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 paper, the life-time of macro interface between Epoxy/EPDM which consists in underground power cable joints is predicted. The electrode system of specimen is designed by FEM(finite elements method). 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.

Many successful developments and microscopic studies have been made on the high quality insulating materials. However, a little attention have given to the macroscopic interface in HV(High Voltage) insulating systems. In this study, AC interfacial breakdown strength and V-t characteristic of the interface between Epoxy/EPDM(ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) are investigated. Electrode system is designed to reduce the charges from electrodes and to have the tangential potentials along the interface between Epoxy/EPDM by FEM(finite elements method). The AC breakdown strength is observed when HV is given to the interface. It is shown that AC interfacial breakdown strength is improved by increasing interfacial pressure and oiling. In particular, it was saturated at certain interfacial pressure level. V-t characteristic is able to extend to the life time of the interface between Epoxy/EPDM. Oiling also plays a good roll in prolongation of the life time.
