CE 2.1 Project InformationName of the project: Measurement of Air Breakdown Voltage Using Standard SphereGap MethodLocation of the project: [PLEASE FILL]Project Duration: [PLEASE FILL]Organization: [PLEASE FILL]Role and Designation during the time: Team LeaderCE 2.2 Project BackgroundCE 2.2.1 Characteristics of the projectPower growth has been continuously increasing in every country and so it was in mine.High Voltage power equipment are the greatest concern in the sector of the power generation andI had interest in this region of concern. The insulations might became waste due to many actionsand might behave as a conductor when the voltage went equals the air breakdown voltagebetween the gaps. Air gaps behaves as the insulator in high voltage electrical works those inaddition uses many liquid insulations such as solid insulation (paper, polyester), (transformer oil,and gas insulation (N2, SF6, CCl2F2 CO2, and many more). I was aware with the fact that airbreakdown voltage is 30 kV/cm and it has greater significance on the insulation design for thehigh voltage electrical equipment. I had attempted to determine breakdown voltageexperimentally that was delivered at standard temperature and pressure and had diameter of 25cm.
CE 2.2.2 Objectives developed for the projectIt was my duty in the project to assign the roles and responsibilities of every individual inthe project and for the successful accomplishment of the project I had to develop the followingobjectives for the project:To lead the project and manage the efficiency and accuracy of the projectTo measure the air breakdown voltage To use standard sphere gap method in manner to determine the air breakdownvoltageTo “discuss breakdown in gases a brief review of the fundamental principles ofkinetic theory of gases”CE 2.2.3 My area of workI had to apply my theoretical knowledge related to the breakdown mechanismsand use the skills and knowledge for the determination of air breakdown voltage. I had beentaught about the two major types of this mechanism that includes Streamer theory and Townsendtheory and I had arranged the testing arrangements in the gaseous medium. I had developed thefollowing arrangements in the gaseous medium as explained in the figure below:
