A transformation algorithm of dielectric response from time domain to frequency domain is presented In order to shortenmeasuring time of lowor ultralow frequency dielectric response characteristics the transformation algorithm is used in this paper totransform the time domain relaxation current to frequency domain current for calculating the low frequency dielectric dissipationfactor In addition it is shown from comparing the calculation results with actual test data that there is a coincidence for bothresults over a wide range of low frequencies Meanwhile the time domain test data of depolarization currents in dry and moistpressboards are converted into frequency domain results on the basis of the transformation The frequency domain curves ofcomplex capacitance and dielectric dissipation factor at the low frequency range are obtained Test results of polarization anddepolarization current (PDC) in pressboards are also given at the different voltage and polarization time It is demonstrated fromthe experimental results that polarization and depolarization current are affected significantly by moisture contents of the testpressboards and the transformation algorithm is effective in ultralow frequency of 10minus3Hz Data analysis and interpretation ofthe test results conclude that analysis of time-frequency domain dielectric response can be used for assessing insulation system inpower transformer
1 Introduction
Most of dangerous breakdowns in high voltage (HV) appa-ratus are caused by the aging effects of HV insulationsystem Reliable diagnostics for insulation system are cor-respondingly based on changes of the dielectric proper-ties Generally insulation diagnosis methods for large oil-impregnated power transformer include frequency domainmethod (frequency domain spectroscopy FDS) [1] timedomain voltagemethod (return voltagemeter RVM) [2] andcurrent method (polarization and depolarization currentPDC) [3] RVMcan only be used for analyzing depolarizationprocess of dielectric Nevertheless the change of dielectricconductivity cannot be shown in RVM Many researchersfocus their attention on the analysis of time domain andfrequency domain dielectric responses which has been usedfor diagnosing insulation aging of high voltage apparatus[4 5] As for FDS dielectric dissipation factor tan 120575(120596) and
dielectric capacitance 119862(120596) are investigated at the range oflow and ultralow frequency which can represent relaxationcharacteristics such as interfacial polarization and spacecharge polarization widely found in most of the dielectricsWith regard to PDC comparing the PDC curves betweennew factory oil and aged transformer oil indicates theoperating conditions of on-site power transformers [6]
The presentation of dielectric response in frequencydomain has advantages The real and imaginary part of thecomplex capacitance can be separated and the dissipationfactor is defined in frequency domain Transformation oftime domain to frequency domain is helpful to interpret databetter [7 8] Compared with FDS fast on-site measurementto dielectric characteristics can be accomplished by the useof PDC test Unlike the limited accuracy to PDC in higherfrequency range FDS analysis can be utilized over a widerange of frequency In traditional FDS nevertheless weneed a long time at very low frequency measurement In

vacuum the electric displacement 119863(119905) will grow as a resultof additional electrical (macroscopic) polarization 119875(119905) and(1) can be rewritten as
119863 (119905) = 1205760
119864 (119905) + 119875 (119905) (2)
The electrical polarization 119875(119905) can be divided into twoparts one represents ldquorapidrdquo polarization processes and theother represents ldquoslowrdquo polarization processes The electricalpolarization can be written as

In accordance with Amperersquos law [9 10] the electric field119864(119905) generates a total current density 119869(119905) which can bewritten as a sum of conduction vacuum and polarizationdisplacement current

where 120575(119905) is the delta function arising from the suddenlyapplied step voltage at 119905 = 0 The charging current 119894pol(119905)contains three parts the first one is related to the inherentconductivity of the test object and is independent of anypolarization process the middle part with the delta functioncannot be recorded in practice and is always ignored inthe calculation due to the large dynamic range of currentamplitudes arising from the very fast polarization processesat first and the last one represents all the ldquoslowrdquo polarizationprocesses during the applied voltage Therefore (7) can berewritten as

Obviously 119865(120596) is Fourier transform value of dielectricresponse function 119891(119905) namely complex dielectric suscep-tibility The Fourier transform is the link between timeand frequency domain The principle of superposition iseffective if the dielectric material is linear homogenous andisotropic Formula (13) shows the relationship between timeand frequency domain Consider

23 Transformation of Dielectric Response As mentionedbefore the Fourier transform is the link between time andfrequency domain [11 12] If the dielectric response function119891(119905) follows the ldquoCurie-von Schweidlerrdquo model its Fouriertransform can be calculated as follows

where Γ is the Gamma function Many results confirm thatthis method is effective with a narrow frequency range [13]
If the measured depolarization current can be approxi-mated by a piecewise ldquoCurie-von Schweidlerrdquo model Hamonapproximation [14] is an alternative for fast calculation ofthe time domain data into frequency domain But onlythe imaginary part of the complex permittivity 120576

It is shown that the imaginary part of the complexpermittivity at a frequency of 119891 cycles per second can beobtained directly from the current at a time 119905 equal to01f seconds after applying a direct step voltage Since thedepolarization current is easily measured if 119905 is large enoughthe method is adapted to the rapid evaluation of loss factorat frequency below 001 cycles per second where directmeasurement would be tedious or time consuming
According to dielectric Debye model [15] as shownin Figure 2 the depolarization current of linear insulationsystem can be expressed by the superposition of differentrelaxation current components When charging time is longenough dielectric response function 119891(119905) is proportional topolarization current Consider

3 Test System
The test samples are pressboards with the thickness of 1mmAfter polarization and depolarization current measurementthe frequency domain dielectric response is obtained throughthe above transformation thus dielectric dissipation factorcurves in low frequency can be illustrated The experimentalsystem mainly consists of high-voltage dc power supplyKeithley 6517B electrostatic meter testing electrode boxcontrol switch and PC The schematic diagram of experi-mental circuit is shown in Figure 3 A dc high voltage can bechanged continuously with maximum output voltage of 5 kVThe three-electrode system is used with 50mm diameter ofmeasure electrode and 2mm protection gap
4 Results and Discussions
For verifying the transform of dielectric response fromtime to frequency domain the pressboard samples withthickness of 1mm were used Applied polarization voltagesrespectively were 250V 500V and 1000V with polarizationtime of 100 s For comparing conveniently the polarizationcurrent was given in the absolute value Experimental resultsare shown in Figure 4 which prove that the amplitude ofpolarization and depolarization current will be affected bydifferent polarization voltages Moreover there are the samedeclined trends to the curves of polarization and depolariza-tion current individually The higher the polarization voltageis the bigger the current amplitude is It is shown fromtest results that there are better linear characteristics for thepressboards
Because of the long polarization time for insulationmate-rial the process of dielectric polarization is more sufficientand there is more information related to polarized patternwhich is more suitable for insulation condition assessment ofthe insulation system The phenomena can be called herebyldquomemory effectrdquo In order to explain it the experimentswere carried out with the pressboard of 1mm thicknesspolarization voltage of 500V and polarization time of 100 s
200 s and 400 s individually as shown in Figure 5 Thedependence of depolarization current is roughly coincidentwithin initial 30 s but the curves of depolarization currenthave upward tendency with the increase of polarization timeThe phenomena illustrate adequately that more boundedcharge will appear with full polarization process in dielectricand more internal information can be obtained
As a strong polar molecule for ageing by-products ofpressboard polarization and depolarization currents are verysensitive to moisture Two similar pressboards of 1mm wererespectively marked as A and B Samples A and B were putinto drying oven for heating and drying under the sameconditions Then sample B was put in damp environmentmaintaining up to 24 hours with absorption of moistureThe polarization and depolarization currents of A and Bwere tested with applied voltage of 500V polarization anddepolarization time of 2000 s As shown in Figure 6 currentamplitude of sample B becomes higher than that of sampleA due to the absorption of moisture In addition when thevoltage is applied because of strong polarity of moisturethe more moisture is produced the more bounded chargesappear therefore the depolarization process will slow downAccording to the above theoretical analysis discrete signalsof depolarization current in dry and moisture pressboardwere probed at first Test data were fitted according topolynomial curve to generate the time domain formula andwere calculated by the use of the transform algorithm toget the frequency domain properties of pressboards Thegeometric capacitance of model is 174 pF The dielectricdissipation factor real part and imaginary part of complexcapacitance in frequency domain are shown in Figures 7ndash9
As shown in Figure 7 dielectric dissipation factor ofsample B is higher than that of sample A and curves ofdielectric dissipation factor decline slowly with increasingfrequency As shown in Figures 8 and 9 the calculated realpart of complex capacitance is identical with both discreteand continuous transformations The complex capacitanceof dry pressboard A is not changed obviously in the wholefrequency range
Nevertheless the real part of complex capacitanceincreases clearly for the moist pressboard B and the differ-ence between A and B becomes very little with the increaseof frequency Calculated curves of discrete transform arecoincident with value of continuous transform in the formerpart of the curves The former is less than the latter partand there is no excessive error With regard to the real partof capacitance the change dependence between pressboardsA and B was basically identical and only the amplitude ofpressboard B is higher than that of A Therefore imaginarypart of the complex capacitance will be increased due toexisting moisture
According to the theoretical and experimental resultshere presented transformation algorithm and derived for-mula can not only carry out measurements more rapid incontrast to the PDC test but also show more changingpatterns of dielectric parameters from the response curvesAs shown in Figure 8 different effects of moisture ondependence of real part complex capacitance are obviousThe distinctions are more evident at the frequency range

5 Conclusions
Based on theoretical analysis in this paper the test resultsof polarization and depolarization current in pressboards aregiven at different voltage and polarization times It is shownfrom the experimental results that the polarization anddepolarization currents are affected significantly by moisturecontents of the pressboard samples In addition linear char-acteristics of pressboard are explained and it is shown thatmore sufficient polarization process can help obtain furtherinternal information of dielectric The dependence of curvesof dielectric dissipation factor in frequency domain whichis obtained by calculation shows that dielectric dissipation

Comparing the calculating results with actual test datathere is a coincidence for both results in low frequency rangewhich demonstrates the feasibility and practicability It is con-cluded that dielectric dissipation factor in the low frequencyrange can be calculated by the use of the transform algorithmto the depolarization current in time domain which canreplace test value in low frequency range consequently it is arapid assessment method for dielectric diagnosis

21 Dielectric Response in Time Domain Assuming a homo-geneous electric field 119864(119905) is applied over a vacuum-insulatedelectrode arrangement the electric displacement 119863(119905) isproportional to the electric field 119864(119905)
119863 (119905) = 1205760
119864 (119905) (1)
where 1205760
is vacuum permittivityIf any kind of isotropic dielectric materials replaces the
vacuum the electric displacement 119863(119905) will grow as a resultof additional electrical (macroscopic) polarization 119875(119905) and(1) can be rewritten as
119863 (119905) = 1205760
119864 (119905) + 119875 (119905) (2)
The electrical polarization 119875(119905) can be divided into twoparts one represents ldquorapidrdquo polarization processes and theother represents ldquoslowrdquo polarization processes The electricalpolarization can be written as
119875 (119905) = 1205760

is optical frequency permittivity The ldquorapidrdquopolarization follows the applied electric field whereas ldquoslowrdquopolarization is built up from a convolution integral betweenthe applied electric field and a function which is called thedielectric response function 119891(119905) The dielectric responsefunction represents the ldquomemoryrdquo effects in a dielectricmaterial and has the following characteristics

In accordance with Amperersquos law [9 10] the electric field119864(119905) generates a total current density 119869(119905) which can bewritten as a sum of conduction vacuum and polarizationdisplacement current

According to the theory of dielectric response when fixedelectric field 119864(119905) generated by an external voltage 119880(119905) isapplied to isotropic dielectric material the total current 119894(119905)in dielectric can be written as

where 120575(119905) is the delta function arising from the suddenlyapplied step voltage at 119905 = 0 The charging current 119894pol(119905)contains three parts the first one is related to the inherentconductivity of the test object and is independent of anypolarization process the middle part with the delta functioncannot be recorded in practice and is always ignored inthe calculation due to the large dynamic range of currentamplitudes arising from the very fast polarization processesat first and the last one represents all the ldquoslowrdquo polarizationprocesses during the applied voltage Therefore (7) can berewritten as

Obviously 119865(120596) is Fourier transform value of dielectricresponse function 119891(119905) namely complex dielectric suscep-tibility The Fourier transform is the link between timeand frequency domain The principle of superposition iseffective if the dielectric material is linear homogenous andisotropic Formula (13) shows the relationship between timeand frequency domain Consider

Therefore frequency domain expression of total currentin dielectric material under 119880(120596) is

23 Transformation of Dielectric Response As mentionedbefore the Fourier transform is the link between time andfrequency domain [11 12] If the dielectric response function119891(119905) follows the ldquoCurie-von Schweidlerrdquo model its Fouriertransform can be calculated as follows

where Γ is the Gamma function Many results confirm thatthis method is effective with a narrow frequency range [13]
If the measured depolarization current can be approxi-mated by a piecewise ldquoCurie-von Schweidlerrdquo model Hamonapproximation [14] is an alternative for fast calculation ofthe time domain data into frequency domain But onlythe imaginary part of the complex permittivity 120576

It is shown that the imaginary part of the complexpermittivity at a frequency of 119891 cycles per second can beobtained directly from the current at a time 119905 equal to01f seconds after applying a direct step voltage Since thedepolarization current is easily measured if 119905 is large enoughthe method is adapted to the rapid evaluation of loss factorat frequency below 001 cycles per second where directmeasurement would be tedious or time consuming
According to dielectric Debye model [15] as shownin Figure 2 the depolarization current of linear insulationsystem can be expressed by the superposition of differentrelaxation current components When charging time is longenough dielectric response function 119891(119905) is proportional topolarization current Consider

3 Test System
The test samples are pressboards with the thickness of 1mmAfter polarization and depolarization current measurementthe frequency domain dielectric response is obtained throughthe above transformation thus dielectric dissipation factorcurves in low frequency can be illustrated The experimentalsystem mainly consists of high-voltage dc power supplyKeithley 6517B electrostatic meter testing electrode boxcontrol switch and PC The schematic diagram of experi-mental circuit is shown in Figure 3 A dc high voltage can bechanged continuously with maximum output voltage of 5 kVThe three-electrode system is used with 50mm diameter ofmeasure electrode and 2mm protection gap
4 Results and Discussions
For verifying the transform of dielectric response fromtime to frequency domain the pressboard samples withthickness of 1mm were used Applied polarization voltagesrespectively were 250V 500V and 1000V with polarizationtime of 100 s For comparing conveniently the polarizationcurrent was given in the absolute value Experimental resultsare shown in Figure 4 which prove that the amplitude ofpolarization and depolarization current will be affected bydifferent polarization voltages Moreover there are the samedeclined trends to the curves of polarization and depolariza-tion current individually The higher the polarization voltageis the bigger the current amplitude is It is shown fromtest results that there are better linear characteristics for thepressboards
Because of the long polarization time for insulationmate-rial the process of dielectric polarization is more sufficientand there is more information related to polarized patternwhich is more suitable for insulation condition assessment ofthe insulation system The phenomena can be called herebyldquomemory effectrdquo In order to explain it the experimentswere carried out with the pressboard of 1mm thicknesspolarization voltage of 500V and polarization time of 100 s
200 s and 400 s individually as shown in Figure 5 Thedependence of depolarization current is roughly coincidentwithin initial 30 s but the curves of depolarization currenthave upward tendency with the increase of polarization timeThe phenomena illustrate adequately that more boundedcharge will appear with full polarization process in dielectricand more internal information can be obtained
As a strong polar molecule for ageing by-products ofpressboard polarization and depolarization currents are verysensitive to moisture Two similar pressboards of 1mm wererespectively marked as A and B Samples A and B were putinto drying oven for heating and drying under the sameconditions Then sample B was put in damp environmentmaintaining up to 24 hours with absorption of moistureThe polarization and depolarization currents of A and Bwere tested with applied voltage of 500V polarization anddepolarization time of 2000 s As shown in Figure 6 currentamplitude of sample B becomes higher than that of sampleA due to the absorption of moisture In addition when thevoltage is applied because of strong polarity of moisturethe more moisture is produced the more bounded chargesappear therefore the depolarization process will slow downAccording to the above theoretical analysis discrete signalsof depolarization current in dry and moisture pressboardwere probed at first Test data were fitted according topolynomial curve to generate the time domain formula andwere calculated by the use of the transform algorithm toget the frequency domain properties of pressboards Thegeometric capacitance of model is 174 pF The dielectricdissipation factor real part and imaginary part of complexcapacitance in frequency domain are shown in Figures 7ndash9
As shown in Figure 7 dielectric dissipation factor ofsample B is higher than that of sample A and curves ofdielectric dissipation factor decline slowly with increasingfrequency As shown in Figures 8 and 9 the calculated realpart of complex capacitance is identical with both discreteand continuous transformations The complex capacitanceof dry pressboard A is not changed obviously in the wholefrequency range
Nevertheless the real part of complex capacitanceincreases clearly for the moist pressboard B and the differ-ence between A and B becomes very little with the increaseof frequency Calculated curves of discrete transform arecoincident with value of continuous transform in the formerpart of the curves The former is less than the latter partand there is no excessive error With regard to the real partof capacitance the change dependence between pressboardsA and B was basically identical and only the amplitude ofpressboard B is higher than that of A Therefore imaginarypart of the complex capacitance will be increased due toexisting moisture
According to the theoretical and experimental resultshere presented transformation algorithm and derived for-mula can not only carry out measurements more rapid incontrast to the PDC test but also show more changingpatterns of dielectric parameters from the response curvesAs shown in Figure 8 different effects of moisture ondependence of real part complex capacitance are obviousThe distinctions are more evident at the frequency range

Obviously 119865(120596) is Fourier transform value of dielectricresponse function 119891(119905) namely complex dielectric suscep-tibility The Fourier transform is the link between timeand frequency domain The principle of superposition iseffective if the dielectric material is linear homogenous andisotropic Formula (13) shows the relationship between timeand frequency domain Consider

23 Transformation of Dielectric Response As mentionedbefore the Fourier transform is the link between time andfrequency domain [11 12] If the dielectric response function119891(119905) follows the ldquoCurie-von Schweidlerrdquo model its Fouriertransform can be calculated as follows

where Γ is the Gamma function Many results confirm thatthis method is effective with a narrow frequency range [13]
If the measured depolarization current can be approxi-mated by a piecewise ldquoCurie-von Schweidlerrdquo model Hamonapproximation [14] is an alternative for fast calculation ofthe time domain data into frequency domain But onlythe imaginary part of the complex permittivity 120576

It is shown that the imaginary part of the complexpermittivity at a frequency of 119891 cycles per second can beobtained directly from the current at a time 119905 equal to01f seconds after applying a direct step voltage Since thedepolarization current is easily measured if 119905 is large enoughthe method is adapted to the rapid evaluation of loss factorat frequency below 001 cycles per second where directmeasurement would be tedious or time consuming
According to dielectric Debye model [15] as shownin Figure 2 the depolarization current of linear insulationsystem can be expressed by the superposition of differentrelaxation current components When charging time is longenough dielectric response function 119891(119905) is proportional topolarization current Consider

3 Test System
The test samples are pressboards with the thickness of 1mmAfter polarization and depolarization current measurementthe frequency domain dielectric response is obtained throughthe above transformation thus dielectric dissipation factorcurves in low frequency can be illustrated The experimentalsystem mainly consists of high-voltage dc power supplyKeithley 6517B electrostatic meter testing electrode boxcontrol switch and PC The schematic diagram of experi-mental circuit is shown in Figure 3 A dc high voltage can bechanged continuously with maximum output voltage of 5 kVThe three-electrode system is used with 50mm diameter ofmeasure electrode and 2mm protection gap
4 Results and Discussions
For verifying the transform of dielectric response fromtime to frequency domain the pressboard samples withthickness of 1mm were used Applied polarization voltagesrespectively were 250V 500V and 1000V with polarizationtime of 100 s For comparing conveniently the polarizationcurrent was given in the absolute value Experimental resultsare shown in Figure 4 which prove that the amplitude ofpolarization and depolarization current will be affected bydifferent polarization voltages Moreover there are the samedeclined trends to the curves of polarization and depolariza-tion current individually The higher the polarization voltageis the bigger the current amplitude is It is shown fromtest results that there are better linear characteristics for thepressboards
Because of the long polarization time for insulationmate-rial the process of dielectric polarization is more sufficientand there is more information related to polarized patternwhich is more suitable for insulation condition assessment ofthe insulation system The phenomena can be called herebyldquomemory effectrdquo In order to explain it the experimentswere carried out with the pressboard of 1mm thicknesspolarization voltage of 500V and polarization time of 100 s
200 s and 400 s individually as shown in Figure 5 Thedependence of depolarization current is roughly coincidentwithin initial 30 s but the curves of depolarization currenthave upward tendency with the increase of polarization timeThe phenomena illustrate adequately that more boundedcharge will appear with full polarization process in dielectricand more internal information can be obtained
As a strong polar molecule for ageing by-products ofpressboard polarization and depolarization currents are verysensitive to moisture Two similar pressboards of 1mm wererespectively marked as A and B Samples A and B were putinto drying oven for heating and drying under the sameconditions Then sample B was put in damp environmentmaintaining up to 24 hours with absorption of moistureThe polarization and depolarization currents of A and Bwere tested with applied voltage of 500V polarization anddepolarization time of 2000 s As shown in Figure 6 currentamplitude of sample B becomes higher than that of sampleA due to the absorption of moisture In addition when thevoltage is applied because of strong polarity of moisturethe more moisture is produced the more bounded chargesappear therefore the depolarization process will slow downAccording to the above theoretical analysis discrete signalsof depolarization current in dry and moisture pressboardwere probed at first Test data were fitted according topolynomial curve to generate the time domain formula andwere calculated by the use of the transform algorithm toget the frequency domain properties of pressboards Thegeometric capacitance of model is 174 pF The dielectricdissipation factor real part and imaginary part of complexcapacitance in frequency domain are shown in Figures 7ndash9
As shown in Figure 7 dielectric dissipation factor ofsample B is higher than that of sample A and curves ofdielectric dissipation factor decline slowly with increasingfrequency As shown in Figures 8 and 9 the calculated realpart of complex capacitance is identical with both discreteand continuous transformations The complex capacitanceof dry pressboard A is not changed obviously in the wholefrequency range
Nevertheless the real part of complex capacitanceincreases clearly for the moist pressboard B and the differ-ence between A and B becomes very little with the increaseof frequency Calculated curves of discrete transform arecoincident with value of continuous transform in the formerpart of the curves The former is less than the latter partand there is no excessive error With regard to the real partof capacitance the change dependence between pressboardsA and B was basically identical and only the amplitude ofpressboard B is higher than that of A Therefore imaginarypart of the complex capacitance will be increased due toexisting moisture
According to the theoretical and experimental resultshere presented transformation algorithm and derived for-mula can not only carry out measurements more rapid incontrast to the PDC test but also show more changingpatterns of dielectric parameters from the response curvesAs shown in Figure 8 different effects of moisture ondependence of real part complex capacitance are obviousThe distinctions are more evident at the frequency range

3 Test System
The test samples are pressboards with the thickness of 1mmAfter polarization and depolarization current measurementthe frequency domain dielectric response is obtained throughthe above transformation thus dielectric dissipation factorcurves in low frequency can be illustrated The experimentalsystem mainly consists of high-voltage dc power supplyKeithley 6517B electrostatic meter testing electrode boxcontrol switch and PC The schematic diagram of experi-mental circuit is shown in Figure 3 A dc high voltage can bechanged continuously with maximum output voltage of 5 kVThe three-electrode system is used with 50mm diameter ofmeasure electrode and 2mm protection gap
4 Results and Discussions
For verifying the transform of dielectric response fromtime to frequency domain the pressboard samples withthickness of 1mm were used Applied polarization voltagesrespectively were 250V 500V and 1000V with polarizationtime of 100 s For comparing conveniently the polarizationcurrent was given in the absolute value Experimental resultsare shown in Figure 4 which prove that the amplitude ofpolarization and depolarization current will be affected bydifferent polarization voltages Moreover there are the samedeclined trends to the curves of polarization and depolariza-tion current individually The higher the polarization voltageis the bigger the current amplitude is It is shown fromtest results that there are better linear characteristics for thepressboards
Because of the long polarization time for insulationmate-rial the process of dielectric polarization is more sufficientand there is more information related to polarized patternwhich is more suitable for insulation condition assessment ofthe insulation system The phenomena can be called herebyldquomemory effectrdquo In order to explain it the experimentswere carried out with the pressboard of 1mm thicknesspolarization voltage of 500V and polarization time of 100 s
200 s and 400 s individually as shown in Figure 5 Thedependence of depolarization current is roughly coincidentwithin initial 30 s but the curves of depolarization currenthave upward tendency with the increase of polarization timeThe phenomena illustrate adequately that more boundedcharge will appear with full polarization process in dielectricand more internal information can be obtained
As a strong polar molecule for ageing by-products ofpressboard polarization and depolarization currents are verysensitive to moisture Two similar pressboards of 1mm wererespectively marked as A and B Samples A and B were putinto drying oven for heating and drying under the sameconditions Then sample B was put in damp environmentmaintaining up to 24 hours with absorption of moistureThe polarization and depolarization currents of A and Bwere tested with applied voltage of 500V polarization anddepolarization time of 2000 s As shown in Figure 6 currentamplitude of sample B becomes higher than that of sampleA due to the absorption of moisture In addition when thevoltage is applied because of strong polarity of moisturethe more moisture is produced the more bounded chargesappear therefore the depolarization process will slow downAccording to the above theoretical analysis discrete signalsof depolarization current in dry and moisture pressboardwere probed at first Test data were fitted according topolynomial curve to generate the time domain formula andwere calculated by the use of the transform algorithm toget the frequency domain properties of pressboards Thegeometric capacitance of model is 174 pF The dielectricdissipation factor real part and imaginary part of complexcapacitance in frequency domain are shown in Figures 7ndash9
As shown in Figure 7 dielectric dissipation factor ofsample B is higher than that of sample A and curves ofdielectric dissipation factor decline slowly with increasingfrequency As shown in Figures 8 and 9 the calculated realpart of complex capacitance is identical with both discreteand continuous transformations The complex capacitanceof dry pressboard A is not changed obviously in the wholefrequency range
Nevertheless the real part of complex capacitanceincreases clearly for the moist pressboard B and the differ-ence between A and B becomes very little with the increaseof frequency Calculated curves of discrete transform arecoincident with value of continuous transform in the formerpart of the curves The former is less than the latter partand there is no excessive error With regard to the real partof capacitance the change dependence between pressboardsA and B was basically identical and only the amplitude ofpressboard B is higher than that of A Therefore imaginarypart of the complex capacitance will be increased due toexisting moisture
According to the theoretical and experimental resultshere presented transformation algorithm and derived for-mula can not only carry out measurements more rapid incontrast to the PDC test but also show more changingpatterns of dielectric parameters from the response curvesAs shown in Figure 8 different effects of moisture ondependence of real part complex capacitance are obviousThe distinctions are more evident at the frequency range

5 Conclusions
Based on theoretical analysis in this paper the test resultsof polarization and depolarization current in pressboards aregiven at different voltage and polarization times It is shownfrom the experimental results that the polarization anddepolarization currents are affected significantly by moisturecontents of the pressboard samples In addition linear char-acteristics of pressboard are explained and it is shown thatmore sufficient polarization process can help obtain furtherinternal information of dielectric The dependence of curvesof dielectric dissipation factor in frequency domain whichis obtained by calculation shows that dielectric dissipation

Comparing the calculating results with actual test datathere is a coincidence for both results in low frequency rangewhich demonstrates the feasibility and practicability It is con-cluded that dielectric dissipation factor in the low frequencyrange can be calculated by the use of the transform algorithmto the depolarization current in time domain which canreplace test value in low frequency range consequently it is arapid assessment method for dielectric diagnosis

factor will shift upwards with the increase of moisture and beflat with increased frequency
Comparing the calculating results with actual test datathere is a coincidence for both results in low frequency rangewhich demonstrates the feasibility and practicability It is con-cluded that dielectric dissipation factor in the low frequencyrange can be calculated by the use of the transform algorithmto the depolarization current in time domain which canreplace test value in low frequency range consequently it is arapid assessment method for dielectric diagnosis
