애자는 송전선 시스템에서 전기적으로나 기계적으로 매우 중요한 소자이다. 송전선 시스템에 설치된 이후 애자의 열화 등에 의해 고장이 난 애자를 찾아내기 위해 애자로 부터의 방사 소음을 측정하여 분석하였다. 대상으로 한 제품은 2종류의 현수 애자, COS, 2종류의 Line Poster, 피뢰기이며, 이들 제품의 정상 상태와 고장 상태의 방사 소음을 각각 측정하여 시간 파형, 주파수 스펙트럼, 피크 검출의 결과를 서로 비교하여 그 차이점을 제시하였다. 또한, 이를 바탕으로 방사 소음으로부터 고장 상태의 애자의 검출의 가능성 및 그 방법을 제시하였다.

Porcelain suspension insulators aged for 1, 5 and 10 years on Korean transmission lines and new insulators are tested for autoclave expansion. The compressive strength of the insulators aged in an autoclave with conditions of $250\;^{\circ}C$ and at 20 atm for 30 minutes, was about $7.6\;kgf/mm^2$, which is close to that measured on insulators aged for 10 years in the field. From simulation results, the cement displacement changed linearly with temperature. At a temperature of $200\;^{\circ}C$, the shear stress was approximately $7\;kgf/mm^2$; a stress that is brought about by a 0.07 % expansion of the cement. It is evident that the cement would fracture at a 0.07 % expansion, because the cement has about 7 to $9\;kgf/mm^2$ flexure strength. A turning point in the shear stress with mechanical load occurred at 0.02 % cement expansion. From an analysis of the porcelain body it is shown that there is sufficient margin of strength to guard against fracture of the porcelain body even for a cement expansion more than 0.12 %.

The ageing cause in many porcelain suspension insulators which occur on transmission and distribution line with dead-end stings is mechanical stress in interface between porcelain and cement materials. It is known that the principal mechanical stress which give electrical failure is the results of the displacement is due to cement growth. We studied an analysing method to find out a deformation of brittle porcelain with a thermal expansion of cement for suspension insulator. These simulation analysis and experimental results show that cement volume growths affect severely to be mechanical failure ageing. These simulation analysis and experimental results show that axial loading affects of Porcelain insulators severely to be mechanical failure ageing.

The paper provides the characteristic analyses of porcelain suspension insulators. The comparisons of characteristics were made as a function of failed and unfailed insulators which had ben used in the fields. This paper also describes the failure modes occurred in the fields. The aging of cement corrosion of metal breaking of shed puncture in the head and separation of glaze are different failure modes for porcelain suspension insulators. Among these failure modes the puncture breaking and glaze problems were major concerns in this research. The cracks porosities of porcelain and micro-crystals on the graze were the causes of these failures. These results were confirmed by conducting various failure analyses.

This paper provides the results and analyses of investigations into porcelain suspension insulators failures on the KEPCO system. The high failure rate of suspension insulators on distribution lines has been attributed to the volume expansion of the cement, the insulation puncture breakdown of the porcelain and the power arc failure. The utility must use only the good insulators and at least reduce the insulator failure rate. So, this paper recommends that the utility make test criteria(cement expansion test, steep front-of-wave flashover voltage test and power arc test. etc) on the suspension insulators.

In this paper, we investigated on the characteristics and assessment of the insulators damaged by hitting tester(ST-100, Sharp-Eng, KOR). It made that an apparatus act on KS C 3801 for the damaged characteristics and assessment of insulators according to external scattering objects. There are selected 255mm glass insulators and 254mm porcelain insulators as the specimen. The hitting angles of the damaged insulator by pendulum weight are at $72^{\circ}$. At these points, velocity of pendulum weight is about 3.04m/sec and the force is 58.16N. At the hitting angle of 26 degrees, glass insulator is diffused the vibration within it but porcelain insulator is not. The inside vibrations of glass insulator and porcelain insulator are as like as two at the hitting angle of 53 degrees. The damaged glass insulator at the hitting angle of 72 degrees hardly is not diffused.

In order to analyze the properties of domestically produced 36,000lb porcelain insulators by change of the alumina addition to raw materials, 36000lb ball socket type suspension insulators that were manufactured in 1989, 1995 and 2001 were removed from transmission lines and an experiment was performed. The results indicated that 8 [wt.%] alumina, which influences the mechanical properties and arc resistance properties in the case of insulators that were manufactured in 1989 was contained, and the relative density and the fracture toughness of insulators appeared by 94.2% and 1.4 [MpaㆍM/sup 1/2/], respectively. However, 12 [wt.%] alumina was contained in the case of insulators that were manufactured in 1995, and the relative density and the fracture toughness of insulators appeared preferably lower by 92% and 1.3 [MpaㆍM/sup 1/2/], respectively. The greatest amount of alumina was contained by 17 [wt.%] in the case of insulators that were manufactured in 2001. It was confirmed that the electrical and mechanical characteristics such as the relative density and the fracture toughness appeared remarkably by 96% and 1.7 [Mpaㆍm/sup 1/2/], respectively.

The microstructure, phase, and mechanical properties of three aged porcelain insulators which were manufactured in different years (1973, 1995 and 2008) and which were used in the field for different amounts of time, were investigated. With X-ray 3D computed tomography (CT), defects with ~mm size can be detected without destroying the aged insulators. Defects of small specimens, which are cut from the aged insulators and polished, are analyzed with optical and scanning electron microscopy (OM and SEM), and defects of um size are detected by OM and SEM. The number and size of defects in all the aged insulators are similar. Porcelain insulators manufactured in 1973 contain more $SiO_2$ (quartz and cristobalite) than those manufactured in 2008. Those manufactured in 2008 contain more $Al_2O_3$ than those manufactured earlier. The Vickers hardness of the insulator manufactured in 1973 has the lowest value. The formation of the cristobalite ($SiO_2$) in the insulator manufactured in 1973 which can come from the phase transformation of quartz can cause stress in the insulator by formation of microcracks, which can lead to the low hardness of the insulator.

When insulators are operated near cement factories, some amount of cement powder may be stuck on the surface of insulators and decreases their electrical performances. Three kinds of insulators, such as, silicone EPDM and porcelain insulators, are tested in this paper. Testing Voltage of 25kV is applied to the samples, and surface leakage current is measured for 6 months after cement solvent of 10 vol% was stuck on the surface of each insulator in the laboratory. Insulation layers are cut from 3 and 6 month-aged insulators and tested for ac breakdown, impulse breakdown, contact angle. After aging, electrical properties are unchanged in silicone and EPDM insulators but show some changes in porcelain insulators.

This study presents the thermal stress characteristics of TL porcelain insulators(healthy and ageing) by the accelerating thermal mechanical ageing test with forced temperature gradient. The test temperature gradient is $95^{\circ}C(-35{\sim}60^{\circ}C)$, it was focused to high temperature thermal stress as compared with IEC 60575 standard. There was no a discrimination in the case of healthy aluminous porcelain insulators, dissimilarly in crystoballite insulators according to this test method. It was indicated that the long tenn reliability by thermal stress was conformed reasonably through the conventional accelerating ageing test methods.
