In this study, the characteristics of partial discharge was measured for the four core silicone cable (0.6/1.0 kV, $1.0SQ{\times}4C$) with insulated part of 15 cm and conductor of 1cm. The following results have been confirmed as a result of this study. When the first line of cable is connected to the positive electrode and the second, third line of cable is connected to the negative electrode, it found that the inception voltage and extinction voltage decreased with increasing the line of negative electrode, and the partial discharge charge quantity(Q) increases, while the number of discharge occurrence has decreased. The inception voltage and extinction voltage of partial discharge has decreased with increasing the degradation rate in the 33%, 67%, 100%. Also, it confirmed that the partial discharge charge quantity(Q) and the number of discharge occurrence has decreased.

A new dielectric test on main relays of electric traction vehicles, the partial discharge(PD) test, is proposed. The PD test will not affect the insulation performance of specimen during the test and provide much more detailed information on insulation, the types of defects, and so on. Insulation performance of relays is estimated by discharge inception voltage(DIV), discharge extinction voltage (DEV), and apparent charge as a function of test voltage and time. Three main relays of different manufacturing date were estimated by applying AC voltage with three patterns in ranges of $0{\sim}1,200[V]$. From the results, we could estimate insulation state and which types of defects exist in them.

The problem of the partial discharge (PD) extinction is investigated. The transient process takes place in a small spherical inclusion which is located in the dielectric. Both the losses caused by polarization and ohmic losses as the dielectric parameters are taken into account. From the inclusion standpoint the dielectric is considered as an active two-pole element (equivalent generator) and inclusion represents by own current-voltage curve. PD extinction voltage was shown to depend on the polarization loss tangent.

In this thesis, the silicone filler with a sample size of 0~75 phr and void size of 2~4.5 mm is prepared in order to diagnose the defect of void which exists in widely used insulation material, silicone rubber. In this silicone rubber sample, electrodes are connected and whilst the voltage changes, applied voltage 7 kV~9 kV is increased constantly over time and discharge quantity, discharge frequency and applied voltage (T-QNV) were measured. The discharge quantity of the applied voltage (VQ) is measured to estimate inception voltage and extinction voltage. In addition, under the condition of maintaining constant applied voltage, discharge quantity and discharge frequency (QN) are measured, and its characteristics are analyzed.

In this study, the partial discharge degradation properties for 2-core PVC cable($2cores{\times}1.5mm^2$ cross section, length of 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm) following immersion with the salt water that the 2%, 4%, 8% of NaCl is dissolved in 100 g of distilled water for 48 and 96 hours has been measured. The results of this study are as follows. When the degradation time in salt water of 2% NaCl is 48 hours, it found that the number of partial discharge increased as about 40 pps, 50 pps, 90 pps with increasing the length of cable to 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm. In case the concentration and degradation time is same, the inception and extinction voltage decreased with increasing the length of cable. When the degradation time in salt water is 96 hours and the length of cable is 20 cm, it found that the number of partial discharge decreased as 3,000 pps, 500 pps, 100 pps with increasing the concentration of NaCl to 2%, 4%, 8%.

Sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆) is mostly used as a current-insulating medium in gas-insulated switchgears (GIS), owing to its excellent dielectric strength and arc-extinguishing performance. The global warming potential (GWP) of SF₆, however, is 23,900 times that of CO₂, and its life time in the atmosphere is 3,200 years. For these reasons, new eco-friendly gases to replace SF₆ are required. In this study, the partial discharge (PD) characteristics of green gas for grid (g³) and dry air (N₂/O₂) were analyzed to compare with those of SF₆. A PD electrode system was designed to simulate the protrusion defect in GISs and fabricated for experimentation. To compare the PD characteristics of each gas, the discharge inception voltage (DIV), discharge extinction voltage (DEV), discharge magnitude, discharge pulse number, and phase pattern were analyzed. Results from this study are expected to provide fundamental materials for the design of eco-friendly GISs.

In this thesis, the partial discharge according to applied voltage and variations of cross-sectional area and length of the conductor related to general condition for using cable was measured in order to study degradation diagnosis for 2-Core cable of the PVC insulator used in industrial fields for other safety installations. Also the thermal degradation conditions under various installation circumstances of cables were studied by assuming degradation conditions with each different degradation rate (50%, 67%, 100%) such as variation in degradated temperature, thermal exposure time, normal state, partially degradated state and overall degradated state for thermal degradation diagnosis. The quantity of electric discharge (V-Q) according to applied voltage was measured for measurement of inception voltage and extinction voltage. The quantity of electric discharge and the number of electric discharge (Q-N) were measured with applied voltage kept constantly. In addition, pictures were taken using SEM (scanning electron microscope) to compare the surface of external insulator to degradated state of internal insulator according to thermal degradation temperature and also compare the surface of external insulator to degradated surface state of internal insulator according exposure time of cables to thermal stress.

This paper compare the Townsend theory with the Molten metal bridge theory of Holm for the arc discharge at opening contacts. And we measured the arc voltage at opening contacts of the 3 types arc extinction unit used in DC magnetic contactor. So, we sure that the molten metal bridge contributes to form the arc. By the experiment of the 3 types arc extinction unit, we know that the magnetic force acting on the arc doesn't effect forming arc but contribut the arc extinction.

Transient voltage distribution tests are carried out to evaluate effects of a high frequency oscillating voltage generated in a superconducting magnet as a result of the arc discharge extinction. Especially, the effects of temperature and conduction state of the magnet conductor on surge behavior are carefully investigated. Based on the results of simulation tests, it is shown that internal voltage waveforms are influenced by its transmission along the superconducting wire and reflection at the terminal and that attenuation process of the waveforms depends considerably on the conductor resistance which decreases with lowering the temperature.

In this paper, parameters related with partial discharge (PD) were analyzed in SF₆ gas under AC and DC voltages. Three electrode systems (protrusion on conductor, protrusion on enclosure, and free particle) were fabricated to simulate PD defects in a gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). All electrode systems were filled with SF₆ gas at 0.5 MPa. PD pulses were detected using an oscilloscope and a data acquisition (DAQ) based on IEC 60270. To analyze the PD characteristics under AC and DC voltages, parameters such as discharge inception voltage (DIV), discharge extinction voltage (DEV), pulse magnitude, repetition rate, and T-F map were compared. From the experimental results, PD was revealed to have different characteristics under AC and DC, and these results may be useful for diagnosis of power facilities operated under HVDC.
