PENGUJIAN KEKUATAN DIELEKTRIK MINYAK SAWIT DAN MINYAK CASTROL MENGGUNAKAN ELEKTRODE BOLA-BOLA DENGAN VARIASI JARAK ANTAR ELEKTRODE DAN TEMPERATUR
ABSTRACT: In this paper we
explained the breakdown voltage testing that has been done on two dielectric
liquid, castrol oil and palm oil using ball to ball electrode. This research
observed the effect analysis of electrode gap distance to breakdown voltage,
relation between temperature and breakdown voltage, liquid viscocity and
breakdown voltage, and increasing temperature to the liquid viscocity. As the
laboratory testing result, the breakdown voltage had proportional relation with
the electrode gap distance. Viscocity of the liquid influence with its
molecular structure and temperature. The liquid dieletricity depend on the
electric field exposed and its viscocity. Palm oil has better dielectricity
than castor oil in all distance variation and temperature. As the dielectric
material must have big breakdown voltage value, the palm oil seen to have this
feasibility according to its breakdown voltage 33,060 kV at gap distance 3 mm.
Keywords: breakdown voltage,
