In order to evaluate the insulation deterioration in the stator windings of air-cooled gas turbine generators(119.2 MVA, 13.8 kV) which has been operating for more than 15 years, diagnostic test and AC dielectric breakdown test were performed on phases A, B and C. Diagnostic test included measurements of AC current, dissipation factor, partial discharge (PD) magnitude and capacitance. ${\Delta}I$ and ${\Delta}tan{\delta}$ in all three phases (A, B, and C) of generator stator windings showed that they were in good condition but PD magnitude indicated marginally serviceable condition. After the diagnostic test, an AC overvoltage test was performed by gradually increasing the voltage applied to the generator stator windings until electrical insulation failure occurred, in order to determine the breakdown voltage. Although phase A of generator stator windings failed at breakdown voltage of 29.0 kV, phases B and C endured the 29.0 kV. The breakdown voltage in all three phases was higher than that expected for good-quality windings (28.6 kV) in a 13.8 kV class generator.

A series of styrene-butadiene-styrene/aluminium (SBR/Al) composites have been compounded with different weight ratios of Al. The prepared SBR-Al systems have been characterized for different mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tensile modulus and surface hardness have improved with the increase in content of Al in SBR matrix. This may is because of the increase in polymer-filler interaction. The electrical properties such as volume conductivity, surface resistivity, dielectric constant, dissipation factor (tan delta), and break down voltage of SBR/Al composites have been measured with reference to volume fraction $(V_{f}),$ frequency and temperature. The resistance of the SBR-Al composites is found to be ohmic. The voltage-current (V-I) characteristics for SBR-Al also exhibit a linear relationship indicating the ohmic behavior.

Plasma polymerized thin films were manufactured inter-electrode coupled plasma polymerization apparatus. The deposition rate reached its maximum between 40[W] and 100[W]. In the ESCA analysis, peaks revealing -CH2, -CH, -C- were present at 285.4 and 285.5[eV] respectively. The C=O peak at 532.8[eV] and the C-O peak at 533.8[eV], which were grouped with an unignorable amount of oxygen were conformed. In ESR analysis, the curve revealing strong amplification was in saturation, which was affected by weak power. This is considered as a -CH-Ch=Ch- structure containing the Allyl group. The relative permittivity of the plasma polymerized thin films was about 3.5 at a frequency of 100[Hz]∼200[kHz]. The dissipation factor showed allow value of 0.008.

The electrical stability against surge stress of varistors, which are composed of Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Y oxide system, were investigated at different sintering times. As sintering time increases, the varistor voltage and nonlinear exponent decreased in the range of $279.6\~179.1$ and $52.5\~24.9$, respectively. On the contrary, the leakage current and dielectric dissipation factor increased in the range of $1.2\~9.8\;{\mu}A$ and 0.0461\~0.0651 with increase of sintering time. For all varistors, the variation rates of V-I characteristic parameters against surge stress were more strongly affected in order of varistor voltage ${\rightarrow}nonlnear$ $exponent{\rightarrow}leakage$ current. On the whole, the electrical stability against surge stress increased with increasing sintering time. Conclusively, it is assumed that the varistors sintered for 2 h exhibited comparatively good characteristics, in view of overall characteristics.

Power transformer insulation oil is critical to the useful life of the transformer. Although mineral base insulation oil is the most common type of transformer insulation oil in use, environmental and safety concerns has encouraged the development of biodegradable alternatives. Today, $Envirotemp^{(R)}\;FR3^{TM}$ is in commercial use and this study is aimed at ascertaining the possibility of applying the oil in Malaysia power transformers. A sample of $Envirotemp^{(R)}\;FR3^{TM}$ was tested to measure and compare the technical (including electrical, chemical and physical) properties of the oil according to Malaysian standards. The study found that the oil sample had better qualities, such as higher dielectric strength, lower dissipation factor, higher flash and fire points, higher moisture absorption capability, and less dissolved gases composition amongst others. However, it was also ascertained that further development in this area could be hindered due to Malaysia's lack of standards for biodegradable oil.

In this work, ultra high-voltage (17 - 50 kV AC), reliable 80 pF mica capacitors for partial discharge system application were investigated. Mica was used as the dielectric of the capacitors. Using the conservative design rule, over 3 individual $50\;{\mu}m$ thick mica sheets with a size of 30mm{\times}35mm were used with lead foils to form a parallel capacitor element and 20 mica sheets were interleaved with lead foils to form a series stack of parallel capacitor element to meet the requirements of the capacitors. The dimensions of the fabricated 80 pF capacitors for 17 kV AC and 50 kV AC were $90\;mm{\times}90\;mm$ and $95\;mm{\times}180\;mm$, respectively. The high-frequency characteristics of the capacitance (C) and dissipation factor (D) of the developed capacitors were measured using a capacitance meter. The developed capacitors exhibited C of 79.5 - 87.5 pF, had D of 0.001% over the frequency ranges of 150 kHz to 50 MHz, had a self-resonant frequency of 65 MHz, and showed results comparable to those measured for the capacitors prepared recently by $Adwel^{Tm}$. The developed capacitors also showed excellent characteristics for thermal shock test and temperature cycling test.

In recent year, Ferroelectric $BLT(Bi_{4-x}La_{x}Ti_{3}O_{12})$ is a promising candidate materials. This study was practiced to make good conditions of BL T targets. In this study, calcination and sintering temperature were kept at $750^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hour respectively. the density obtained 7.612, 7.98, $7.877g/cm^{3}$ as $La_{2}O_{3}$ contents were 0.0mol%, 0.25mol%, 0.5mol%. Especially, the lanthanum content of 0.5 mol% measured C-axis (117) preferred orientation more than the others targets in the XRD. In $\varepsilon_{r}-f$ relationship using by HP 4194 A impedance analyzer, the 0.5 mol% observed above 200 relative dielectric constant. but the dissipation factor was higher than others targets at 100Hz~13MHz range. SEM photograph with the content of $La_{2}O_{3}$ was observed like rod and plate types.

The microstructure and electrical properties of $ZnO-Pr_{6}$$O_{11}$ $-CoO-Y_2$$O_3$-based varistors were investigated with and without various metal oxide additives (NiO, MgO, and $Cr_2$$O_3$). The addition of NiO promoted the grain growth while that of Cr$_2$O$_3$ decreased average grain size. Thereby, the varistor voltage was higher in $Cr_2$$O_3$-added composition. Among $ZnO-Pr_{6}$ $O_{11}$ /$-CoO-Y_2$$O_3$-based varistors, the$ Cr_2$$O_3$-added varistor exhibited the highest nonlinear exponent (51.2), the lowest leakage current (1.3 $\mu$A), and the lowest dielectric dissipation factor (0.0433).

The microstructure, V-Ι characteristics, and stability of ZnO-P $r_{6}$ $O_{11}$ CoO-C $r_2$ $O_3$- $Y_2$ $O_3$-based varistor ceramics were investigated with cooling rate in the range of 2~8$^{\circ}C$/min. The cooling rate relatively weakly affected the microstructure, the varistor voltage, and the leakage current in the V-Ι characteristics. But the nonlinear exponent relatively strongly affected by cooling rate. The cooling rate also greatly affected the stability of V-Ιand dielectric characteristics for DC accelerated aging stress. On the whole, the varistors cooled with 4$^{\circ}C$/fin exhibited the highest performance in the densification, nonlinearity, and stability. Especially, they exhibited a high stability, in which the variation rate of the varistor voltage( $V_{1㎃}$), the nonlinear exponent($\alpha$), and the dissipation factor(tan $\delta$) is -1.4%, -4.9%, and ＋60.0%, respectively, under DC accelerated aging stress such as 0.95 $V_{1㎃}$15$0^{\circ}C$/12 h)
