The tracking pattern formed on the dielectric surface due to a surface electrical discharge exhibits fractal structure. In order to quantitatively investigate the fractal characteristics of the surface tracking pattern, the dielectric breakdown model has been employed to numerically generate the surface tracking pattern. In dielectric breakdown model, the pattern growth is determined stochastically by a probability function depending on the local electric potential difference. For the computation of the electric potential for all points of the lattice, a two-dimensional discrete Laplace equation is solved by mean of the successive over-relaxation method combined to the Gauss-Seidel method. The box counting method has been used to calculate the fractal dimensions of the simulated patterns with various exponent $\eta$ and breakdown voltage $\phi_b$. As a result of the simulation, it is found that the fractal nature of the surface tracking pattern depends strongly on $\eta$ and $\phi_b$.

The dielectric breakdown voltage (DBV) is a measure of an insulating fluids ability to withstand a high electric field stress without breaking down. Conventionally, the presence of water or particulate matter in a dielectric fluid comprises the liquid's breakdown strength. However, the addition of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in the base oil can increase the dielectric breakdown voltage of the fluid reversely, if the condition of the added particles in the fluid is in balance with that of keeping down the initiation and propagation of electrical streamers. In this study, we developed a mathematical model by a set of coupled, nonlinear equations using the COMSOL multiphysics finite element simulation suite and calculated the dielectrophoretic activity of magnetic nanoparticles suspended in the presence of electric field, which is the behavior responsible for enhancing the dielectric characteristics of transformer oil, in order to examine how the activity differ in a transformer oil-based magnetic fluid.

According to the increasing power demand for the future construction of many underground cables will be required. However, construction of new ducts for power cables will be more difficult. Therefore, research work for realizing the high temperature superconducting(HTS) cable has advanced, where the development of electrical insulating system at cryogenic temperature is one of the major researches. For an electrical insulation design of HTS cable, it is important to understand not only breakdown but also partial discharge and dielectric loss($tan{\delta}$) in liquid nitrogen/paper composite insulation system. In this paper, we investigated breakdown characteristics in liquid nitrogen/paper composite insulation system for the application to HTS cable. And, we studied the breakdown characteristics of the multi-layer and butt gap of the insulation papers in liquid nitrogen. Also, we measured dielectric loss($tan{\delta}$) of the mini-model Cable made of TERLAM IPP.

본 논문에서는 4세대 VNAND 공정으로 만들어진 Peri 소자의 스트레스 영역 별 time-dependent dielectric breakdown(TDDB) 열화 메커니즘을 분석하고, 기존의 수명 예측 모델보다 더 넓은 신뢰성 평가 영역에서 신속성과 정확성을 향상시킬 수 있는 수명 예측 보완 모델을 제시하였다. SiON 절연층 nMOSFET에서 5개의 Vstr 조건에 대해 각 10번의 constant voltage stress(CVS) 측정 후, stress-induced leakage current(SILC) 분석을 통해 저전계 영역에서의 전계 기반 열화 메커니즘과 고전계 영역에서의 전류 기반 열화 메커니즘이 주요함을 확인하였다. 이후 Weibull 분포로부터 time-to-failure(TF)를 추출하여 기존의 E-모델과 1/E-모델의 수명 예측 한계점을 확인하였고, 각 모델의 결합 분리 열화 상수(k)를 추출 및 결합하여 전계 및 전류 기반의 열화 메커니즘을 모두 포함하는 병렬식 상호보완 모델을 제시하였다. 최종적으로 실측한 TDDB 데이터의 수명을 예측할 시, 기존의 E-모델과 1/E-모델에 비해 넓은 전계 영역에서 각 메커니즘을 모두 반영하여 높은 스트레스에서 신속한 신뢰성 평가로 더 정확한 수명을 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

During the past few years, a great deal of attention has been directed to the application of superconductivity to the electrical systems such as superconducting power transmission lines, superconducting magnet energy storage and so on. Yet in order to develop the practical model of these electrical equiqments utilizing suprconductivety and other phenomena at cryogenic temperautre, it is necessary to know the dielectric behaviour of insulating materials at cryogenic temperature in view of reliability, safety and economy of these machines. Investigation of dielectric properties of cryogenic liquids is very important due to the dual role of those as the dielectric and cooling medium. In this study, we investigated results measured over several kinds of dielectric characteristics of liquid nitrogen taking into consideration for application of high Tc superconductor. Dependence of breakdown voltage of gap width, polarity and pressure is reported in this paper and time delay characteristics of breakdown is also the subject of this discussion.

Pure barium titanate was sintered at $1340^{\circ}C$ for 2, 4, 8, 16 hr to control their grain size. The measurements of breakdown strength and partial discharge characteristics were performed under rising AC voltage(60Hz). With increase of sintering time, the average grain size was increased and breakdown strength was slightly decreased. Partial discharge in pores was observed under high voltage, and a model of dielectric break down in barium titanate ceramics is proposed.

This paper presents the analysis of the dielectric characteristics of a hot $SF_6$ gas in a gas circuit breaker. Hot gas flow is analyzed using the FVFLIC method considering the moving boundary, material properties of real $SF_6$ gas, and arc plasma. In the arc model, the re-absorption of the emitted radiation is approximated with the boundary source layer where the re-absorbed radiation energy is input as an energy source term in the energy conservation equation. The breakdown criterion of a hot gas is predicted using the critical electric field as a function of temperature and pressure. To validate the simulation method, breakdown voltage for a 145kV 40kA circuit breaker was measured for various conditions. Consistent results between the simulation and experiment were confirmed.

다마신 구리 배선에서의 동적인 전기장에 따른 절연체 파괴거동을 연구하였다. DC, 단극성, 및 이극성 펄스 조건 중에서 절연체의 수명은 이극성 펄스 조건에서 가장 길었다. DC 및 단극성 펄스 조건에서는 절연체에 가해지는 전기장의 방향이 바뀌지 않지만 이극성 펄스 조건에서는 전기장의 방향이 반복적으로 180도 바뀌기 때문에, 이극성 펄스 조건에서는 절연체의 구리오염이 억제되고, 이로 인해서 절연체 수명이 이극성 펄스 조건에서 가장 긴 것으로 판단된다. 단극성 펄스 조건에서 펄스 주파수가 커질수록 DC 조건보다 절연체의 수명이 증가하였다. 이는 절연체 수명에 구리오염 뿐만 아니라 내재적인 절연파괴현상이 상당한 영향을 미치며, 절연체 분자결합파괴가 일어날 확률은 펄스 폭이 좁아질수록 감소한다고 판단된다.

This paper deals with the edge effect in thin insulating films, focusing on their dependence on film thickness. The finding is that the electric field is lowered at the edge as the film thickness is reduced, which, in turn, is closely related to dielectric breakdown voltage. In order to analyze this phenomenon, a simple capacitor model is introduced with which dependence of dielectric breakdown voltage around the electrode edge on the film thickness is explained. Due to analytical difficulty to get the expression of electrical field strength at the edge, an equivalent circuit approach is used to find the voltage expression first and then the electric field expression using it. The relation gets to an agreement with the experimental findings shown in the paper. This outcome may be extended to solve similar problems in multi-layer insulating films.

Interconnected power system operation has given rise to the problem of increased fault levels and leads to over stressing of all the components. Use have been made of recently developed high Tc superconductor in devising a superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) that promises optimum performance in terms of capital cost, size, auto sensing, operational losses, response time and reliability. Recently, research about the application of the SFCL is actively progressing in Korea. To be applied for SFCL practically, the electrical insulation design of SFCL must be developed. Therefore, this paper presents the result of an investigation of the dielectric characteristics of turn-to-turn insulation for SFCL in liquid nitrogen. The dielectric characteristics of turn-to-turn insulation models of SFCL were investigated. We obtained following results. The breakdown voltages increased as the spacer thickness and length increased. And the breakdown voltages of turn-to-turn model without spacer were higher than the breakdown voltages of turn-to-turn model with spacer under impulse as well as AC voltages. The information gathered in this test series should be helpful in the design of liquid nitrogen filled SFCL.
