Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure belong to the technical field of dielectric loss measurement for motor life extension evaluation, and specifically relate to a device and method for measuring dielectric loss for motor life extension evaluation. Background Art

[0002] The main purpose of electrical life extension assessment is to understand the current status of electrical equipment, predict its remaining life, and formulate appropriate maintenance, upgrade or modification plans accordingly to extend the service life of the equipment and improve its operating efficiency.

[0003] Under the influence of an electric field, charged particles within an insulating material migrate, generating a weak current (leakage current). This current heats the dielectric and causes energy loss. Furthermore, the dielectric also consumes energy during polarization, especially when the polarization process is slow (such as relaxation polarization or space charge polarization), which takes a long time to reach a stable state, further causing energy loss.

[0004] Dielectric loss is a key indicator for evaluating the electrical performance of insulation materials and a crucial component in assessing the lifespan of electrical equipment. In high-voltage and high-frequency devices, excessive dielectric loss can degrade overall performance and even cause thermal breakdown of the insulation. Therefore, accurately measuring and evaluating dielectric loss is crucial for optimizing material selection and application. Summary of the Invention
