The main objective of this paper is to design and mechanical strength analysis of UHV(Ultra High Voltage) suspension insulator. One of the important properties required for suspension insulators is mechanical strength under tensile load. The cement and porcelain part are express according to change of pin head type an aspect mechanical stress. These insulators are designed and produced by using the computer analysis of mechanical, electrical and electrical stresses together with the technical know-how accumulated from long years of study into every respect of insulators.

V type suspension string sets prevent instabilities from swing motion by the horizontal angle and by wind pressure. These installation conditions are controled mainly 3 items - normal swing angle by horizontal angle of line, unusual swing angle by strong wind, minimum vertical loads. We calculated and analysed that factors for the 765kV transmission line condition. And we were tested swing characteristics of V-string sets in real size test situation. So, we find to installation condition for the V type suspension string sets. This results will be used to design of V type suspension string set and to decision of the installation condition.

Recently polymer composite materials has been replacing the porcelain in suspension insulators as a insulating material. The polymer composite materials are introduced into Korea from the abroad, so there is, actually, no formal standard of assessment Both the porcelain insulator specifications and composite material test specifications are being used at the same time. The aim of this project is to establish a systematic standard suitable to current situations considering the trends of its production within Korea. This would protect the inner-markets against the market-opening and would promote the industrial development within a country.

Suspension insulator in Catenary Trolley Wire Systems must have two characteristics, electric insulation and mechanical endurance. Because suspension insulator is used in supporting and insulating position between power supply parts and earth conducted supporting parts. The insulator's electric characteristics can be influenced by surface pollution and damage from the environment such as humidity, dust, smoke, salt. etc. And, the insulating parts can be electrically short. These electrically damaged insulator can cause serious accidents that have far-reaching effect. So appropriate management basis of suspension insulator is needed. And we present appropriate cleaning and the changing period of suspension insulator on the basis of actual data.

Porcelain suspension insulators have teen used for a long time in distribution line. However, Puncture breakdowns in porcelain insulators caused by weaking cement between metal fitting nad porcelain material. There is little puncture breakdown in Epoxy casting insulator. This paper presents electrical test results for the development of suspension insulator used Cycloaliphatic Epoxy resin. Items of test results are as follow - Power Arc test - Aging test - Impulse flashover voltage tests - Puncture tests et.al.

Because they have superior insulating properties and lower in price than their ceramic equivalents, polymeric insulators have been used in outdoor insulators. But polymeric insulators mainly using in an heavy contamination area of outdoor could be easily attached to contaminants such as salt and by-products of industrial processes. To understand its effect on contaminants adhered to these insulators, we dismounted polymeric insulators adhered contaminant in the field, and evaluated its electrical characteristics, CA, and ESDD. We also manufactured slurry mixed by some kaolin and salt for the artificial contamination test and measured the degree of contaminant, AC leakage current for these contaminated samples. Consequently, the adhered contaminants to its surface is likely to be affected the performance of insulation.

The 400KN suspended insulator was fabricated with feldspar, quartz, clay and $Al_2O_3$ wt% for extra high voltage. These materials were grinded with ball milling for 25 hours after mixing them. The grinded materials were sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 50 minutes in the tunnel kiln after mading with jiggering method. The sintered density of specimen was reached at 97% in comparison with that of theory. The specimen had the characteristic of temperature rise with the increase of electrical losses. Also, the flexural strength and the fracture toughness of sintered parts respectively were 1658 kg/$cm^2$ and 2.3 $MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$.

In this paper a series of developing process for an insulator which can be employed in overhead distribution lines, using polymeric composite materials, is introduced. In order to design an insulator for heavily polluted area, weathershed of alternating type was adopted, which could have longer leakage distance. Modified EVA was used as surface material which has good electrical and mechanical characteristics as well as superior chemical stability. FRP core was covered with above surface material through heat shrinking process. By standardization of each process, higher productivity and lower production cost could be ensured. The developed insulator has been put under various tests including long-term field test and artificial aging test and satisfactory results were obtained.

This paper presents the results of performance confirmation tests for domestic 20 [Ton] transmission suspension insulators which will be widely utilized in transmission lines. The new test methods such as power arc test, steep-front-of-wave flashover voltage test, and etc. which have been only utilized for the distribution insulators were applied in transmission suspension insulators. The properties of metal and cement used in the 20 [Ton] transmission insulators were also evaluated by the various analysis techniques. Based on the results, we evaluated the performance of the transmission suspension insulators.

This paper presents some of the results of current research on 300 kN Suspension Insulator Design. In this paper, authors first used 2-dimensional field calculation to solve the electric field distribution of an insulator unit and insulator strings, and then 3-dimensional field calculation in order to overcome the shortcomings of 2-dimensional field calculation in which an axis-symmetrical coordinate has been used. And, it was found that the environmental configuration of 300 kN Suspension Insulator String gives great roles to the field distribution of the insulators.
