TY - CONF A1 - Barnefske, Lena A1 - Wachtendorf, Volker T1 - Self-healing silicone rubber for F-POF partial discharge sensors in HV cable accessories N2 - To avoid a catastrophic failure of insulation in high-voltage (HV) applications, a monitoring of partial discharges (PD) is necessary. Fluorescently labelled polymer optical fibres (F-POF) offer an electrically passive method for PD detection in HV facilities. F-POF could be embedded into HV cable insulation material, which are usually made of silicone rubber. Due to the difficult accessibility of HV cable accessories, a self-healing silicone rubber, based on incorporated capsules, with prolonged service life after PD detection represents an attractive material design for HV electrical insulation.

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.
