This paper dealt with the acoustic detection of partial discharge (PD) in insulation oil for insulation diagnostics of oil immersed transformers. Electrode systems such as needle to plane, plane to plane, and floating were fabricated to simulate some defects in transformers. A wide band acoustic emission(AE) sensor with the frequency ranges of 100 kHz~1 MHz and a narrow band AE sensor with the resonant frequency of 140 kHz were used in the experiment. Also, a decoupler and an amplifier were designed to detect and amplify the acoustic signal only. The decoupler separates acoustic signal from DC source without any distortion, and the amplifier has the gain of 40 dB in frequency ranges of 11 kHz~4 MHz. In the experiment, frequency components and propagation characteristics of acoustic signal were analyzed, and an algorithm of positioning of PD occurrence by the time difference of arrival was proposed. From the results, the frequency components of the acoustic signal exist from 50 kHz to 200 kHz and the positioning error of PD calculated by three AE sensors was within 1%.

This research is for temperature control of insulating oil inside the transformer. After I designed and manufactured various systems using Peltier element, which was thermal element, and Heat pipe, which was a cooling system, without electric power. The optimum system could be made by applying them to the temperature control for the insulating oil. I could verify that the combination type of Heat pipe 100 W+ Peltier 100W has a more outstanding capacity than pure Heat pipe 300 W within 60 degrees Celsius through experiments. Through this, I verify that the method of a proper design is prominent, and make an attempt at contribution to power saving effect and more effective control of Distributing board by using this combination type.

The total PCBs level in the transformer insulation oil samples using GC/ECD and HRGC/HRMS were ranged from 0.087 to $223.6{\mu}g/g$ and ranged from N.D. to $154.04{\mu}g/g$, respectively. The calculated TEQ values were ranged from 0.00067 to 6.8 ng WHO-TEQ/g. Among the samples, 6 samples showed higher than 2 ppm concentration (specific waste criterion of Korea). A variety in the concentration of total PCBs were observed between ECD and HRMS analysis. This is maybe due to quantification mehtod. The Aroclor 1248 wasn't present in the samples. The distribution pattern of Co-PCB congeners showed that the ratio of monoortho substituted congeners were higher than non-ortho substituted congeners. Among that, PCB-167 congener was predominant. In addition, the distribution of Co-PCBs congeners was different with that of flue gas and ambient air samples as well as commercial PCB formulations (Aroclor, Kanechlor).

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were commercially produced as complex mixtures beginning in 1929. The PCBs manufactured commercially are known by a variety of trade names including; Aroclor (USA), Phenoclor (France), Kaneclor (Japan), Sovol (USSR) and so on. PCBs are a class of 209 congeners that were widely used in a wide variety of applications, including dielectric fluid in transformers and large capacitors; heat transfer fluids; hydraulic fluids; lubricating and cutting oils; and as additives in pesticides, paints, adhesives, sealants, and plastics. The quantification methods of peak matching and coefficient comparison were compared using the Aroclor 1242, 1248, 1254, 1260 standards. Also, six transformer oils were analyzed as a main source of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) emission into the environment. The transformer oils contained the pure and mixed of Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254, and Aroclor 1260. The analytical results using two quantification methods showed the little difference between the measured results.

In this paper, we measured leakage current that produced by static electrification at pressboard and insulating paper. We found that the leakage current increased as temperature increased, as oil velocity increased. The leakage current at pressboard is higher than that of insulating paper.

변압기에서 발생하는 유중가스는 고장부위의 온도크기에 따라서 특징가스도 다른 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 변압기 고장온도중에서 낮은 온도영역에 해당되는 $300^{\circ}C$이하의 온도에서 열열화를 실시하여 유중가스분포의 거동을 분석하였다. 유중가스 분석결과 이 온도 영역에서는 절연지가 없는 경우 에탄가스가 특징가스로 나타났고, 절연지가 없는 경우도 일산화탄소와 이산화탄소가스의 농도가 크게 나타났다.

유입식변압기 내부고장의 조기발견을 위하여 유중가스분석법이 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 변압기 내부이상의 종류에 따른 발생가스의 특성과 유중가스분석법으로 사용되고 있는 key gas법 Donenburg법, Rosers법, IEC법에 대한 특성을 비교분석하였다. 동일한 가스성분에 의해서도 각 진단법이 의한 진단결과가 다르고, 또한 진단결과가 발생하지 않는 경우가 발생하고 있으며, 고장원인이 2가지 이상으로 복합되어 있는 경우 모든 고장원인을 밝혀낼 수 없는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, We investigated a charge elimination by using a needle electrode in order to prevent the electrification phenomena of insulating oil flowing by force at the internal transformer. In our experiment, We used Acryle and Teflon as the material of charge reducer and measured each of their streaming current and needle electrode current. As a result of experiment, We can explain that the current of needle electrode increase in proportion to insulation of charge reducer.

A field-oriented UHF system for on-line PD monitoring of transformers. is designed, which has been installed inside the oil tank of a transformer by two ways: on-line installing mode through the oil-valve and pre-installing mode through the man hole/hand hole cover. This system has successfully captured long intermittent discharge signals that hadn't been detected through conventional techniques, and solved the problem successfully. The results demonstrate that UHF technique has great advantages for on-line PD monitoring of transformers. By adopting the peak detection technique, it becomes easy and effective for the transplantation of the phase-resolved pattern recognition technique from conventional method to UHF method, and then to realize continuous on-line monitoring, source characterization and trending analysis.
