Recently many research activities on the diagnosis of stator winding insulation of large rotating machines have been reported. Capacitive couplers are widely used as sensors for on-line partial discharge (PD) measurement of high voltage rotating machines. This paper presents laboratory test to compare Stator Slot Coupler (SSC), Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD), 80 [pF] coupler and 500 [pF] coupler for on-line PD measurement of rotating machines.

In this paper, it is discussed the correlation between shape of tree and internal partial discharge in low density polyethylene(LDPE) blended with organic compounds that used to improve the effect of resistance to treeing. Initiation and growing of tree are retarded in specimens blended with organic compounds that comprised radical having large electron affinity, and also discharge magnitude and counts of discharging pulse per unit time in these samples are more than those in others. It is observed that the shape of tree in these samples is bush type, but in case of pure LDPE samples dendrite type.

The ESD(electrostatic discharge) protection performance of PPS(PMOS pass structure) embedded N-type silicon controlled rectifier(NSCR_PPS) device with different partial p-well(PPW) structure was discussed for high voltage I/O applications. A conventional NSCR_PPS standard device shows typical SCR-like characteristics with low on-resistance, low snapback holding voltage and low thermal breakdown voltage, which may cause latch-up problem during normal operation. However, our proposed NSCR_PPS devices with modified PPW_PGM(primary gate middle) and optimal CPS(counter pocket source) implant demonstrate the stable ESD protection performance with high latch-up immunity.

Continuous, high-quality supply of electrical energy is the backbone of any modern economy. Any equipment operating at a power station must be reliable and safe. All major power supply components such as transformers, cables, generators, and switchgear need to be kept in perfect operating condition. The lifetime of power cables, used as the main means of transferring electric power, is understood to be about 30 years, from the time of manufacturing. The dielectrics between two conductors of a cable must be able to withstand electrical stresses from high-voltage input. This condition should be verified throughout the lifetime of the cable system. Several techniques, such as VLF-tan${\delta}$, partial discharge, and insulation resistance are used in order to determine the operating conditions of cables. In this paper, we present our work on insulation resistance to diagnose cables in operation at the Western Power station in Taean, Chungcheong Namdo Province, South Korea. As a result we have found cables the life time of which is 38 years.

Nondestructive and destructuve insulation tests were performed the high voltage rotating machine in the local thermal power plants. Nondestructive tests include measurements of insulation resistance. polarization index, AC current. tan$\delta$, partial discharge. Destructive tests include measurements of AC hipot and DC hipot. This paper propose to establish the insulation diagnosis cycle for high voltage rotating machine.

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device, so called, N-type embedded silicon controlled rectifier (NESCR), was analyzed for high voltage operating I/O applications. A conventional NESCR standard device shows typical SCR-like characteristics with extremely low snapback holding voltage, which may cause latch-up problem during normal operation. However, our modified NESCR_CPS_PPW device with proper junction/channel engineering such as counter pocket source (CPS) and partial P-well structure demonstrates highly latch-up immune current-voltage characteristics with high snapback holding voltage and on-resistance.

Silicone rubber has very excellent chemical stability and hydrophobicity. A hydrophobic surface can prevent the formation of continuous water films on the surface in wet and heavily contaminated conditions. This phenomenon contributes to the suppression of leakage current and partial discharges on insulator surfaces. Silicone rubber has been used much for housing materials of polymer insulators. ATH is added to the silicone rubber for improvement of its resistance against surface discharge. In this paper, ATH with different particle size and content was added to the silicone rubber during compounding. Silicone rubber was deteriorated by a corona treatment. Hydrophobicity recovery rate after corona treatment and arc resistance of silicone rubber were investigated. Hydrophobicity recovery rate of silicone rubber was evaluated by the measurement of contact angle. Arc resistance was evaluated by measuring weight loss of silicone rubber after arc resistance test. It was observed that the hydrophobicity recovery rate and arc resistance of silicone rubber were different when different particle size and content of ATH were added.

Surface electrical conduction in insulator is most important factor to assess the insulation performances of outdoor insulating materials. In this paper, contamination performance of the widely used materials for outdoor insulator - porcelain, EPDM, Silicone rubber - were discussed by measuring properties of average leakage current and scintillation discharge pulses under artificial contamination conditions. The artificial contaminations used were deionized distilled water fog, 0.5wt% NaCl salt fog of light pollution and 2wt% NaCl salt fog of medium pollution. The average leakage current was appeared linearly with applied voltage at dry and clean surface condition. The magnitude of leakage current was almost same at different kinds of samples. In case of deionized distilled water fog, the characteristics of leakage current and applied voltage was most different to that in case of dry and clean condition. In case of salt fog pollution condition, The leakage current was increased above critical voltage. The scintillation discharges were also activated at the level. the leakage current and scintillation discharges were increased with increasing pollution degree. The resistance to pollution properties of silicone rubber appeared excellent among them.
