7.4.1 Test objects
1.
Turn-to-turn and layer-to-layer short
Turn-to-turn short refers to the short caused by the insulation damage between turns.
Layer-to-layer short occurs in the coil consisting of multiple layers. There are two
kinds of short: direct short and pull arc short, both of which are shown as more
dissipation.
2.
Bad coil
The different number of coils will cause the variation of inductance, which is reflected
as the change of oscillation period.
3.
Corona discharge
Due to the use of impulse high voltage, if the insulations between the coil and layer
and terminal are not strong enough, operator can observe the discharge and the corona
discharge phenomenons. The corona discharge that can be captured by the impulse
winding tester has weak energy. Instead of influencing the attenuation oscillation wave,
it is only displayed as discrete jumping points around the waveform of high potential.
4.
Material of magnetic core
Whether a magnet is used in the coil as the magnetic core or the magnet is poor, above
conditions of the magnet will influence the inductance and the dissipation. Likewise, if
air gas is designed in the magnetic core, the size of which will also have an impact on
the inductance and the dissipation. Effects mentioned above will show as changes of
the attenuating vibration period and the attenuation degree.
7.4.2 Select comparison method
Area size comparison is mainly used to compare the energy consumption.
Differential area comparison is sensitive to energy consumption and inductance change.
Corona comparison method is the best one for testing internal insulation of the coil.
Differential phase comparison is the most suitable one to show the inductance difference.
To test turn-to-turn short or layer-to-layer short, it is recommended to use Area Size
comparison.
Poor coil can be recognized by Differential Phase comparison.
The insulation performance has some impacts on the life span of the coil products. For this
reason, when the test occasion requires high standard of insulation performance, corona
comparison must be switched on.
The material difference of magnetic core can be tested by Area Size comparison,
Differential Area comparison or Corona comparison.
