Title: Influence of Rise Time on the Aging of Electric Machine Windings
This study examines how fast rise times, which are common in modern power electronics and drive systems, affect the aging of electric machine windings. It focuses on how to ensure these windings can last longer and work reliably in electrical systems. A twisted pair magnet wire with insulation commonly used in wound machines was used to get experimental data to understand how different voltage waveforms can influence endurance testing of motor insulation systems powered by inverters. Unlike past studies that looked at comparatively slower rise times and fewer repetitions, this research specifically addresses the challenges posed by next-generation wide bandgap (WBG)-based conversion systems. These systems operate at very high speeds, up to 100 kV/μs, and switch frequencies up to 500 kHz, where both frequency and rise time are crucial factors affecting insulation aging over time.  more » « less

    Emerging power electronic drives and converters, especially wide bandgap (WBG) technology-based devices, are expected to operate at high voltages and switching frequencies, potentially reaching up to several hundred kHz. These operating conditions pose significant challenges to the reliability of insulation systems in motor windings, which are critical to the longevity and safe operation of electrical machines. This study investigates the impact of high-frequency square wave voltage pulses on the lifetime of motor winding insulation by conducting lifetime tests on twisted pair magnet wire commonly used in electrical machines. The experiments were conducted in the frequency range of 100 kHz to 300 kHz, with rise times of 50 ns and 400 ns (slew rate ranging from 2.4kV/μ s to 19.2kV/μs), to simulate the conditions typical in modern power electronics and inverter-driven systems. The results show that fast rise times and high switching frequencies influence turn-to-turn insulation's aging and breakdown characteristics. The findings highlight the importance of switching frequency and rise time in determining the reliability of insulation systems, offering critical data to enhance the design and performance of electrical machines in the context of high-frequency operation.

    Emerging power electronic drives and converters are planned to operate at high voltages with high switching frequencies (up to a few hundred kHz), which will affect the reliability of insulation systems of windings of electrical machines. To evaluate the insulation quality under such high-frequency pulses, lifetime test is a prominent way. For simplification of test procedure, turn-to-turn insulation samples are approved by IEC 60034-18-42. In past studies, the impact of switching frequencies has been investigated under lower frequencies (up to 20 kHz), which cannot address the challenges of next-generation wide bandgap (WBG)-based power converters. In this study, the lifetimes of turn-to-turn insulations under high switching frequencies (50 kHz) are tested at four different rise times (50 ns, 100 ns, 150 ns, 200 ns), and the impact of switching frequency on the lifetime of the insulation is analyzed.

    The increasing interest in employing wide-bandgap (WBG) drive systems has brought about very high power, high-frequency inverters enjoying switching frequencies up to hundreds of kilohertz. However, voltage surges with steep fronts, caused by turning semiconductor switches on/off in inverters, travel through the cable and are reflected at interfaces due to impedance mismatches, giving rise to overvoltages at motor terminals and in motor windings. The phenomena typically associated with these repetitive overvoltages are partial discharges and heating in the insulation system, both of which contribute to insulation system degradation and may lead to premature failures. In this article, taking the mentioned challenges into account, the repetitive transient overvoltage phenomenon in WBG drive systems is evaluated at motor terminals and in motor windings by implementing a precise multiconductor transmission line (MCTL) model in the time domain considering skin and proximity effects. In this regard, first, a finite element method (FEM) analysis is conducted in COMSOL Multiphysics to calculate parasitic elements of the motor; next, the vector fitting approach is employed to properly account for the frequency dependency of calculated elements, and, finally, the model is developed in EMTP-RV to assess the transient overvoltages at motor terminals and in motor windings. As shown, the harshest situation occurs in turns closer to motor terminals and/or turns closer to the neutral point depending on whether the neutral point is grounded or floating, how different phases are connected, and how motor phases are excited by pulse width modulation (PWM) voltages.

    Electrical insulation is the limiting factor that reduces the lifetime of power components. The aging of insulation, which is heavily caused by partial discharges (PDs) and harsh environmental conditions, eventually leads to complete insulation breakdown. The advancement in developing more- and all-electric aircraft is limited by the existing apparatuses that operate at lower voltages. High applied voltage and lower ambient pressure, commonly envisaged in more and all-electric aircraft, pose significant challenges, as their effects on PD activity and space charge accumulation differ, thereby affecting the apparatus's lifetime. To improve the reliability of aircraft electric motors' performance, it is essential to accurately predict the breakdown performance of the magnet wires used as windings in the motors at low-pressure levels. In this article, we investigate the effect of low pressures on the breakdown voltage of magnet wires with insulation Type I.

    While wide bandgap (WBG) switches have revolutionized power electronics and motor-drive systems, the high dv/dt associated with these fast-switching semiconductors can easily induce reflected high-frequency overvoltage spikes on motor stator terminals. The shorter rise time of the voltage pulses confines the cable length between the inverter and the motor in practice to avoid overvoltage across the motor stator windings. Even with shorter cables, voltage spikes from variable-speed drives can still cause premature insulation failure and reduce the remaining useful lifetime of the motors. While effective, conventional methods such as dv/dt passive filters or active gate drivers are usually bulky and/or inefficient. To address this problem, an overvoltage mitigation solution, named “Smart Coil,” is introduced in this article. The smart coil circuit is installed in parallel with the first coil of each motor phase, which typically experiences the highest reflected overvoltage. Upon detection of overvoltage, the proposed ultracompact smart coil circuit, located at the motor junction box, is activated to limit voltage stress across the coils. Since the smart coil is connected in parallel with the first coil, it only needs to process very low pulsed power during the overvoltage transients. Therefore, it has high efficiency and an ultracompact footprint while effectively mitigating voltage spikes. The proposed smart coil circuit can be easily scaled for various motor-drive systems regardless of the cable length or rise time of the switching devices. Simulation and experimental test results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
