In this paper, the diagnosis method for AC traction motor is to reduce their maintenance loads. We tried to apply this method to maintenance of traction motor in railway vehicle. Sample coils for stator of traction motor were tested by accelerative thermal degradation which composed of heat, vibration, moisture, and overvoltage applying. Reliability and expected life were evaluated on the insulation system for 200 class traction motor.

Power capacitors are highly reliable equipment due to their completely enclosed configuration. Aging diagnosis system using partial discharge(PD) and acoustic emission(AE) is being highlighted as a research area for degradation of power capacitors. Their dielectric strength can be however reduced due to some stresses such as over-voltage or thermal degradation of the insulation material during their long period of operation. In this paper, it has been developed to express the AE of the EVENT(average amplitude) and HIT(pulse count) according to the source location. And real time measurement of PD signals for aging diagnosis of power capacitors.

Polymer insulators are used widely in variable fields for high voltage insulation and separating people from high voltage charging parts for safety and also supporting overhead power line in electric railway. But it may be broken down by tracking path resulting from continuous surface discharge. This paper has investigated synthetically both the characteristics of electrical aging using precision CT(current transformer) and the thermal aging using thermography method. Electrical aging was analyzed for time-frequency region and thermal aging was illustrated by image processing method. This synthetic method may be an appropriate one to evaluate the surface degradation of polymer insulator.

In this study, we describe the change of electrical properties of XLPE with electrical-tree degradation. XLPE insulation was used as specimen which was cut off from 22.9kV XLPE insulated cable and made in a type of block. The applying voltages are 8kV, 10kV, 12kV and frequency is 60Hz Ogra needles having tip radius of 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ were inserted in blocks. PD quantity and $tan{\delta}$ and DC current were measured from inception of tree to breakdown and their characteristics were analyzed.

When the high voltage is applied on insulation materials that have voids and impurities inner one, then probability of electrical tree inception is increased at defects. Electrical tree gives a profit to degradation analysis, because it is possible to observe by eyes and provides electrical degradation step. And electrical tree is divided to three types in usual - tree type, bush type and chestnut type tree. But these three types are divided not by method of quantitative analysis but visual and experiential analysis. In this paper, three types of electrical tree were calculated by quantitative analysis using fractal mathematics and classified to fractal dimensions (FD). FD of tree types are 1.1$\sim$1.4, bush types are 1.4$\sim$1.6 and chestnut type trees have above 1.6 FD.

In this paper, the relation between the increment of metallic content such as copper(Cu) and iron(Fe) according to degradation of pole-transformer oil and change of electrical characteristics according to increment of metallic content was studied. As the result, electrical characteristics was decrease according to increment of metallic content, especially copper content, and the trend of T.C.G(Total Carbonic Gas) agreed with the trend of copper content.

This paper presents the preliminary results on the application of optical fiber sensor(OFS) for the diagnosis of degradation in the transformer oil. An OFS system using a Mach-Zehnder interferometry technique was built to detect attenuation of acoustic signal produced by discharging. With increasing the number of discharging in the insulation oil, the attenuation of acoustic signal became greater. A strong correlation between electrical and acoustic signal intensities from discharge generated in the transformer oil was confirmed by the results reported here.

The effect of accelerated aging test on ethylene-propylene-diene monomer(EPDM) rubber used for outdoor insulation was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), scanning electron microscope(SEM), FFT spectrum alalysis, and electrical pulse counts using PC by oscilloscope(300 MHz). In electrical alalysis, FFT spectrum analysis indicated arcing caused a significant increase in the third harmonic content of the leakage current of polluted insulator. Also, pulse counts increased as aging time. The surface oxygen and aluminum content were found to increase and that of carbon and nitrogen were found to decrease with time. The detailed XPS analysis indicated that the concentration of carbon in C-C decreased and concentration of highly oxidized carbons increased with time, which was due to the oxidation of EPDM rubber polymer SEM analysis indicated that crack and erosion of EPDM rubber occurred with time.

The partial discharge testing is widely used in insulation property measurement because it gives low stress to high voltage equipment which is undertaken tests. Therefore it is very useful method compare to previous destructive methods and effective diagnosis method in power transformer that requires live-line diagnosis. But partial discharges have very complex characteristics of discharge pattern so it is required continuous research to development of precise analysis method. In recent, the study of partial discharge is carrying out discover of initial defect of power equipment through condition diagnosis and system development of degradation diagnosis using HFPD(High Frequency Partial Discharge) detection. In this study, simulated transformer is manufactured and HFPD occurred from transformer is measured with broad band antenna in real time, the degradation grade of transformer is analyzed through produced patterns in simulated transformer according to applied voltages.

The partial discharge testing is widely used in insulation property measurement because it gives low stress to high voltage equipment which is undertaken tests. Therefore it is very useful method compare to previous destructive methods and effective diagnosis method in power transformer that requires on-line & on-site diagnosis. But partial discharges have very complex characteristics of discharge pattern so it is required continuous research to development of precise analysis method. In recent, the study of partial discharge is carrying out discover of initial defect of power equipment through condition diagnosis and system development of degradation diagnosis using HFPD(High Frequency Partial Discharge) detection. In this study, simulated transformer is manufactured and PD/HFPD occurred from transformer is measured with broad band antenna in real time, the degradation grade of transformer is analyzed through produced patterns in simulated transformer according to applied voltages.
