Recently, the necessity of establishing the way to diagnose the aging of insulation materials and to predict of insulation breakdown become important. The purpose of our work are to investigate the treeing phenomena with a artificial needle shape void by the charge of partial discharge and acoustic emission pulse in each phase angle area at the same time. We have analyzed the ${\Phi}-Q-n$ pattern and the insulation diagnosis of the samples using statistic operators such as charge magnitude and A.E pulse factor, skweness, kurtosis, G,C. Therefore, the relation between the charge of partial discharge and A.E pulse will be helpful and efficient to predict the breakdown just before the breakdown occure.

In order to characterize insulation properties of epoxy/micro-silica/nano-silicate composite (EMNC), long-term and short-term AC treeing tests were carried out undr non-uniform electric field generated between needle-plate electrodes. In a long-term test, a 10 kV (60 Hz) electrical field was applied to the specimen positioned between the electrodes with a distance of 2.7 mm in an insulating oil bath at $30^{\circ}C$, and a typical branch type electrical tree was observed in the neat epoxy resin and breakdown took place at 1,042 min after applying the 10 kVelectrical field. Meanwhile, the spherical tree with the tree length of $237{\mu}m$ was seen in EMNC-65-0.3 at 52,380 min (36.4 day) and then the test was stopped because the tree propagation rate was too low. In the short-term test, an electrial field was applied to a 3.5 mm-thick specimen at an increasing voltage rate of 0.5 kV/s until breakdown in insulating oil bath at $30^{\circ}C$ and $130^{\circ}C$, and the data was estimated by Weibull statistical analysis. The electrical insulation breakdown strength for neat epoxy resin was 1,763 kV/mm at $30^{\circ}C$, while that for EMNC-65-0.3 was 2,604 kV/mm, which was a modified value of 47%. As was expected, the breakdown strength decreased at higher test temperatures.

The electrical properties such as space charge accumulation, dielectric breakdown and water treeing of acrylic acid-grafted polyethylene (PE-g-AA) and n-butyl acrylate-grafted polyethylene (PE-g-nBA) were investigated. In PE-g-AA, heterocharge founded in LDPE decreased with the increase of AA graft ratio and changed to the homocharge formation above 0.lwt% due to the introduction of carbonyls. Conduction currents decreased with the increase of AA graft ratio. AC breakdown strength increased and water treeing length decreased with the increase of graft ratio in PE-g-AA and PE-g-nBA.

본 논문은 새롭게 초음파 분산기법을 이용하여 제조된 나노콤포지트 와 원형에폭시 수지에 대한 전기적 특성인 트리현상의 여러특성을 연구하였다. 나노필러인 Layered Silicate Particles가 에폭시수지 중에 Power Ultrasonic으로 분산된 나노콤포지트를 제조하였다. 충진된 혼합물에서 나노입자의 영향을 조사하기위해 열적, 구조적 특성을 연구하였고, 장시간 절연파괴 특성을 조사하기위해 침대평판 전극으로 원형에폭시수지와 나노콤포지트와 비교 측정하였다. 연구는 에폭시원형수지에 대한 인가전압레벌(교류 10, 15, 20kV)의 변화와 온도변화에 대한 (30,90,$130^{\circ}C$)의 트리특성을 연구하였다. 모든 전압레벨에서는 일정전압까지 1kV/s 로 승압 후 일정하게 인가되었고, 파괴에 이를 때까지 측정한 결과 10kV, 15Kv, 20KV의 경우 1042,75,488분후에 파괴에 이르렀다. 그러나 트리진행속도는 인가전압이 높을수록 빠르게 진행하였다. 온도 변화에 대한 트리특성으로서 15kV인가 후 파괴에 이르는 시간은 30,90,$130^{\circ}C$의 경우 75.3, 970, 226분으로 $90^{\circ}C$의 경우 절연성능이 가장 우수하였고, 트리진전속도는 $30^{\circ}C,130^{\circ}C,90^{\circ}C$ 순으로 나타났다. 이는 트리진전으로 파괴에 이르는 시간과 속도는 트리형태에 지배적으로 영향을 맡고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 나노콤포지트 트리의 경우 15kV인가시 10902에 파괴에 이르렀고, 트리진전속도는 0.000729mm/min으로 원형에 비하여 53.36배의 트리진전시간이 느리고, 파괴시간은 145배 오래 견디는 절연내력을 측정할 수 있었다.

It is well known that water treeing is one of the main cause of breakdown in underground power cables, but water tree is not easy to observe. This aging phenomenon was resulted in effect of water and electric field and so on. In this paper, Distilled water was used as water electrode to observe the water treeing in XLPE(cross-linked polyethylene). To observe easily, sample was made of pallet types so water tree was able to show by microscope. As a result, electrical tree appears at niddle electrode tip which was concentrated electric field, but water tree was shown up different types that were appealed in total area of water electrode as well as water electrode tip.

Internal voids in insulators give rise to partial discharge, which causes a local breakdown and even entire insulation breakdown. Recently, the necessity of establishing the way to diagnose the aging of insulation materials and to predict of insulation breakdown become important. The purpose of our work are to investigate the treeing phenomena with an artificial needle shaped void by the charge of discharge and acoustic emission pulse in each phase angle area at the same time. We analyzed the .PHI.-QA-t pattern and .PHI.-AEA-t pattern using statistic operators such as pulse magnitude, pulse number, skewness, kurtosis. Therefore, the relation between the charge of discharge and acoustic emission pulse will be helpful to predict the breakdown just before the breakdown occur.

Insulation layers in XLPE power cables may have some patterns generated in the manufacturing process. They are called 'flow patterns' and show flow history of molten polyethylene between inner and outer semiconducting layers. Flow patterns are even seen with naked human eyes and suspected to be inhomogeniety of insulation, weakening insulation performance. Investigated in this paper is electrical treeing resistance and ac breakdown strength according to flow patterns. Experiments of electrical treeing and ac breakdown strength by means of ramp tests were conducted using newly developed electrode system with point-to-plane structure and sphere-to-sphere structure, respectively. All results were analyzed with the application of statistics, showing little differences.
