the application of epoxy composite materials for outdoor insulating systems has some significant advantages compared with conventional inorganic materials, that is low weight in combination with high mechanical strength, small dimensions and design versatility. The experimental results for the basis composition and interlace characteristics of the matrix resin/inorganic fillers($SiO_2$) which are the composite materials have been studied. The electrical characteristics(electrical breakdown, dielectric, insulating resistivity, tracking) and mechanical characteristics( tensile strength, elongation, flexible strength) in the epoxy composite materials have been studied. The life of the epoxy composite material was evaluated by accelerated Weather-Ometer test and the degradation process due to outdoor exposure condition is discussed with respect to the mechanical and electrical properties.

This paper presents a composite camera calibration method to determine thermal degradation of power distribution equipment by combining an infrared (IR) camera and a color camera. A calibration jig was first constructed to match the properties of the two cameras. Our calibration and visualization techniques allow for the display of two images, one from the color camera and the other from the IR camera with different field of views (FOVs), on the screen at the same time. To confirm its validity, several case studies have been developed to analyze thermal deterioration limits of indoor and outdoor power distribution facilities.

The accelerated degradation phenomena in amorphous silicon thin film transistors due to both electrical stress and visible light illumination under the elevated temperature have been investigated systematically as a function of gate bias, light intensity, and stress time. It has been found that, in case of electrical stress, the thrshold voltage shifts of a-Si:H TFT's may be attributed to the defect creation process at the early stage, while the charge trapping phenomena may be dominant when the stressing periods exceed about 2 hours. It has been also observed that the degradation in the device characteristics of a-Si:H TFT's is accelerated due to multiple stress effects, where the defect creation mechanism may be more responsible for the degradation rather than the charge trapping mechanism.

In this paper, the complex accelerating degradation of traction motor driven with VVVF controlled inverter were performed on the form coil samples with the 200 Class insulation system. in order to evaluate the reliability and the long-term life. After aging, the dielectric and PD properties were investigated on the 10 cycles aging sample in the range of $20{\sim}160[^{\circ}C]$ and AC $250{\sim}2250[V]$ to diagnosis the condition of end-life and find the dominative factors of degradation.

In this paper, sample coils for stator form-wound winding of traction motor were tested by the accelerative thermal degradation, which composed of heat, vibration, moisture and overvoltage applying. Reliability and expected life were evaluated on the insulation system for 200 class traction motor. After aging of 10 cycles, insulation resistance and PI properties were investigated as diagnosis tests in the range of $20{\sim}160^{\circ}C$. Analysis of polarization properties was performed on the base of do current-time change.

It has been studied about the important consideration in designing and construction of the reliability assessment facilities including the combined testing system for simulating condition of acceleratedly deteriorated environment, which enable to test and evaluate the large-sized HV power apparatus without any disassembly up to transmission class in this paper. Also it is described simply about its ratings and main technical specifications and trial running of the system. To evaluate the performance characteristics against combined test condition for various power installation, especially for the polymer type insulators and kinds of bushings, brief investigation and an analysis of test objects and related international codes and standards have been conducted.

The evaluation of Single or multi-degregation of concrete coated by high performance surface penetration agency was examined through various tests, i.e., carbonation, absorption, carbonation + chloride ion and carbonation + chemical solution according to various high performance surface penetration agencies and various compressive strengths of base concrete. The 2 types of high performance surface penetration agencies were used i.e., inorganic and alcohol soluble. And 2 types of compressive strength of base concrete were used such as 21 30. MPa. The characteristics of concrete coated high performance surface penetration agency was more improved than that of non-coated concrete, and especially, water soluble inorganic agency was most effective. And if compressive strength of base concrete was low, the improved effects would be larger.

In this study, the stator form-winding sample coils based on silicone resin and polyimide were made for fault prediction and reliability estimation on the C-Class(200$\^{C}$ ) insulation system of traction motors. The complex accelerative degradation was periodically performed during 10 cycles, which was composed of thermal stress, fast rising surge voltage, vibration, water immersion and overvoltage applying. After aging of 10 cycles, the condition diagnosis test such as insulation resistance '||'&'||' polarization index, capacitance '||'&'||' dielectric loss and partial discharge properties were investigated in the temperature range of 20 ∼ 160$\^{C}$. Relationship among condition diagnosis tests was analyzed to find a dominative degradation factor and an insulation state at end-life point.

Recently polymer arresters are being used widely but we don't have appropriate long term characteristics test methods. Therefore we need to develop special test facility to evaluate long term reliability of polymer arresters. It's polymeric housing can be degraded by environmental stress and the interface between housing and inner module can be affected by moisture absorption. This moisture absorption can cause leakage current and tracking in the interface. We developed multi stress accelerated ageing test facility to simulate field conditions including UV, temperature, humidity, voltage, salt fog and rain. In addition, we carried out field exposure test at the outdoor test yard and characteristics analysis of field operated specimens to evaluate accelerating factor of this accelerated aging test.

In this paper, we investigated the change of wettability, surface potential decay and surface resistivity caused by thermal-treated and plasma-treated FRP respectively for finding out the influence of electrical characteristics on the surface of polymer composites. For the change of wettability, the contact angle of thermal-treated specimen with the high temperature of 200$^{\circ}C$ increased. But that of plasma-treated specimen decreased. The characteristic of surface potential decay shows the tendency of the remarkable decrease on plasma-treated specimens, but no difference on thermal-treated specimen compared with untreated one. Also, for the surface resistivity, it shows the same trend compared with the change of contact angle. We can conclude that the degradation phenomena of epoxy surface are dominated by the induction of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity.
