The demand of Gas Insulated Transformer(GIT) using $SF_6$ gas as insulating and cooling medium is being increased dramatically in the underground substation of urban area because it has the advantages of non-flammable and non-explosive, etc. This paper describes the structural features and advantages of the gas insulated transformer compare to an oil immersed transformer, and presents a brief overview of the consideration and technology which apply to $SF_6$ gas insulated transformer.

Occurring forest fire or burning bushes beneath overhead transmission lines have caused system disturbances in many countries. In this study, various tests in the simulated condition of power lines were conducted so as to investigate the reduction in insulation strength caused by combustion flame. The results of an experimental investigation into the flashover characteristics of air dielectric strength in the presence of oil flame are reported. It is demonstrated that flame can reduce by more than half, 80% in maximum, the breakdown voltage of a model line.

In order to investigate the interfacial effects on the aging of power cables, we analyzed recently failed cables using characterization techniques. In this study, some cables showed a convolution which can cause the concentration of electric field and carbonized impurities at the surface of insulation. Also there is a relation between the degree of cross- linking and volume resistivity. From the hot oil test, the sites of water tree and void coincided with each other.

This study is on safety improvement measures through analysis of accident cases during plant storage tank construction. Storage tank is a general term for artificial ground facility constructed to store oil, water, gas, and other chemicals. Some companies have clustered storage tanks (tank farm). The construction methods vary according to the component and types of fluids. Because most of the construction procedures include lifting heavy weight materials using heavy construction equipment and are carried out at high places, storage tank construction contains more risk factors than normal aerial construction. Recently, major accidents such as storage tank collapse have occurred often, and cost many lives due to the characteristics of the structure. In this study we would like to analyze the cause of these accidents and propose measures to improve safety.

Power transformers have a tendency of ultra-high voltage and huge capacity as power demand increases day after day. Therefore, the fault by insulation destruction gives rise to large area of power failure in huge capacity transformers. On-line predictive diagnostics is very important In power transformers because of economic loss and its spreading effect. Hence, this study presents experiments of partial discharge method using ultrasonic sensor in order to confirm the possibility of ultrasonic sensor in power transformers. It carries out the experiments of measuring delay time between ultrasonic sensor and transducer, sensitiities by temperature change of oil and by barriers inside transformers. It is also Included wave analysis by ultrasonic sensor for needle-plate electrode powered on through high-voltage equipments.

In general, for the condition monitoring of a power transformer using the UHF PD measuring technique, detection of any partial discharge, identifying the defect in the transformer and locating the insulation defect are necessary. In this paper one of the most frequent detects which can result in turn to turn fault in power transformer was examined for identifying the defect. In order to model the defect, as a discharge source, a partial discharge cell was used for experimental activity. Magnitude of electromagnetic wave signals and corresponding amount of apparent discharge were measured simultaneously against phase of applied voltage to the discharge cell. Frequency range and phase resolved partial discharge signals were measured and analyzed. The results will be contributed to build the defect database of power transformer and to decrease the occurrence of transformer faults.

The insulation materials of cables used for underground power transmission requires a higher insulating capability, and the most popular method to examine the cable is partial discharge test due to applying variation voltage. In the thesis, air void, silicone oil, of which may possibly exist real cables, are simulated by Electro 2D program. Also the relations between calculated field strength and the void defect type in the cable joint materials. In the modeling, eclectic field inner to the cable joint material composed by XLPE and EPDM is modeling simulated. We obtained the electric field distribution in void due to two conditions.

The characteristics on the interface between Epoxy and EPDM which are materials of the underground insulation systems of power delivery have studied. The breakdown strength of specimens are observed by applying high AC voltage at the room temperature. The breakdown times under the constant voltage below the breakdown voltage were gained. As constant voltage is applied the breakdown time is proportion to the breakdown strength. The life exponent n is gained by inverse power law and the long breakdown life time can be evaluated. AC breakdown strength and life time is improved by oiling to the interface. When the low viscosity oil is spread interface has the highest life time.

This paper studied development of the program for estimation the life time of insullating materials and the longtime breakdown voltage. First, short-time breakdown voltage of Epoxy and insulating oil was measured. Life exponent was gained from measurement of insulating breakdown time of the specimens. Life time is presumed from program. The estimation program is based on the "Inverse Power Law", defined $V^nt$ is constant. After gaining the life exponent n, it is mapping the longtime breakdown voltages. On the base of life exponent, the estimation the lifetime and usefulness of the insulation systems are possible, furthermore easy calculation is possible.
