In case of aged porcelain, the failure in basic performance tests happened in cool-heat tests. Based on this characteristic, we studied the method predicting failure phenomena through more severe accelerated cool-heat ageing and accelerating thermal mechanical performance tests. Test results indicated that the thermal stress by temperature gradient was more severe parameter than thermal stress by quenching cycles within a category of standard or accelerating methods. And there is no the deterioration of statistic strength, but the deterioration of strength according to accelerating tests is serious.

This study presents the thermal stress characteristics of TL porcelain insulators(healthy and ageing) by the accelerating thermal mechanical ageing test with forced temperature gradient. The test temperature gradient is $95^{\circ}C(-35{\sim}60^{\circ}C)$, it was focused to high temperature thermal stress as compared with IEC 60575 standard. There was no a discrimination in the case of healthy aluminous porcelain insulators, dissimilarly in crystoballite insulators according to this test method. It was indicated that the long tenn reliability by thermal stress was conformed reasonably through the conventional accelerating ageing test methods.

In this study, porcelain insulator samples which have a different alumina composition were manufactured in order to test electrical and mechanical properties and make an analysis of the propagation phenomena of micro cracks on porcelain body. From XRD quantitative analysis the crystalline phases were different with alumina composition, sample C and D which have about 17wt% Corundum phase without the Cristobalite phase shows better electrical and mechanical properties than sample A and 8 which have the Cristobalite phase. In dielectrics test on porcelain samples with below 17wt% alumina composition, it was found that the amount of glass phase$(SiO_2)$have an main effect to decrease the dielectric loss$(tan{\delta})$, and the dielectric breakdown voltage of aluminous porcelain insulators was largely affected by its relative density. As a micro cracks analysis, HRS were measured, then the intensity of HRS increased with the amount of alumina composition. On the other hand, the propagation behaviors of cracks was fairly influenced by the distribution of pores.

In this study. porcelain insulator samples which have a different alumina composition were manufactured in order to test electrical and mechanical properties and make an analysis of the propagation phenomena of micro cracks on porcelain body. From XRD quantitative analysis the crystalline phases were different with alumina composition, sample C and D which have about l7wt％ Corundum phase without the Cristobalite phase shows better electrical and mechanical properties than sample A and B which have the Cristobalite phase. In dielectrics test on porcelain samples with below l7wt％ alumina composition, it was found that the amount of glass phase(SiO$_2$) have an main effect to decrease the dielectric loss(tan$\delta$), and the dielectric breakdown voltage of aluminous porcelain insulators was largely affected by its relative density. As a micro tracks analysis, HRB were measured, then the intensity of HRB increased with the amount of alumina composition. On the other hand, the propagation behaviors of cracks was fairly influenced by the distribution of pores.
