TY - CONF A1 - Barnefske, Lena A1 - Wachtendorf, Volker T1 - Self-healing silicone rubber for fluorescent partial discharge POF sensors in high-voltage cable accessories T2 - 26th International Conference on Plastic Optical Fibres N2 - To avoid a catastrophic failure of insulation in high-voltage (HV) applications, a monitoring of partial discharges (PDs) is necessary. Fluorescently labelled polymer optical fibers (F-POF) offer an electrically passive method for PD detection in HV facilities. F-POFs could be embedded in HV cable accessories, which are usually made of silicone rubber. Herein they detect the light emitted by the PD and convert it into an electrical signal that can be monitored. Due to the difficult accessibility of HV cable accessories, a self-healing silicone rubber with prolonged service life after PD detection represents an attractive material design for HV accessories. With this contribution, we would like to present and discuss the possibilities of combining self-healing materials with POF-based sensors for PD detection in HV applications.
