The intention of this tutorial is to teach the basics of failure mechanisms of insulating materials in power electronics. Decreasing size and high operating voltages result in a high stress level for the electrical insulating system of power electronics. Thus, it becomes more important to use highly effective and reliable insulating materials. For the design of the insulation materials an extensive knowledge of the different failure and erosion mechanisms is necessary. Power electronics, used in outdoor areas, are exposed to environmental conditions. Extended temperature range, humidity and pollution are stressing the insulation characteristics of the materials. Thus, another topic is the influence of environmental conditions on the failure mechanisms of the insulating material. The participants will understand the different breakdown and aging mechanisms as well as the different possibilities to protect against these failures. Moreover, the testing procedures for materials and the evaluation of life-time curves, based on experimental and statistical methods are presented.
