This paper describes insulation characteristics and partial discharge for the SF6 gas insulated transformer. The characteristic of gas insulated transformer and the degradation sequence of solid insulation under SF6 gas atmosphere were explained. The model electrode system of the types that the aramid papers were inserted between two sphere electrodes was prepared. The partial discharge tests were carried out to that system and the insulation characteristics were considered.

Performance of naturally circulating cooling system of $SF_6$ gas charged transformer was simulated and the variations of gas flow rate, maximum coil temperature, gas temperature and cooling air temperature were investigated with respect to the height of radiator, interplates distance and heat generation rate at core. The results show that the height of radiator most significantly affects the performance of natural circulating cooling system of transformer.

This paper deal with the experimental discussion about the impulse and AC dielectric strength of SF6 gas insulated transformer. Test sample is measured the dielectric breakdown voltage about modeling of the first and second section which is the weakest for surge voltage. The AC breakdown voltage is appeared 1.4 times than impulse breakdown voltage, so we can estimate that the impulse breakdown voltage is severe to AC breakdown voltage, and when the impulse is applied, in case of lmm tapping with Nomex paper, the characteristics of dielectric breakdown voltage is same to that in oil immersed transformer when SF6 gas pressure is 2.2kg/$cm^2$G.

We introduce the trend, of several countries, to the gas insulated transformer recently coming into the spot light by the advantages of less weight, GIS-lization, low noise level and easiness to decrease environmental pollutions, and the insulating gases. the cooling media and the insulating materials used for transformer. Hereinafter, additively the design of proto type $SF_6$ gas insulated transformer (insulation, cooling), which was developed by us(HICO) from 1987. 2 through 1990. 3, the manufacturing processes(leak protection, pressure, drying of main body), the accessories, the protective system, the cooling system, the method and the results of test and the evaluation of economics compared with conventional oil-filled transformer are represented.

The demand of Gas Insulated Transformer(GIT) using $SF_6$ gas as insulating and cooling medium is being increased dramatically in the underground substation of urban area because it has the advantages of non-flammable and non-explosive, etc. This paper describes the structural features and advantages of the gas insulated transformer compare to an oil immersed transformer, and presents a brief overview of the consideration and technology which apply to $SF_6$ gas insulated transformer.

In this paper the breakdown and dielectric characteristics of purified transformer oil dissolved with $SF_6$ Gas are investigated with a few decade MHz frequency voltage. The results are as follows. 1) High frequency current is a approximately proportional to the square root of high frequency voltage in purified transformer oil. 2) As frequency increase breakdown voltage decrease inversely proportional to the square root of frequency and the high frequency breakdown voltage is lower about 35 percentage than that of AC 3) The breakdown voltage of high frequency has a little increase with the pressure increase of dissolved $SF_6$, Air and Ar Gas. 4) As voltage freguency increases the value of the dielectric loss tangent has increased almost exponentially and the dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$) has tended to decrease with a slope[0.6% MHz]. 5) When dissolved with $SF_6$ Gas, oil electrical characteristics has more increased about 25% than in Air or Ar gas with high voltage frequency.

$SF_6$ gas would be used in power transformer, GIS (Gas insulated switchgear) and so on because of its electrically superior insulation and chemically stable structure. Recently, the reduction of $SF_6$ is required to avoid global warming and the researches on the dilution of $SF_6$ with other gases have been carried out. $SF_6$ mixture gases with $N_2$ and $C_xF_y$ have drawn attention to the synergy effect. However, in order to understand the mechanism of the synergy effect, it is important to analyze and evaluate properties of mixture gases quantitatively. In this paper, we investigated the mechanism of synergy effect from electron collision processes and electron energy distribution by solving Boltzmann equation with propagator method. Three kinds of gases for dilution of $SF_6$ ($SF_6/N_2$, $SF_6/CF$4 and $SF_6/C_4F_8$) are considered in this simulation. On the properties of $SF_6/N_2$ mixture gas, the variation of reduced electric field was shown highly within 0%~40% mixtures of $SF_6$. And the more low-level electron energy has been distributed, the higher insulation capability has appeared.

Spacer is used between main tank and auxiliary tank for on load tap changer in gas insulated power transformer. This paper deals with electrical design of spacer and discusses different analysis method of between 2D FEM(finite element method) and 3D FEM. To design spacer, we modeled structure of two kind of coaxial cylinders of spacer conductors and analysised electric field of spacer at impulse and induced test voltage condition. Spacer has 13 conductors and electric field was changed according to arrangement of conductors. We could find out arrangement of conductors at which electric stress is minimum. And this arrangement was satisfied with actual test conditions.

$SF_6$ gas has been widely used the gas insulated transmission line, gas insulated transformer and gas insulated substation and Polyester film used as the turn insulation with other material. $SF_6$ gas has been actively studied in domestic and foreign countries. In general, when dielectric surface electric field exceed any electric field strength on air, corona discharge is occurred from the dielectric surface. This paper presents the insulation strength of turn insulation of $SF_6$-PET film studied under application of AC voltage, constitute of the plane to plane with PET Film. The results obtained in experimental are summarized that Partial Discharge Initial Voltage(PDIV) of turn insulation depend on gas pressure, but Breakdown Voltage(BDV) did not depend on gas pressure.
