Cryogenic dielectric testing performed for the SMES-ETM program.

Author(s) : WU J. L.

Summary

A comprehensive testing program was undertaken in the superconducting magnetic energy storage-engineering test model (SMES-ETM) program to generate the required database. The test produced data of dielectric breakdown of liquid helium in the temperature range covering the lambda-transition region and data which include the effects on dielectric breakdown associated with large surface area/volume under electrical stress, mechanical stress, cryogen contamination and electrical stress aging of solid insulators.
