Insulation co-ordination
Insulation co-ordination is the selection of test voltage(s) in relation to the operating voltages and overvoltages which can appear on the system.
System analysis
Representative voltages and overvoltages
Test voltages
Example in conventional HV engineering: waveform for a standard lightning impulseMultiplying with factors
Voltage value, waveform, test time
Voltage value, waveform

System analysis: RL discharge on a TF coilCurrent with initial value IL(t = 0) = I0 = 50 kA must be decreased to 0 A in case of a quench

U = R * II = I0 * e-t / τ = I0 * e-t / (L / R)
=> U0 = 0.1 Ω * 50 kA = 5 kV High voltage (HV)!
Increase of the voltage is in range of few ms or faster=> TF coil is a high voltage impulse coil=> Testing of coil and coil components only with a DC test is not sufficient

KIT – die Kooperation vonForschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbHund Universität Karlsruhe (TH)
Representative voltages for TF coil dischargeDifficult to make a single HV test which is relevant for all voltages (and overvoltages) which may appear on the coil
=> A set of tests with different waveform is used
• Most representative
• Stresses all types of insulation
• Non destructive insulation diagnostic possible (e. g. partial discharge (PD))
• Simple, cheap
• Low destructive
Representative for fast excitations (fast switching, faults)
Representative for increase if arc chute breakers are used
Representative for fall

General aspects of HV testing of large devices
• Large devices may have internal overvoltages if they are subjected to “fast” excitations=> calculation of transient behaviour:Non linear voltage distribution?Oscillations?
• Non destructive test methods=> Partial discharge measurement

Special aspects of HV testing of “Paschen tight” apparatus• A “Paschen tight” device can be
operated independently of the surrounding dielectric properties (e. g. during vacuum breakdown).
• The ITER TFMC was designed with solid insulation covering completely the HV areas. The insulation is covered with conductive paint. This paint is grounded.
• Verification if a coil is “Paschen tight” is performed by HV DC testing with the transition of the Paschen curve of the surrounding air in the cryostat at room temperature.

Some special aspects of HV testing of cryogenic apparatus
• Fault detection under cryogenic conditions is expensive and timeconsuming => make pre-tests at room temperature
• The dielectric strength of the cooling material may be a weak point under room temperature testing of cryogenic apparatus => increase the pressure or replace He by N2 or SF6 in cooling channels with insulation breaks

Transfer function at node 1 of the ITER TFMC network model with symmetric voltage excitation ±5 kV
The selected configuration with connection of the radial plate by 1.2 MΩ resistors and a symmetrical grounding gives no relevant overvoltages for rise times above 2 µs
=> No high overvoltages expected for all prepared HV tests

Typical HV tests for ITER TFMC
• DC test on ground insulation• Impulse test• DC test on ground insulation• DC and AC test on ground, radial plate
and conductor insulation without roomtemperature instrumentation cables
• DC test on ground insulation
• DC test voltage value for ground insulation was 10 kV (test voltages for other insulation types and waveforms had been lower)
• Tests were performed at room and cryogenic temperature• AC tests included partial discharge measurement

Results of HV tests of ITER TFMC at room temperature
• All tests under ambient conditions were passed successfully
• During Paschen test it was found that TFMC is not Paschen tight
• 2 potential fault locations were found, Tedlar tapes were forgotten to remove during manufacturing at one location
Fault location at helium inlet tubes

Results of HV tests and HV discharge on ITER TFMC at cryogenic temperature
• Breakdown strength for AC and esp. impulse testing under cryogenic conditions does not fulfil the specification
• High current discharge withI = 80 kA and U < 1 kV was possible
• High voltage discharge was reduced from +5 kV / -5 kV to 0 / 4.4 kV
=> ITER TFMC does not fulfil the HV specification Breakdown during an impulse test

• Maximum voltages (to ground or terminal to terminal) are used to excite two detailed models (1 kHz and 50 kHz). Maximum internal voltages are identified and located.

Calculated voltages in time domain
The calculated terminal voltages are in good agreement with some ITER DDDs.But non linear internal voltage distribution was found already during fast discharge without fault which was not in agreement with the simple calculations of the ITER DDDs (where only linear internal voltage distribution is assumed).
For an ideal fast discharge all coils have the same maximum voltage of 3.5 kV to ground and between both terminals of each coil.
=> HV tests are required to confirm proposed test voltages are compatible with ITER design

Long term testing on ITER TFMC• Insulation: conductor and radial plate insulation
(ground insulation has fault)• Maximum voltage test value derived from
calculation of transient behaviour:11 kV peak (factor compared to TFMC acceptance tests: ≈4 for DC and ≈8 for AC)
• Voltage waveform: DC and AC• Duration of 3 voltage steps each: 10 h
• No voltage breakdown appeared during DC test (UDC, max = 11 kV)
• Breakdown appeared after 9 h 39 min of 7.78 kVrms on ground insulation during conductor insulation test on known fault location (increase of PD activity 15 min before breakdown)
ITER TFMC outside the cryostat=> Proposed test values for conductor and radial plate insulation would be OK

Burn out of fault location on ITER TFMC
• The burn out confirms the assumption of the fault location
Flashes around the helium tubes during burn out

Conclusion for ITER
• Calculation of terminal voltages and assuming only linear voltage distribution is not enough for prediction of internal voltages
• A Paschen Test is indispensable to prove high voltage strength during vacuum breakdown
• A cold test is recommended to verify reliable HV operation at cryogenic temperature
• Conductor and radial plate insulation can withstand the proposed test voltages derived from calculation of transient behaviour of ITER TF in special fault case for 10 h without breakdown.=> 1 working day (8 h) Paschen Test with permanently applied high voltage would be possible

Calculated (network) and measured resonance frequency show good agreement for the relevant cases
Damping directly in resonance case and above was calculated with poor accuracy sometimes too low and sometimes too high
