HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) cable termination current lead has been designed based on simplified boundary conditions such as fixed temperature at both end and sdiabatic/convection in the side wall. However, in the real situation the current lead is enclosed with insulators and exposed to insulation oil and L$N_2$. Therefore it is necessary to consider them for the proper current lead design. In this paper, several important design parameters were chosen and their effect on the temperature distribution and heat loads on the current lead has been investigated. It was found that current lead has to be 2 stage to reach the minimum temperature requirement of insulation oil and insulator is required to reduce the cooling capacity of cryogenic system.

Some polymer materials including epoxy resin are being instead of porcelain for outdoor insulating materials such as insulators bushings cable terminators and surge arrester housing. And the largest problem to be overcomed is the tracking and erosion of the outdoor polymer material brought about by dry band arcing during prolonged exposure to contaminations. In this paper the effect of surface tension wettability flow rate of contaminants with varying surfactant content and frequency of applied voltage on the tracking breakdown of epoxy insulating materials were investigated. As the flow rate of contaminant is increased the surface resistivity is decreased and the leakage current is increased the time to tracking breakdown is decreased. It is found that time to tracking breakdown depends on the surface tension of contaminant that is difference of wettability. And as the frequency of applied voltage is increased time to tracking breakdown decreased.

Tracking is one of the biggist problems to be overcome in polymeric materials for outdoor insulators. But It can be decreased with the addition of filler such as alumina trihydrate (ATH). In this paper, the tracking of surface and evaluation of insulating ability at silicone rubber is investigated, using the salt fog test. At initial state, the peak leakage current and numbers by dry band arcing is increasing with increasing the filler level, but at aged state decreasing at high concentration filler samples. This is because the roughness of the surface may contribute to the increase in peak leakage cur-rent and numbers. As increasing the filler level, the insulating ability of materials is higher and weight loss is decreased. The mechanism of insulating failure is occurred by the erosion than the tracking and the erosion caused weight loss of 2 g.

765kv Transmission lines of the contaminated areas need many insulators due to the contamination. So the length of the arcing hem is very long. Because it is very difficult to install the arcing hem on insulator string sets due to its length, we must install the arcing horn on the jumping devices, and studied about the jumper horn. This paper described the investigation and analysis of the installation status of the arcing horn, and the design of the jumper horn for 765 kV transmission lines.

This paper presents some of the results of current research on 300 kN Suspension Insulator Design. In this paper, authors first used 2-dimensional field calculation to solve the electric field distribution of an insulator unit and insulator strings, and then 3-dimensional field calculation in order to overcome the shortcomings of 2-dimensional field calculation in which an axis-symmetrical coordinate has been used. And, it was found that the environmental configuration of 300 kN Suspension Insulator String gives great roles to the field distribution of the insulators.

In this paper the patterns of partial discharges(PD) occurred from some defects at the interface of cable joints as the function of the phase of the applied voltage were investigated in order to discern the kind of a defect. The results obtained in this study show that it is possible to distinguish the PD patterns between the void discharges and the treeing or tracking discharges which were occured at the cable joint interface. While the state of defect transfers from a void discharge into a tree or tracking discharge with a aging time, the skewness for both half of the applied voltage cycle is observed to go to the negative value.

FRP has been used very much as high strength core materials for insulators because of its high strength and good insulation properties. In this study cantilever, tension and torsion stress were simulation along to the unidirection glass fiber. In addition, FRP was made by pultrusion method. This paper proposed the procedure of the finite element model updating and pretest using the commerical finite element code MSC.Nastran. To ehance the efficiency of experimental modal analysis. we proposed the process which is the selection of the locations and the number of measurement points for pre-test.

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.
