Recently a recital was held by CCTV in honor of her 60-year career. When Guo Lanying took the stage, she was met with a lengthy standing ovation. Her voice was choked with emotion. Behind her was a smiling photograph of her that was taken at the start of her opera career. Guo Lanying was born in 1930展开更多

On the basis of nano-compsite high dielectric constant aluminum oxide fdm growth technology, a new idea of adulterating Si oxide species into the aluminum composite film was proposed. As a result, the specific capacitance and withstanding voltage of the composite oxide film formed at the anodizing voltage of 20V are enhanced, and the leakage current of the aluminum composite oxide fdm is reduced through incorporation of Si oxide species.展开更多

Its reliable operation is an important factor to ensure the stable safety of the unit. In recent years, due to the failure of excitation transformer, some power plants have not stop, which has a great impact on the safety of equipment and power supply stability. Combined with the several failures of excitation transformer in a power generation enterprise in recent years, this paper sorts out the problems of excitation transformer in power plant caused by failure one by one, analyzes the causes in depth, and puts forward countermeasures.展开更多

Comparisons of results from different sources are often not meaningful, because the results are strongly dependent on the actual testing procedure. The aim of this study is to quantify the influence of voltage ramp rate, electrode size, electrode conditioning, and sample thickness on the measured AC dielectric strength of a commercial alumina. Mean values, Weibull moduli, and failure probabilities determined in standardized short time tests are evaluated and related to withstand voltage tests. Dielectric strength values in the range from 21.6 to 33.2 kV·mm–1 were obtained for the same material using different testing procedures. Short time tests resulted in small standard deviations(< 2 kV·mm–1) and high Weibull moduli around 30, while withstand tests at voltage levels with low and virtual zero failure probability in short time tests resulted in large scatter of withstand time and Weibull moduli < 1. The strong decrease in Weibull moduli is attributed to progressive damage from partial discharge and depolarization during AC testing. These findings emphasize the necessity of a thorough documentation of testing procedure and highlight the importance of withstand voltage tests for a comprehensive material characterization.展开更多
