Electrical properties of acrylic acid and n-butyl acrylate grafted polyethylene were investicated. Charge accumulation characterist-ics of acrylic acid grafted PE are changed by graft ratio, but it remains not changed in n-butyl acrylate grafted PE. It was also observed that anti-treeing and AC breakdown strength of grafted PE were increased due to the graft ratio. The change of electrical properties of grafted PE were attributed to the polar group introduced by the graft reaction.

Growth of Electrical Tree Under 50Hz~60Hz high electric stress has been studied on the Occurrence of a Pattern, to the Progression Speed at Y axis of electrical Tree. CCD Images of evolving tree structures could be obtained in both systems. Electrical Treeing was found to occur reproducibly, but in a markedly different manner in the two morphologimlly different but chemically identical materials. For the measurement of Electrical Tree, a visual measurement with an optical microscope has been used to explain breakdown mechanism in High-voltage systems.

The growth of tree is affected by voltage, frequency, temperature, mechanical stress, etc.. This paper describes the effect of applied voltage on the growth of tree in DGEBA/MDA/GN(10 phr) system. As applied voltage increased, the time to breakdown of the system reduced. As applied time increased, the tree length of X-axis increased with sigmoid shape, however, the tree length of Y-axis increased sharply at the initial step and then were nearly constant. The phenomena of tree were complicated more and more, as applied time increased.

본 논문은 절연재료의 보이드(void)나 크랙(crack)과 같은 결함이 부분방전을 일으킴으로서 절연재료가 열화되어 최종적으로 파괴에 이른다. 특히 부분방전 중에서 트리잉 열화는 절연재료에 매우 치명적이다. 또한 고전압,고전계 기술분야에서 절연파괴전압이나 일정전압 인가시 수명 시간 데이터는 중요하다. 파괴 통계에 주로 많이 사용하는 와이블 확률 분포를 이용하여 트리잉 파괴에 대한 수명을 평가를 시도하였다. 시료의 형태는 침대 평판전극이고 시료는 저밀도 폴리에틸렌이다 인가 전압은 상용 교류 전압 8,10,12[kV]를 인가하였다. 척도 파라메타는 전압이 증가함에 따라 128.7$\longrightarrow$96.4$\longrightarrow$85.4로 감소하고 형상 파라메타는 전압이 증가함에 따라 2.39$\longrightarrow$2.19$\longrightarrow$2.02로 감소한다. 따라서 시료의 추정 수명은 110분, 81.57분, 49.27분으로 전압이 증가함에 따라 수명이 급격히 단축됨을 알 수 있다.

One of the cause of insulation failure in power cable is well known by electrical treeing discharge. This is occurred for imposed continuous stress at cable. And this event is related to safety, reliability and maintenance. In this paper, throughout analysis of partial discharge(PD) distribution when occurring the electrical tree, is studied for the purpose of knowing of electrical treeing discharge characteristics according to defects. Own characteristic of tree will be differently processed in each defect and this reason is the first purpose of this paper. To acquire PD data, three defective tree models were made. And their own data is shown by the phase-resolved partial discharge method (PRPD). As a result of PRPD, tree discharge sources have their own characteristics. And if other defects (void, metal particle) exist internal power cable then their characteristics are shown very different. This result Is related to the time of breakdown and this is importance of cable diagnosis. And classification method of PD sources was studied in this paper. It needs select the most useful method to apply PD data classification one of the proposed method. To meet the requirement, we select methods of different type. That is, neural network(NN-BP), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and PCA-LDA were applied to result. As a result of, ANFIS shows the highest rate which value is 98 %. Generally, PCA-LDA and ANFIS are better than BP. Finally, we performed classification of tree progress using ANFIS and that result is 92 %.

Measurements of ultrasonic signals caused by partial discharges were perlonnrl by using an ultrasonic measurement technique to diagnose the electrical treeing deterioration in an epoxy mold-type power transformer. We also examined the characteristics of tree growth, partial discharge magnitude and ultrasonic pulse number with the increase of the deterioration time. From these results, it was found that the shape of the tree was a branch-type, and the rates of the tree growth were examined when ac voltages of 16[kV] and 20[kV] were applied Ultrasonic pulse number and discharge magnitude were rapidly increased as the length of the tree grows after the middle stage of the deterioration time, and it appeared that ultrasonic pulse number was proportional to discharge magnitude. Attenuation, time-delaying and directivity characteristics of ultrasonic signals propagated into epoxy resin by using ultrasonic oscillation and receiving systems are also re[prted as a basic data of ultrasonic mesasurements in mold-type power transformer.former.

The potential of nanocomposites have been drawing the intention of the researchers from energy storage to electrical insulation applications. Nanocomposites are known to improve dielectric properties, such as the increase in dielectric breakdown strength, suppressing the partial discharge (PD) as well as space charge, and prolonging the treeing, etc. In this review, different theories have been established to explain the reactions at the interaction zone of polymer matrix and nanofiller; the characterization methods of nanocomposites are also presented. Furthermore, the remarkable findings in the fields of epoxy, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) nanocomposites are reviewed. In this study, it was observed that there is lack of comparison between results of lab scale specimens and actual field aged cables. Also, non-standardization of the preparation methods and processing parameters lead to changes in the polymer structure and its surface degradation. However, on the positive side, recent attempt of 250 kV XLPE nanocomposite HVDC cables in service may deliver a promising performance in the coming years. Moreover, materials such as self-healing polymer nanocomposites may emerge as substitutes to traditional insulations.
