Non-ceramic composite insulator has been interested in the power industry because of its good characteristics in mechanical properties, mass product and design availability. Also it is lighter, and less unexplosive, compared to a ceramic insulator. Especially EPDM rubber composite insulator can be used for long-term in contaminated environments because of its hydrophobicity. This paper showed the rheological properties, the electrical properties, and contact angles to check the hydrophobicity and the recoverability of the EPDM compounds. Also, we investigated surface morphology of the compound by SEM.

We studied a pollution mechanism for simulation of contamination environment in industrial concentrated area of around a metropolitan that made to circulated flow in the chamber. In case of the virgin both side of EPDM or Silicon insulator, we confirmed that the pollution to much more than service insulator in the field. Also contamination of initial state of the virgin didn't falling in spite of physical outside factor easily. This study confirmed to that the silicon was too much accumulated pollution contrast to EPDM insulator from scatter(spray) point to regular interval position use the Kaolin contaminant in the chamber. There are effected to the hydrophobicity of polymer insulator due to the pollution. In ceramic insulator, we get to know that pollution is much more at the Post insulator with vertical than with horizontal setup insulator.

In this study, we focused on development of the adhesive insulator using the case for solid rocket motors. Material of insulator used unvulcanized rubber based on EPDM/kevlar. In case of front insulator, preforms was made by using hot press molding, and then modified nylon film was inserted between two preforms for boots manufacturing. Rear insulator included cylinder part was embodied by only one mold with special designed and manufactured shape in the process. Boots part of rear insulator was obtained by cutting machine with hard-metal cemented carbide.

Many researcher make efforts to develop an effective tracking method of accellatinn combined with the field simulation in actual system. Specially, the procelain type insulator is required exchanging to EPDM/SIR polymer insulator according to the recently environmental consideration. In this paper, we have developed the estimation system using the SD testing and the fractal mathematics. Those approach has been very successful to relative applied to the various parctical problem

Characteristic of thermal reaction of Kevlar/EPDM internal insulator used in a solid rocket motor chamber was investigated at 1,030 psi, 35.86 s and 1,406 psi, 36.63 s. Surface status after test was similar each other and thermal destruction depth was 4.10 mm and 4.18 mm, respectively. Kinetic constant ${\xi}$, ${\zeta}$ and thermal destruction velocity $V_{TD}$ were also similar. It was concluded that characteristics of thermal reaction of Kevlar/EPDM internal insulator were not affected by change of chamber pressure.

In the paper, we evaluated insulation evaluation of EPDM insulator used often in power distribution lines in Korea. The selected samples for our experiment were three EPDM insulators for 22.9[kV] operated for 10 years or less. Using these samples, we observed the discharge pattern through accelerating experimental and analyzed discharge quantity using fractal theory. The validity of our fractal method were discussed and life time. reliability and quantitative analysis of the insulator was conducted through the method.

The effects of accelerated UV radiation on EPDM used for a polymeric insulator were investigated by contact angle, surface voltage decay after corona charging, SEM-EDX, ATR-FTIR and XPS. EPDM occurs as loss of hydrophobicity by UV treatment, which followed by surface cracking and chalking. The surface voltage decay on UV-treated EPDM show that the shorter decay time corresponded to the treated samples with a longer UV exposure time. The surface oxygen and aluminum content were found to increase and carbon decrease, as is observed in EDX analysis. The ATR-FTIR and XPS indicated that C-C and C-H groups decreased and the highly oxidized carbon bonds such as C-O, C=O and O-C=O increase with time. Also, the effects of surface charges on hydrophobicity based on our results is discussed.
