[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the steps of a method for evaluating the service life of an insulating material provided in Example 1 of the present invention.

[0044] The present invention provides a method for evaluating the service life of an insulating material, comprising:

[0045] Step 101: In response to a request for life assessment of a target insulation material, obtain thermophysical data and working environment data of the target insulation material.

[0046] A life assessment request refers to an instruction requesting an assessment of the service life of a target insulation material.

[0047] Thermophysical data refers to physical quantity data related to the thermal properties of the target insulating material, including but not limited to activation energy data and Boltzmann constant.

[0048] Working environment data refers to various parameters and condition information related to the surrounding environment when the target insulation material is in a specific operating state, including but not limited to working voltage and working temperature.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, in response to a received request instruction for evaluating the service life of a target insulating material, thermophysical data and working environment data of the target insulating material are acquired.

[0050] Step 102: Perform a DC durability test on the target insulating material according to preset test conditions to obtain test data of the target insulating material at different test temperatures.

[0051] Preset test conditions refer to a combination of a series of test parameters and environmental factors that are pre-set before conducting a DC durability test on the target insulation material. Testing according to the preset test conditions can reduce the test time, thereby improving the test efficiency, and enabling the insulation material to complete the test efficiently and conveniently in a shorter time, thereby achieving the advantages of short time consumption and high efficiency.

[0052] Test data refers to the test-related information obtained by measuring, recording and analyzing the target insulation material during the DC durability test, which is used to reflect the various performances of the target insulation material under the action of the DC electric field.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, a DC durability test is performed on a target insulating material according to preset test conditions, and test data of the target insulating material at different test temperatures is obtained.

[0054] Step 103: Determine the damage threshold of the target insulating material using the thermophysical data and the test data.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, thermophysical data and test data are used to perform formula conversion, and the converted formula is solved to obtain the damage threshold of the target insulating material.

[0056] Step 104: Determine the service life of the target insulation material using the thermophysical data, the damage threshold, and the working environment data.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, calculations are performed using thermophysical data, damage thresholds, and working environment data to obtain the damage threshold of the target insulating material.

[0058] In the present invention, in response to a request for life assessment of a target insulating material, thermophysical data and working environment data of the target insulating material are obtained, a DC durability test is performed on the target insulating material according to preset test conditions, test data of the target insulating material at different test temperatures are obtained, the damage threshold of the target insulating material is determined using the thermophysical data and the test data, and the service life of the target insulating material is determined using the thermophysical data, the damage threshold and the working environment data. The present invention performs a DC durability test on the target insulating material according to the preset test conditions, which can reduce the test time and thus improve the test efficiency. At the same time, based on the test data obtained from the test, an effective evaluation of the service life is performed in combination with the thermophysical data and the working environment data, thereby accurately obtaining the service life of the target insulating material under normal working conditions. The present invention solves the technical problem that the traditional DC durability test method has the disadvantages of long test time and low test efficiency, which makes it difficult to effectively evaluate the service life of the insulating material.

[0059] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the steps of a method for evaluating the service life of an insulating material provided in Example 2 of the present invention.

[0060] The present invention provides a method for evaluating the service life of an insulating material, comprising:

[0061] Step 201: In response to a request for life assessment of a target insulation material, obtain thermophysical data and working environment data of the target insulation material.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific implementation process of step 201 is similar to that of step 101 and will not be repeated here.

[0063] It should be noted that the present invention calculates the cumulative damage of the insulating material based on the damage balance method and establishes a cumulative damage physical model.

[0064] Similar to the mechanism of metal fatigue, the damage equilibrium theory states that any insulation will undergo continuous, irreparable, incremental and destructive changes even under operating or working stresses. The reasons behind these irreversible changes are not yet fully understood. Even after the stress is removed, the accumulated damage becomes embedded in the material's memory. Moreover, this damage is only incremental and will continue to contribute to degradation when the stress cycle is restarted. The basic governing principle for insulation degradation under stress is assumed to follow an inverse power law. If is the power law coefficient, then the abstract quantity damage It's time and stress The joint function of , so the following rules apply:

[0065] (1)

[0066] Where, represents the abstract quantity damage, represents a constant, represents stress, represents the power law coefficient, Indicates time.

[0067] For a given material, if all other test conditions remain constant, the constant K can be used as a unit without loss of generality.

[0068] Considering the different time steps , ,… The corresponding electrical stress , ,… Under the action of the damage gradually accumulates, the cumulative damage within a certain period of time It can be expressed as:

[0069] (2)

[0070] Where, Indicates the The cumulative damage at each test temperature is represents a constant, represents the voltage step or time step at which the final breakdown occurs, represents the applied stress, Indicates time time steps.

[0071] When a Reaching a critical value through any accumulation path When , it is considered that the insulation breakdown occurs at this time. Therefore, the insulation breakdown criterion at this time is:

[0072] (3)

[0073] If the cumulative damage threshold is considered In line with the Arrhenius model, the critical value is considered It changes exponentially with temperature and satisfies:

[0074] It should be noted that the Arrhenius model is an important model used to describe the relationship between chemical reaction rate and temperature.

[0075] (4)

[0076]

[0077] Where, represents the activation energy of the degradation process, represents the Boltzmann constant, represents absolute temperature, Indicates the critical value of cumulative damage at the test temperature.

[0078] It is worth mentioning that the critical value of cumulative damage at breakdown at different test temperatures is The present invention is explained by taking two test temperatures as an example. If D1 and D2 are D at T1 and T2 test temperatures respectively, cRT value, then it satisfies:

[0079] (5)

[0080] The above formula is the theoretical basis for the subsequent accelerated aging test (DC durability test).

[0081] Step 202: Perform a DC durability test on the target insulating material according to preset test conditions to obtain test data of the target insulating material at different test temperatures.

[0082] Furthermore, the preset test condition is specifically to gradually increase the applied test voltage according to a preset time interval.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present invention, the basic method of the test is the same as that of the conventional DC durability test, that is, a DC voltage is applied to both ends of the insulating material. However, in this embodiment, the DC durability test is performed on the target insulating material by gradually increasing the test voltage at a preset time interval. The applied voltage waveform is as follows: Figure 3The step voltage waveform shown is composed of a series of discrete voltage steps, that is, the voltage value does not change continuously, but suddenly jumps to a new value at different time points and maintains at each voltage value for a period of time, forming a step-like shape. By using a step voltage waveform in the durability test, the voltage stress on the insulating material under these actual working conditions can be better simulated. At a certain higher voltage step, the insulation resistance of the insulating material decreases significantly faster, indicating that the voltage level has a greater impact on the durability of the insulating material, accelerating the aging process of the insulating material, reducing the test time, thereby improving the test efficiency, and more accurately evaluating the durability of the insulating material in a complex voltage environment.

[0084] Its voltage satisfies:

[0085] (6)

[0086] Where, Indicates the test voltage to be applied. represents the voltage step size, represents the breakdown time, Indicates the time step.

[0087] Not greater than The maximum integer of , if the time step is small enough, it can be approximately considered that:

[0088] (7)

[0089] In the embodiment of the present invention, the target insulating material is completely placed in a constant temperature box so that its temperature remains stable during the test. Under the action of the test voltage, the insulating material gradually breaks down, and different test temperatures T1, T2, ..., T m Insulation material breakdown time t1, t2, ..., t m , voltage step and time step .

[0090] Step 203: Determine the damage threshold of the target insulating material using the thermophysical data and the test data.

[0091] Furthermore, the test data includes breakdown time, voltage step and time step, and the thermophysical data includes activation energy data and Boltzmann constant. Step 203 may include the following sub-steps:

[0092] S11. Substitute the breakdown time, voltage step, and time step at different test temperatures into the preset critical value function to obtain the critical value expression at each test temperature.

[0093] It should be noted that the preset critical value function is specifically:

[0094]

[0095] In the embodiment of the present invention, the breakdown time, voltage step and time step at different test temperatures are substituted into a preset critical value function to obtain a critical value expression at each test temperature.

[0096] The critical value expression is as follows:

[0097] (8)

[0098] That is, by substituting formulas (2), (6) and (7) into formula (5), the critical value expressions at each test temperature can be obtained.

[0099] For ease of understanding, take two test temperatures T1 and T2 as an example, then:

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] S12. Combine the critical value expressions to obtain the critical value simultaneous formula.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present invention, the cumulative damage critical value at breakdown at different test temperatures must be the same, therefore, combining the critical value expressions, we can obtain the critical value simultaneous formula.

[0104] Taking two test temperatures T1 and T2 as an example, the critical value simultaneous equation is as follows:

[0105]

[0106] It should be noted that if multiple test temperatures are involved, the same applies and will not be repeated here.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present invention, the breakdown time, voltage step and time step at different test temperatures are substituted into the preset critical value function respectively, and the functions are combined to solve the life index n.

[0108] S13. Solve the critical value simultaneous equation using the test temperatures, activation energy data, and the Boltzmann constant to determine the damage critical value of the target insulating material.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present invention, the life exponent n is solved in step S12, and then the critical value simultaneous equation is solved using the test temperatures, activation energy data and Boltzmann constant. At this time, taking two test temperatures T1 and T2 as an example, the damage critical value of the target insulating material is Specifically:

[0110] (9)

[0111] In the embodiment of the present invention, the experimentally measured temperatures T1 and T2 and their corresponding breakdown times t1 and t2 are combined with the experimental temperature, activation energy data, Boltzmann constant, voltage step and time step, and brought into solving formulas (8) and (9) to obtain the approximate solution of the life index n and the critical value at this time. .

[0112] Furthermore, the operating environment data includes operating voltage and operating temperature.

[0113] It should be noted that when predicting the life of the target insulating material here, it is necessary to make the prediction under the steady-state working voltage at the working temperature T0. Since the working environment of most products made of working insulating materials, such as insulated cables, is mostly at normal temperature, the working temperature is preferably normal temperature.

[0114] At room temperature and constant DC operating voltage, the voltage satisfies:

[0115] (10)

[0116] It should be noted that here, formula (2) and formula (10) are substituted into formula (4). When the unit meets the specification, the default constant k representing the unit is 1, and E is a constant for DC constant voltage. The accumulated time is the service life t0. At this time, It can be expressed as follows using formula (2):

[0117]

[0118] Therefore, by substituting formulas (2) and (10) into formula (4), we can see that the cumulative damage critical value is satisfy:

[0119] (11)

[0120] At this time, the service life t0 of the insulation material can be expressed as:

[0121] (12)

[0122] Step 204: Determine the thermal activation coefficient using the activation energy data, the Boltzmann constant, and the operating temperature.

[0123] Furthermore, step 204 may include the following sub-steps:

[0124] S21. Perform a ratio operation on the activation energy data and the Boltzmann constant to obtain a first ratio.

[0125] In a specific implementation, to facilitate the implementation of the method, the above process can be converted into a formula encapsulation form, wherein the first ratio can be calculated as follows:

[0126]

[0127] Where, represents the first ratio, represents activation energy data, represents the Boltzmann constant.

[0128] S22. Perform a ratio operation on the first ratio and the operating temperature to obtain a second ratio.

[0129] S23. Calculate the second power of the ratio of the natural constant to obtain the thermal activation coefficient.

[0130] In the specific implementation, in order to facilitate the implementation of the method, the above process can be converted into a formula encapsulation form, where the thermal activation coefficient is .

[0131] Step 205: Determine the service life of the target insulation material using the thermal activation coefficient, the damage threshold, and the operating voltage.

[0132] Furthermore, step 205 may include the following sub-steps:

[0133] S31. Perform multiplication operation on the thermal activation coefficient and the damage critical value to obtain a target multiplication value.

[0134] S32. Perform a ratio operation using the target multiplication value and the operating voltage to obtain the service life of the target insulation material.

[0135] In a specific implementation, to facilitate the implementation of the method, the above process can be converted into a formula encapsulation form, where the service life can be calculated as follows:

[0136]

[0137] Where, Indicates service life, represents the thermal activation coefficient, represents the damage threshold of the target insulating material, which is calculated by formula (9) in step S13 above. Indicates the operating voltage.

[0138] In the embodiment of the present invention, the above formula (12) is used to solve the thermal activation coefficient, damage threshold and operating voltage to obtain the service life of the target insulation material.

[0139] It is worth mentioning that the service life assessment scheme of the insulating material in the present invention is also applicable to other high-voltage DC devices using insulating materials (such as filter capacitors, insulators, cable connectors, high-voltage DC gas-insulated switchgear, etc.), and is applicable to the vast majority of materials that require insulation durability testing. The service life assessment method of the present invention can provide an important basis for the effective design of DC insulating materials represented by cables.

[0140] The present invention provides an application example of a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cable as a test material;

[0141] The rated voltage of the cable is 1100V. Tests were conducted under DC conditions at 50°C and 70°C. Four sets of tests were conducted at each temperature, each containing five samples. The voltage step size was 0.5 kV, and the time step size (tstep) was set to 1min, 2min, 5min, and 60min, respectively. The distribution of the breakdown voltage of the PVC samples with the time step size is shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 shown.

[0142] For PVC samples tested at higher temperatures, lower breakdown voltages confirm the effect of thermal stress on accelerated insulation degradation. Across the entire PVC data set, the minimum breakdown time was 8 minutes and the maximum was 13 hours.

[0143] Calculate the life index n and cumulative damage critical value D of this group of samples c The results are shown in Table 1.

[0144]

[0145] At room temperature (27°C) and a rated voltage stress of 1.1 kV, the cable used in this example has an estimated lifespan of 101.6 years. At higher operating temperatures (e.g., 37°C), the cable's lifespan drops dramatically to 10.9 years under the same operating stress. Therefore, the DC durability of a cable is related to its rated operating voltage and operating temperature.

[0146] In summary, the present invention can test the DC durability under low-temperature and low-voltage operating conditions through a short-term high-temperature and high-voltage test. The above application examples prove that a cable that requires a service life of 100 years using conventional methods can be tested in a few hours using this method. The test can be completed efficiently and conveniently in a short time.

[0147] In the present invention, in response to a request for life assessment of a target insulating material, thermophysical data and working environment data of the target insulating material are obtained, a DC durability test is performed on the target insulating material according to preset test conditions, test data of the target insulating material at different test temperatures are obtained, the damage threshold of the target insulating material is determined using the thermophysical data and the test data, and the service life of the target insulating material is determined using the thermophysical data, the damage threshold and the working environment data. The present invention performs a DC durability test on the target insulating material according to the preset test conditions, which can reduce the test time and thus improve the test efficiency. At the same time, based on the test data obtained from the test, an effective evaluation of the service life is performed in combination with the thermophysical data and the working environment data, thereby accurately obtaining the service life of the target insulating material under normal working conditions. The present invention solves the technical problem that the traditional DC durability test method has the disadvantages of long test time and low test efficiency, which makes it difficult to effectively evaluate the service life of the insulating material.
