In order to increase the coupling strength between bisphenol-A type epoxy resin and filler SiO$_{2}$ it was treated to filler with silane coupling agent[KBM-603]. To observe how silane coupling agent effects on dielectric breakdown strength of Epoxy/SiO$_{2}$ compound material, specimens of eight type were made like following. (A-1, A-2), (B-1, B-2), (C-1, C-2), (D-1, D-2) (see 2-2. Specimen) Specimen treated with silane coupling agent had always bigger dielectric breakdown strength than non-treated specimen. Under the influence of silane coupling agent, increment ratio of dielectric breakdown strength at specimen manufactured by hand drill was very bigger than that of specimen inserted spherical electrode. Therefore, as the specimen shape was varied, it was studied on effect that silane coupling agent affects on dielectric breakdown strength of Epoxy/SiO$_{2}$ compound material.

In this paper, we investigated the effects of gap length and tip radius influenced in breakdown of mineral based insulation oil Electrode system was needle-plane geometry It is to model conductive extrusions in oil filled electrical power apparatus. The tip radius of needle electrode was 5, 10, 20 and 25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively. We measured breakdown voltage for each of tip radius with increasing electrode gap, 2mm to 12mm. It was calculated electrical breakdown strength at tip using Mason\`s equation from breakdown voltage As gap lenght increased. breakdown strength increased linearly. But, as tip radius of needle increased, breakdown strength decreased exponentially. It can be explained by tole phenomenon that electron is easily injected, as tip radius increases, and effective work function decreases. When appling DC voltage. breakdown 7tr7ilgtll was higher wheal polarity of needle was negative than positive. It is because of the space charge effect ill accordance with the influence of liquid motion.

Electrolytic power capacitors today form essential components for virtually any power electronic system such as DC/DC converter or UPS. Frequently, electrolytic capacitors for DC link voltage smoothing are the key components which determine the life cycle of the whole unit and often are responsible for converter breakdown failures. In this paper, ethernet-based remote diagnosis system for DC voltage smoothing capacitor using DSP control board is developed. To estimate the status of the capacitor, the equivalent series resistor(ESR) of the component has to be determined. The ESR detection scheme is based on the determination of the capacitor ripple power losses calculated from DC link voltage/current measurement. Experimental results show the veridity and reliability of the proposed ethernet-based remote on-line capacitor diagnosis system.

In this paper, we experimented and analyzed about electric fire risk assessment methods of LED lightings for outdoor. LED lighting is composed of AC power lines, AC/DC converter, DC power lines and LED lamps. There are some risk factors of electric fire in LED lighting such as short circuit between power lines or power line and ground, dielectric breakdown, leakage current, abnormal voltage inflow, poor contacts(connections), etc. As a result of this study, insulation coverings of wire was ignited due to dielectric breakdown between power lines and molten marks were formed in copper conductor. LED lighting was blown out while short circuit, beside that, electrical disorder did not occur. When abnormal voltage was inflowed, electronic components such as varistor, condenser were damaged. Partial heating was produced and insulation was melted and carbonized by arc and heating while poor contacts were happened. We expect that the results of this study would be helpful for electrical safety of LED lightings for outdoor.

A micro-scale discharge device has been fabricated using MEMS technology and failure mechanisms during DC discharge are investigated for the microstructure. The failure of sustaining the plasma is mainly caused by either open or short of the micro-electrodes, both resulting from the sputtered metal atoms during the DC discharge. The glow discharge lifetime of the microstructures is found to depend on bias circuit scheme as well as the electrode structure. Based on the understanding of the failure mechanism, a novel microstructure is suggested to improve discharge lifetime and the longer lifetime is experimentally demonstrated. In addition to the failure mechanism, an electric breakdown between two electrodes with microns gap are studied using micromachined metal structures. The electrode gap is able to be accurately controlled by thickness of a sacrificial layer and the electric breakdown was measured while varying the gap from $2{\mu}m$ to $20{\mu}m$. The electric breakdown behavior was found to highly depend on the electrode material, which was not considered in Paschen's law.

Converter transformers play important roles in high-voltage direct current transmission systems. This paper presents experimental and analysis results of the combined electrical and thermal aging of oil-impregnated paper at pulsating DC voltages. Breakdown voltages and time-to-breakdown of oil-paper specimens were measured by using short-time and constant-stress tests. The breakdown characteristics of combined electrical and thermal aging on insulation system were discussed. According to the relationship between failure time and aging temperature, the two-parameter Weibull model was improved. On the basis of the competing risk algorithm and the improved Weibull model, the two factors failure model was calculated. And the influence of temperature in the insulation system has been analyzed. This model performs better than the two-parameter Weibull model when both time and temperature are considered as variables in estimating the lifetime of oil-paper insulation.

Dielectric breakdown strength (Eb) of thin Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride ; PVDF) film is studied in the temperature range between 4.2 K and 400 K. The results of this study can be summerized as follows. 1) Temperature dependence of dielectric breakdown strength (Eb) can be devided into high and low temperature regions. The critical temperature (Tc) at which two regions are devided depends on applied voltage. 2) Dielectric breakdown strength (Eb) by pulse voltage is higher than that by DC voltage. Especially this difference is remarkable at low temperature.

This paper gives a basic data of the breakdown characteristics of l-Air(Imitation Air, $N_2:O_2=79:21$) and $SF_6$ gas based on temperature variations in experimental GIS model by applying negative DC voltage. The breakdown charcteristics were compared with gas pressures and each gas already entered in GIS model. The characteristics of l-Air and $SF_6$ were different in specific temperature range that $SF_6$ gas was being liquefied. The breakdown voltages of $SF_6$ were more higher than l-Air except for 4[atm] at $-10{\sim}0[^{\circ}C]$.
