Abstract

This paper dealt with the insulation evaluation by a measurement of partial discharge(PD) on traction motors used in a hybrid vehicle. The PD method has been accepted as an effective and a non-destructive. technique to evaluate insulation performance of low-voltage electric and electronic devices. In this paper, the PD measurement system which was manufactured with a coupling network, a low noise amplifier, and an associated electronics is described. The PD measurement system has the frequency bandwidth of $1[MHz]{\sim}30[MHz]$ at -3 [dB] and the stable sensitivity of 19 [mV/pC] for the traction motor. From the experimental results, discharge inception voltage (DIV) and apparent charge (q) were $1,100[V_{rms}]$ and 105 [pC] for the used motor, and $1,400[V_{rms}]$ and 84 [pC] for the new one. By comparing the DIV and q, we could evaluate the insulation condition for the traction motors.

본 논문에서는 부분방전 측정에 의한 하이브리드 차량용 견인전동기의 절연평가에 대하여 기술하였다. 부분방전법은 효과적인 비파괴시험으로 저압용 전기전자기기의 절연성능평가에 사용되어 왔다. 부분방전 측정시스템은 결합회로망, 저잡음 증폭회로 및 주변 전자회로로 구성되며, 주변 잡음의 영향을 최소화하기 위하여 차폐함내에 설치하였다. 교정실험으로부터 부분방전 측정시스템의 주파수 대역은 $1[MHz]{\sim}30[MHz]$ (-3[dB]), 감도는 19[mV/pC]로 평가되었다. 기사용 전동기와 신품 전동기에서 방전개시전압(DIV)과 겉보기 전하량(q)을 측정한 결과, 기사용 전동기의 방전개시전압은 $1,100[V_{rms}]$, 겉보기 전하량은 105[pC], 신품 전동기에서의 방전개시전압은 $1,400[V_{rms}]$, 겉보기 전하량은 84[pC]이었다. 방전개시전압과 전하량을 비교함으로써 견인전동기의 절연상태를 평가할 수 있었다.
