This paper reports on the charge distribution measurements of submicron particles for three different charging mechanisms, which are spray electrification, bipolar ionization and corona discharge process, respectively. The number of elementary charges per particle was investigated by classifying and counting of a discrete mobility class. Charge distribution measurements were performed with NaCl particles generated from a collision atomizer for 0.01, 0.1, 1% NaCl solutions. Experimental results show than charge level of atomized NaCl particles is high and decreases with increasing the dissolved ion concentration. The charge level of the atomized NaCl particles can be reduced to that o Boltzmann equilibrium conditions by the bipolar ionization(Po(sup)210 bipolar ionizer). The charge level on NaCl particles passing through the corona discharge reactor is much higher than those of atomized or bipolar ionized NaCl particles. The evaluation of these measurements results in charge distribution of the submicron particles.

An electrical cascade impactor is a multi-stage impaction device to separate airborne particles into aerodynamic size classes using particle charging and electrical detection techniques. A Faraday cage and an aerosol charger, which are basic components of the electrical cascade impactor, were designed and evaluated in this study. The low-level current response of the Faraday cage was investigated with changing particle size and air flow rate by using sodium chloride (NaCl) particles. The response of the prototype Faraday cage was very similar to that of a commercial aerosol electrometer (TSI model 3068) within ${\pm}$5% for singly-charged particles. The response linearity of the prototype Faraday cage could be extended up to flow rate of 30 L/min. For the performance evaluation of the aerosol charger the monodisperse liquid dioctyl sebacate (DOS) particles, with diameters of 0.1∼0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$, were generated using spraying from an atomizer followed by evaporation-condensation process. Typical performance parameters of the aerosol charger such as P$.$n, wall loss, and elementary charges per particle were evaluated. The performance of the prototype aerosol charger was found to be close to that of the aerosol charger used in an electrical low pressure impactor (ELPI, Dekati).

일반적으로 커패시터는 빈번한 충 방전으로 시스템의 수명에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 고전압, 대전류의 HVDC 서브모듈용 필름 커패시터의 핵심 고장원인을 분석하여 커패시터의 설계 및 제조공정의 주의사항을 분석한다. 먼저 커패시터의 FMEA 수행을 통해 고장원인, 고장모드, 고장영향에 대해 분석한다. 커패시터의 고장에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 고장원인과 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해 커패시터에 대한 고장나무(Fault-tree)를 제시하고 설계인자와 구동환경의 조건에 따른 고장률을 분석한다. 커패시터 고장의 핵심 원인이 커패시턴스 변화에 있음을 확인하고, 커패시터의 고장률 저감을 위해서 커패시터의 설계와 제조공정 중 온도상승, 코로나 발생, 전극팽창, 절연거리 감소를 최소화할 필요가 있음을 검증한다.
