1 MV system from High Voltage Engineering Europa, and its sample preparation laboratories with IonPlus automated graphitization equipment, is now a reality.

To guarantee the security of composite insulators as tension strings applied to ultra-high voltage engineering, it is necessary to study the mechanical properties of composite insulator regarding break impact. The test system was designed and the implementation plan was developed. Test was done to two insulator strings broken and the dynamic impact factor under different broken conditions at different tension was obtained accordingly, which provides reference and evidence for further study on mechanical properties of composite insulator and development of applicable design specifications.
