The electrical strength of dielectric materials indicates the highest electric field strength that the material can withstand to avoid being destroyed (broken down) under the action of an electric field: it is usually expressed as the ratio of the breakdown voltage value of the sample to its thickness (the average thickness of the sample between the two electrode plates, and the paint is the paint film), and the unit is kV / m. The breakdown strength values ​​of many polymer insulating materials at liquid nitrogen and liquid helium temperatures are not much different, so the breakdown strength data at liquid nitrogen temperature can also be used as a reference for designing electrical equipment working at liquid helium temperature. There is no unified standard for the breakdown test method at low temperatures.

[0045] It should be understood that although Figure 1 The steps in the flowchart are shown in sequence as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified in this document, there is no strict order restriction for the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, Figure 1 At least part of the steps may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least part of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0046] As an optional implementation, S2 includes: S21: performing attribution analysis on the experimental breakdown field strength data to find out all the breakdown causes; S22: using the formula Construct the Weibull sub-distribution corresponding to each breakdown cause; F i (E) represents the breakdown cumulative probability distribution of the sub-distribution caused by the i-th breakdown cause, α i is the size parameter caused by the i-th breakdown reason, β i is the shape parameter caused by the i-th breakdown reason, E imin is the position parameter caused by the i-th breakdown reason; S23: superimpose all Weibull sub-distributions to obtain a Weibull mixed distribution.

[0047] As an optional implementation, S23 includes: using the formula The Weibull mixed distribution is obtained by weighted fusion; where m i is the proportion of the ith Weibull subdistribution, and N is the total number of breakdown causes.

[0048] As an optional implementation, S3 includes: using Weibull mixed distribution to divide the experimental breakdown field strength data into breakdown field strength data of each Weibull sub-distribution; using the ratio of the standard deviation σ and the mean μ of each Weibull sub-distribution as the coefficient of variation cov corresponding to each Weibull sub-distribution, The coefficient of variation COV is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, and Γ is the gamma function. The reliability measure R is calculated using the coefficient of variation cov and the percentile of the cumulative breakdown probability corresponding to each Weibull sub-distribution. The estimated parameters corresponding to the breakdown field strength data of each Weibull sub-distribution are Calculate the corresponding reliability estimate Need to explain, estimated parameters satisfy:

[0049] As an optional implementation, S5 includes: S51: Calculate the corresponding U in each sub-distribution R The corresponding confidence interval (U RL , U RU ), change U RL and U RU The larger value of the corresponding relative deviation is used as the relative deviation corresponding to each Weibull sub-distribution; S52: Select the sub-distribution with a relative deviation greater than the deviation threshold from all Weibull sub-distributions as the target sub-distribution. RL , U RU ) depends on the confidence level γ, percentile p, and sample size n, and percentile p is only related to COV, so U R The correlation between the coefficient of variation COV of the breakdown data and the number of samples n.

[0050] Furthermore, the Monte Carlo simulation method is used to estimate the minimum number of samples for the sub-distribution. The input parameters of the Monte Carlo simulation method are the coefficient of variation COV of the sub-distribution data, the number of samples n, the number of simulations, and the confidence level γ. A set of Weibull distribution data with a sample number of n and conforming to the COV is randomly generated, and then the maximum likelihood estimation method is used to estimate this set of data to obtain the corresponding UR as a simulation. The number of simulations should not be less than 100,000 times. The results of each simulation are statistically analyzed to determine the confidence interval of UR by the confidence level γ, and then the corresponding relative deviation Δ is determined by UR. The above steps will obtain the relative deviation Δ between the estimated value and the true value of a set of data under a specific COV under different sample numbers n, thereby obtaining the minimum number of samples for the sub-distribution under a specific COV at an acceptable Δ.

[0051] As an optional implementation, S52 includes: selecting a sub-distribution whose proportion weight is greater than a proportion threshold and whose relative deviation is lower than a deviation threshold from all Weibull sub-distributions as a target sub-distribution.

[0052] As an optional implementation, S52 includes: taking the sub-distribution with the smallest relative deviation among all Weibull sub-distributions as the target sub-distribution.

[0053] As an optional implementation, S7 includes: if there are multiple target sub-distributions, the current key quantities U corresponding to the multiple target sub-distributions are R The preset current experimental sample number n corresponding to the maximum relative deviation is used as the minimum sample number required to obtain the dielectric breakdown strength.

[0054] For example, a polypropylene film with a thickness of d can be used as a sample. According to the electrode method recommended by the national standard GB T 13542.2-2021 Electrical Insulation Film, the breakdown field strength of these samples is measured. The initial number of experimental samples is preset to 20. The attribution analysis determines that the number of sub-distributions i is 3. The three-parameter Weibull mixed distribution is used to fit the experimental data to obtain the comprehensive distribution parameters. The COV of the breakdown data within the dominant sub-distribution range is 0.33, the confidence level γ=0.9, the relative deviation Δ is 7%, and the minimum number of samples of the sub-distribution with the largest weight obtained by Monte Carlo simulation is 60, so the minimum number of samples of the mixed distribution is 60.
