Electrical Insulation Materials for Superconducting Coil Applications D. R. James, Member, IEEE, and I. Sauers, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract— The properties of electrical insulation materials at 0.21% to 0.25% from 310 K to 10 K over three temperature cryogenic temperatures required for High Temperature cycles [7]. Superconducting (HTS) power apparatus can differ significantly In order to screen candidate dielectric materials for thermal from those for conventional equipment in several key areas. For compatibility with conductors, a simple and quick thermal solid insulation these areas include possible changes in dielectric cycling test (or so-called dunk test) can be performed. For strength, dielectric loss, aging mechanisms and characteristics, partial discharge, thermal compatibility, and mechanical epoxies a metal bolt is cast in the epoxy, which is cured properties. This paper will focus on an overview of cryogenic according to manufacturers’ recommendations, including insulation issues relevant to HTS coil applications. vacuum deairing after mixing. The piece is then immersed rapidly in LN2 at 77 K without precooling. The sample is Index Terms—Dielectric breakdown, superconducting coils, removed after five minutes and is warmed to room partial discharges, cryogenics, epoxy resin insulation temperature. This procedure is repeated until the sample
