The electrical insulating design is important to realize a HTS power cable because the cable is operated under the high voltage environment. For the insulation design of a HTS power cable, it is necessary to investigate the AC, impulse breakdown and partial discharge(PD) inception stress of liquid nitrogen/LPP composite insulation system. Based on these results, the electrical insulation of a HTS power cable is designed and Mini-model cables are manufactured. The manufactured Mini-model cables are evaluated that AC, impulse withstand voltage, breakdown and partial discharge inception stress and analyzed characteristics insulation of HTS cable bending condition according to this paper. From these tests, the AC, impulse withstand voltage test and partial discharge inception stress is satisfied "standard technical specification of KEPCO" in Korea and the breakdown voltage was 120kV.

The excellent dielectric properties of $SF_6$(sulfur hexafluoride) have lead to its wide range of application in the field of high voltage insulation. Because there has been some recent concern regarding the environmental impacts of $SF_6$ binary gas mixtures, with $SF_6$ as the main component, have been the subject of active research. Scientists have long been interested in the possible use of gaseous fluorocarbons, including $CF_4$ (Carton Tetrafluoride), in high voltage applications due to their inert character and high dielectric strength. This paper presents experimental results concerning the AC breakdown characteristics lot various mixtures of $SF_6/CF_4$ in a test chamber and 25.8 kV GIS (Gas Insulation Switchgear) at practical pressures (0.1-04 MPa) and gap lengths (0.5 mm, 1 mm) in a test chamber. In the result, it was observed that an increase in the dielectric strength is attained through the addition of $SF_6$ to $CF_4$. It is possible to make an environment friendly gas insulation material while maintaining the dielectric strength by combing $SF_6$ and $CF_4$ which generates a lower level of the "global warming" effect.

To assess the condition of stator insulation, nondestructive tests were performed on twenty five coil groups and twenty six motors. The stator windings has nominal ratings of 6.6kV and are classified into five coil groups ;one group with healthy insulation and four groups with four different types of artificial defects. After completing nondestructive tests, the AC voltage applied to the stator windings was gradually increasing until insulation failure in order to obtain the breakdown voltage. No.1, No.2 and No.6 of 6.6kV motors failed near rated voltage of 14kV, 8.7kV and 14kV, respectively. The breakdown voltage of three motors was lower that expected for good quality coils(14.2kV) in 6.6kV motors. No.3 and No.6 of 4.16kV motors failed near rated voltage of 5.6kV and 4.2kV, respectively. Almost all of failures were located in a line-end coil at the exit from the core slot. The breakdown voltages and the types of defects showed strong relation to the stator insulation tests such as in the case of AC current, dissipation factor(tan${\delta}$) and partial discharge magnitude.

Breakdown characteristics and survival probability of turn-to-turn models were investigated under ac and impulse voltage at 77K. For experiments, two test electrode models were fabricated: One is point contact model and the other is surface contact model. Both are made of copper wrapped by O.025mm thick polyimide film(Kapton). The experimental results were analyzed statistically using Weibull distribution in order to examine the wrapping number effects on voltage-time characteristics under ac voltage as well as under impulse voltage in LN$_{2}$. Also survival analysis were performed according to the Kaplan-Meier method. The breakdown voltages of surface contact model are lower than that of point contact model, because the contact area of surface contact model is wider than that of point contact model. Besides, the shape parameter of point contact model is a little bit larger than that of surface contact model. The time to breakdown t$_{50}$ is decreased as the applied voltage is increased, and the lifetime indices slightly are increased as the number of layers is increased. According to the increasing applied voltage and decreasing wrapping number, the survival probability is increased.

This paper presents a statistical approach to analyze electrical tree inception voltage, electrical tree breakdown voltage and tree breakdown time of unsaturated polyester resin subjected to AC voltage. The aim of this work was to show that Weibull and lognormal distribution may not be the most suitable distributions for analysis of electrical treeing data. In this paper, an investigation of statistical distributions of electrical tree inception voltage, electrical tree breakdown voltage and breakdown time data was performed on 108 leaf-like specimen samples. Revelations from the test results showed that Johnson SB distribution is the best fit for electrical tree inception voltage and tree breakdown time data while electrical tree breakdown voltage data is best suited with Wakeby distribution. The fitting step was performed by means of Anderson-Darling (AD) Goodness-of-fit test (GOF). Based on the fitting results of tree inception voltage, tree breakdown time and tree breakdown voltage data, Johnson SB and Wakeby exhibit the lowest error value respectively compared to Weibull and lognormal.

This paper deals with the method and algorithm used to find fault locations in gas insulated transmission line. The method uses UHF sensors and digital oscilloscope to detect discharge signals emitted to the outside through insulating spacer in the event of breakdown inside GIL. UHF sensors are the external type and installed at outside of insulating spacers of GIL. And we used wavelet signal processing to analyze the discharge signals and confirm the exact fault location findings in the GIL test line. This method can overcome demerit of TDR(Time Domain Reflectometer) method having been applied to detect fault location for conventional underground transmission lines, and Ground Fault Sensors used in conventional GIS systems. TDR method requires high level of specialty and experience in analyzing the measured signals. Ground fault sensors are installed inside GIL and can be destroyed by high transient voltage. This paper's method can simplify the fault location process and minimize the damage of sensors. In addition, this method can estimate the fault location only by the time difference when discharge signals are arrived to detecting sensors at the ends of GIL sections without reasons of breakdown. To test the performance of our method, we installed sensors at the ends of test line of GIL(84m) and sensed discharge signals occurred in GIL, energized with AC voltage generator up to 700kV.

Diagnostic tests were performed on six high voltage motors. These tests included ac current, dissipation factor(tan6) and partial discharge(PD) magnitude. The rewind of motor stator insulation at rated voltage is assessed by the results of these tests. After completing the diagnostic tests, the stator windings of motors were subjected to gradually increasing ac voltage, until the insulation punctured. No. 1 and No.2 motors(4.16 kV) failed near rated voltage of 12.3 kV and 14.2 kV, respectively. The breakdown voltage of No.3 and No.4 motors(6.6 kV) was 17.6 kV and 17.8 kV, respectively. These motors are higher that expected for good quality coils in 6.6 kV class motors.

Objective of the study is development of 23kV insulating jackets for protection of workers from electrical shock. The breakdown voltage of Ethylene-VinylAcetate copolymers(EVA) films in insulating oil were measured. Insulating jackets were made by the high frequency welding machine, and withstanding voltage test of these were measured. For breakdown voltage at AC 30kV, the number of EVA film with $105{\pm}5{\mu}m$ thickness was 4$\sim$5pieces. When AC 30kV during 3 minutes supplied on the insulating jackets, those were keep on the good quality.
