The cable degradation process is largely divided into three steps; Step 1 : Thermal degradation, Step 2 : Weibull degradation, Step 3 : Partial discharge. it is progress in step order. This article aims to explain the process of cable degradation using the method of insulation resistance and accordingly to compose and manufacture a system of measuring the life of electrical cable. Before measuring the insulation resistance, a system of measuring the temperature and current of cables was made, and the established system was installed for test on the site of a power plant to collect the measured data. The current sensor was used TFC30P80A-CL420, and temperature sensor was used the DK-1270 PT100 sensor as RTD sensor. When measured the temperature and the load current at the same position, was confirmed that in case of the load current value was high, also temperature value high. Therefore, the correlation between load currents and temperature was verified, and the analysis of diagnostic data was evaluated, which could be utilized in identifying the fault condition of cable systems.

In this paper, oil-paper samples composed of transformer windings were used to investigate the insulation degradation process subjected to partial discharge (PD), with artificial defects inside to simulate the PD induced insulation degradation. To determine appropriate test voltages, the breakdown time obtained through a group of accelerated electrical degradation tests under high voltages was firstly fitted by two-parameter Weibull model to acquire the average breakdown time, which was then applied to establish the inverse power law life model to choose advisable test voltages. During the electrical degradation process, PD signals were synchronously detected by an ultra-high frequency (UHF) sensor from inception to breakdown. For PD analysis, the whole degradation process was divided into ten stages, and chaos theory was introduced to analyze the variation of three chaotic parameters with the development of electrical degradation, namely the largest Lyapunov exponent, correlation dimension and Komogorov entropy of PD amplitude time series. It is shown that deterministic chaos of PD is confirmed during the oil-paper degradation process, and the obtained results provide a new effective tool for the diagnosis of degradation of oil-paper insulation subjected to PD.

South Korea's OF cable is reaching its expected design life of 30 years, and as a result, the risk of failure is increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the long-term operating OF cables through accurate diagnosis at the right time to prevent the failure. Currently, the KEPCO periodically conducts DGA. However, the gas found in DGA is caused by oil deterioration as well as insulation paper. Therefore, the analysis of the degree of polymerization and furan compounds which is an evaluation of insulation paper considered to be the life of OF cables is required. In addition, the results of the evaluation of deterioration of insulation paper need to be checked for correlation with the results of DGA. In this study, DGA carried out through GC, the degree of polymerization was analyzed using an automatic viscometer, and HPLC was used to detect the furan compounds. In addition, the obtained results were applied to the SVM technique, which was recently introduced to determine abnormalities in OF cable. And the results which were accurate and reliable were obtained.

In this paper, we studied on life-decision of underground cable of live-line state. Data of CV 6.6kV and 22kV cable's life is got data measured insulation resistance by D.C. overlapped current. We confirmed that D.C resistance reduced by time. Aging of cable could be occurred by electrical, thermal, mechanical stress and complex aging confirmed that proceeded by Weibull plot. In the result, life of 6.6kV cable remained 21 years till light caution and 35 years till heavy caution, so aging of 6.6kV XLPE cable was not occurred. Life of 22kV cable remained 10 years till light caution and 22 years till heavy caution. We confirmed that the designed life of 22kV cable is similar to the measured life.

To enhance the reliability of distribution transformers in service and to reduce the cost of maintaining and replaceing these, the condition and life of those insulating system should be evaluated accurately and the time to replace should be determined economically. Since the transformer failures related to insulation failure indicates that the primary cause is normally mechanical failure of integrity due to loss of mechanical strength as a result of degradation, the tensile strength characteristics of paper during ageing under accelerated conditions in insulating oil and research trends for assessing the life of insulating paper were investigated.

36,000lbs porcelain insulators (D-1995, D-1997, D-2002) investigated mechanical and electrical qualities, which were installed in the Korea 154kV transmission lines. This paper assessed Weibull distribution function, quality index, and uniformity index to forecast the remaining life expectancies of insulators. Applying Weibull distribution function on year lapse change test, electro-mechanical failing load test, and HRB values confirmed a significant degree of correlation. Statistically calculating the life expectancy through quality indices for aging and new products and uniformity indices that are associated with uniformity of insulation materials revealed.

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.

User's demand, as a maintenance for durability of construction and a comfortable life, and an incentive systems for new waterproofing system incite waterproofing company to evolve new waterproofing system that is upgraded waterproofing quality by getting advantages for the existing waterproofing systems. There are seven new waterproofing systems for building roof to be authorized from Ministry of construction & transportation. Those are multi-layers waterproofing system, and five of those are the insulation type. A trend of new waterproofing systems for building roof is multi-layers waterproofing system insulated.
