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.

본 논문에서는 유침절연에 대한 열열화와 전기적열화 실험을 실시하여 유중가스분석법을 이용한 유침절연의 고장원인 진단에 대한 신뢰성을 향상시키는 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 유침절연의 고장원인에 대하여 주도가스법과 탄화수소가스의 구성률, CO/$CO_2$비와 같은 진단요소를 단독으로 사용하는 것보다는 진단요소들의 상호관계를 이용하는 것이 유침절연의 고장원인을 신뢰성 있게 진단하는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper studied the streaming electrification of the U.H.V. transformer with the spinning cylinder system, and compared and analyzed it with the conventional forced flowing system which uses a pump or gas for oil flowing. Also, accumulated surface voltage in its electrified material was measured with the electrostatic voltmeter, and the effect of insulation oil aging was measured. As results, in spinning cylinder system, characteristics of the streaming electrification to its rotational speed and oil temperature are same tendency as those of tile forced flowing system and it showed the spinning cylinder system is useful to study the streaming electrification. And, aging of insulation oil increases the electricity of streaming electrification at initial stage of aging.

In recent years, environmental concerns have been raised on the use of poorly biodegradable fluids in electrical apparatus in regions where spills from leaks and equipment failure could contaminate the surroundings. The newly invented vegetable insulating oil is highly biodegradable and have negligible impact on the environment, human health and the ecosystem. For development of the environmental-friendly pole transformer using vegetable insulating oil, the dielectric constructions of the pole transformer were discussed in this paper. Depending on the dielectric constructions, the AC breakdown characteristics of the Nomex insulating papers and the vegetable insulating oil were studied by simulated electrode systems. Based on the experimental results, the maximum design stress($E_{max}$) for insulation design of the environmental-friendly pole transformer were suggested.

This paper dealt with the measurement and analysis of electromagnetic waves generated by partial discharges in insulation oil to develop insulation diagnostic techniques for power transformer. Two types of narrow-band monopole antennas with the resonant frequency of 500 MHz and 1 GHz were designed and fabricated. We simulated defects which consist of a needle electrode with curvature radius of 10 ${\mu}m$ and a plane electrode with diameter of 60 mm in insulation oil. From the experiment, the maximum output voltage of the fabricated antennas was measured; 620 $mV_{max}$ for 500 MHz resonant frequency and 920 $mV_{max}$ for 1 GHz resonant frequency.

Frequency Domain Spectroscopy (FDS) measurements were performed on pressboard samples containing different moisture contents and on insulation system of power transformers. The results were used for evaluating sensitivity of the so-called X - Y model, which is applied for estimating moisture content in transformer insulation using the results of FDS measurements. Based on the observations of this analysis a simplified model, called X model, was introduced in which the presence of spacers in transformer insulation has been neglected. Finally, reliability of the X model was assessed by comparing estimates of moisture contents based on FDS measurements on field installed power transformers with moisture contents obtained from chemical analyses of their oil samples.

One of the methods currently being investigated as a possible non-intrusive diagnostic tool for condition monitoring of power transformer and cable is the recovery voltage measurement, which will be improving the ability to detect the content of water concentration and the ageing process in the insulation system and may thus be an indicator of insulation quality and its ageing status. The polarization phenomenon was studied using RVM with oil-paper samples. In order to interpret its mechanism, the Extended Debye model was introduced. With different circuit parameters, various simulation results were gotten. Furthermore, with the test samples of different ageing condition, measurements are accomplished in the lab. On the basis of this experiment as well as theoretical analysis, correlations between polarizations and ageing were analyzed.

This paper describes a study on gas dissolved distribution in oil for simulated transformer thermal faults. Experimental chamber was setup for simulation of transformer thermal faults or discharge in oil with or without insulation paper. The experimental results showed that dissolved gases in oil excluding the paper did not evolved upto $150^{\circ}C$. Hereafter the planned gas dissolved analysis will be continuously carried out for transformer fault conditions with or without insulation paper related to water absorption, arc and partial discharge.

In this paper, in order to analyze high electrical insulation and cooling performance using mineral oil, the liquid insulating oil was changed in electrode shape and distance between electrodes to compare and analyze electrical characteristics according to equal electric field, quasi-equivalent electric field, and unequal electric field. As a result, the breakdown voltages were 36,875 V and 36,875 V in the form of sphere-sphere and plate-plate electrodes with equal electric fields. The breakdown voltage was 31,475 V in the sphere-plate electrode type, which is a quasi-equilibrium field, and the breakdown voltage was 28,592 V, 27,050 V, and 22,750 V in the needle-needle, sphere-needle, and needle-plate electrode types, which are unequal fields. Through this, it is possible to know the difference in breakdown voltage according to the type of electric field. The more equal the field, the higher the breakdown voltage, and the more unequal field, the lower the breakdown voltage. The difference in insulation breakdown voltage could be seen depending on the type of electric field, the insulation breakdown voltage was higher for the more equal electric field, and the insulation breakdown voltage was lower for the more unequal electric field. Also, it was confirmed that the closer the distance between the electrodes, the higher the insulation breakdown voltage, the higher the insulation breakdown current, and the insulation breakdown voltage and the insulation breakdown current were proportional.

This paper deals with the effect of decomposition products which occur in breakdown of mineral oil, on the insulation characteristics of its oil. Breakdown tests in the oil were conducted by the proposed experimental methods under a quasi-uniform field and AC HV (60Hz). The breakdown voltage in the oil shows characteristics of dispersion from successive breakdowns and, it is found that there are three patterns of the decomposition products behavior at the process of breakdown progress in the oil. Finally, the breakdown voltage dispersion in the oil can be described in detail based on the behavior patterns of the decomposition products and its diffusion time.
