In order to determine what influences the interfacial charge in EPDM/XLPE laminates, We used PEA (pulsed electroacoustic) method. Interfacial properties such as space charge accumulation and breakdown strength in crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE)/ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) laminates were investigated. Interfacial charge develops when the EPDM is laminated with XLPE. It showed the positive polarity same as the simulation in case on intercase of EPDM/XLPE. In case of coupling agent added silicone oil, as increasing the content of coupling agent, the interfacial charge decreased. Details of the results are given and their origins discussed.

The effect of the mixing ratio of spherical silica on the electrical insulation breakdown strength in an epoxy/silica composite was studied. Spherical silicas with two average particle sizes of $5{\mu}m$ and $20{\mu}m$ were mixed in different mixing ratios, and their total filling content was fixed at 60 wt%. In order to observe the dispersion of the silicas and the interfacial morphology between silica and epoxy matrix, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used. The electrical insulation breakdown strength was estimated in sphere-sphere electrodes with different insulation thicknesses of 1, 2, and 3 mm. Electrical insulation breakdown strength decreased with increasing mixing ratio of $5/20{\mu}m$ and the thickness dependence of the breakdown strength was also observed.

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.

In this study, the dieiectric breakdown of epoxy composites used for transformers was experimented and then its data were simulated by Weibull distribution probability . As a result. first of all, speaking of dielectric breakdown properties, the more hardener increased the stronger breakdown strength at low temperature, and the breakdown strength of specimens because it is believed that the adding filler farms interface and charge is accumulated in it, therefore the molecular motility is raised, the electric field is concentrated, and the acceleration of electron and the growth of electron avalanche are early accomplished. In the case of filled specimens with treating silane, the breakdown strength become much higher since the suggests that silane coupling agent improves interfacial combination and relays electric field concentration. Finally, from the analysis 7f weibull distribution. it was confirmed that as the allowed breakdown probability was given by 0.11[%].

In this paper, the electrical conduction, breakdown strength and dielectric properties were investigated in the interfaces of PET films. The volume resistivity and breakdown strength were decreased; especially the specimens with semiconductive layer showed the lowest breakdown strength. This decrease of electrical properties was appeared by increasing charge density in inhomogeneous layer of PET. The dielectric properties of PET did not show significant difference with PET/PET but the films with semiconductive interface layer showed the increase in capacitance and $tan\delta$ was affected by the PET rather than semiconductive layer. It is assumed that the variation of $tan\delta$ was affected by the dielectric polarization and the leakage current(charge).

In this study, the interfacial dielectric breakdown phenomenon of interface between Epoxy and Rubber was discussed, which affects the stability of insulation system of power delivery devices. 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 time breakdown life time can be evaluated.

In order to develop a high voltage insulation material, spherical silicas with two average particle sizes of 5 ${\mu}m$ and 20 ${\mu}m$ were mixed in different mixing ratios (1:0, 0.7:0.3, 0.5:0.5, 0.3:0.7, 0:1) and their total filling content was fixed at 65 wt%. In order to observe the dispersion of the spherical silicas and the interfacial morphology between silica and epoxy matrix, field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) was used. The electrical insulation breakdown strength was estimated in sphere-plate electrodes with different insulation thicknesses of 1, 2, and 3 mm. Electrical insulation breakdown strength decreased with increasing mixing ratio of 5/20 ${\mu}m$ and the thickness dependence of the breakdown strength was also observed. The tensile strength of the neat epoxy was 82.8 MPa as average value and its increased with decreasing particles size and that of epoxy/silica (2 ${\mu}m$) was 107 MPa, which was 130.8% higher value.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the breakdown properties in joint interface of power cables with heat treatment. The specimens have the structure of XLPE/EPDM interface like the joint of distribution power cable. The breakdown characteristics of the SLPE/EPDM joint were studied with crosslinking by=products. AC breakdown voltages were measured with heat treatment time and interfacial materials and crosslinking by-products as testing factors. This study has shown that crosslinking by-product gases play an important role at the insulation properties of cable joints by heating. The dielectric strength shows the lowest values at 4 hours heat treatment. The AC breakdown strength in the untreated sample was increased with heat treatment time.

The effects of particle size on the mechanical and electrical properties of epoxy/spherical silica composites were studied. The silica particle sizes were varied from 5 to 30 ${\mu}m$ and the filler content was fixed to 60 wt%. Tensile and flexural tests were carried out and the interfacial morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrical insulation breakdown strength was estimated using sphere-sphere electrodes with different insulation thicknesses of 1, 2 and 3 mm. The tensile strength and flexural strength increased with decreasing particle size, while electrical insulation breakdown strength increased with increasing particle size.
