Marine transportation by ships is characterized by remote, large-volume and lower rates than the others carry system. Ships account for over 80% of all international trading, and marine transportation is an internationally competitive, strategic, and great national important industry. The construction of larger and faster ships has brought about many problems such as cavitations and erosion corrosion. Cavitations and erosion corrosion make damages on materials and leads to break down members due to continuous physical contacts with shock waves and fluids from the generation and extinction of air bubbles in sea water vortex. The steel used for ship constructions was spray-coated with Al wire, and additionally sealed with fluorine silicone sealing material. Results of experiment, corrosion resistance of sealed thermal spray coating was improved, however in cavitation resistance, the large effect was not appeared. Accordingly, this study applied for thermal spray coating to provide better electrochemical characteristics and corrosion resistance in marine environment.

Lightning is the discharging of high-voltage charged cells within clouds to earth other or to the earth. Lightning protection grounding is essential for the protection of buildings, distribution lines, and electrical equipment from lightning surges. Equipment grounding is for the purpose of controlling the voltage to earth within predictable limits. This paper investigates the effects of lightning arrester grounding resistance by analysing the neutral to earth voltages and arrester break down voltages when the lightning strike hits the distribution line. The case study was simulated numerically and graphically through the use of the EDSA software program.

In this paper, we investigated dielectric and insulation characteristics of epoxy resin which includes elastomers to improve mechanical property, as varied additive elastomer contents with 5[phr], 10[phr], 15[phr], and 20[phr]. We measured permittivity and tan $\delta$ at 1kHz of signal frequency and room temperature. And we also measured BVD(break-down voltage) and volume resistivities. According to the experimental results, it is appeared that when the additive elastomer contents are increasing, permittivity, volume resistivity, BVD and volume resistance are decreasing because elastomer remains inferior to epoxy resin on electrical properties.

It is expected that the impurities contained in a solid state insulation material will affect a considerable influence on its break-down voltage, dielectric loss, and insulation resistance. In this thesis, as a preliminary experimental research for the investigation described above, the effect of metalic barrier between the electrodes on the creepin flash over discharge voltage along the surface of a solid insulation material has been investigated, and got some interesting results. It was found that generaly the flash over voltage rises when a metalic barrier is located between the electrodes. The results of this investigation will be taken into account as an important components on the insulation design to prevent the creeping flash over discharge in insulators, bushings, and so on.

In this work, we investigated the static characteristics of 4H-SiC vertical metal-oxidesemiconductor field effect transistors (VMOSFETs) by adjusting the doping level of n-epilayer and the effect of a current spreading layer (CSL), which was inserted below the p-base region with highly doped n+ state ($5{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$). The structure of SiC VMOSFET was designed by using a 2-dimensional device simulator (ATLAS, Silvaco Inc.). By varying the n-epilayer doping concentration from $1{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ to $1{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$, we investigated the static characteristics of SiC VMOSFETs such as blocking voltages and on-resistances. We found that CSL helps distribute the electron flow more uniformly, minimizing current crowding at the top of the drift region and reducing the drift layer resistance. For that reason, silicon carbide VMOSFET structures of highly intensified blocking voltages with good figures of merit can be achieved by adjusting CSL and doping level of n-epilayer.

Increasing demands for Electric Resistance Welded pipes of high quality with thick wall require c lose investigations in edge deformation by slitting, strip deformation during break down farming, and difference of circumferential length. In order to obtain good quality of a welding zone, it is necessary to predict the edge shape of the initial strip. The modeling of the multi-pass thick tube roll forming process with rigid plastic finite element method ultra the edge shape prediction of an initial strip with 2nd-degree polynomial regression method are presented. Edge shapes of initial strip have been analyzed by the finite element method and designed by the regression method to satisfy the requirements in target fin pass. It is concluded that the proposed edge design method results in optimal edge shapes sat string the design requirements.

In this work, N-LDMOSFET(Lateral Double diffused MOSFET) was designed and fabricated on SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) substrate, for such applications as motor controllers and high voltage switches, fuel injection controller systems in automobile and SSR(Solid State Rexay)etc. The LDMOSFET was designed to overcome the floating body effects that appear in the conventional thick SOI MOS structure by adding p+ region in source region. Also, RESURF(Reduced SURface Field) structure was proposed in this work in order to reduce a large on-resistance of LDMOSFET when operated keeping high break down voltage. Breakdown voltage was 268v in off-state ($V_{GS}$=OV) at room temperature in $22{\mu}m$ drift length LDMOSFET. When 5V of $V_{GS}$ and 30V of $V_{DS}$ applied, the on resistance(Ron), the transcon ductance($G_m$) and the threshold voltage($V_T$) was 1.76k$\Omega$, 79.7uA/V and 1.85V respectively.

The usual way used by electric power stations to deliver high levels of generated power is via 6.6kV XLPE (or CV) cables. Depending on the manufacturing technique, installation environment, and usage conditions, the deterioration processes of the power cables start from the instant of operation. Cable junctions may break down in three years from the start of operation due to the manufacturing or construction defects. Otherwise they should be in good working order for 20-30 years. When the cable system (the cable itself and cable junctions combined) deteriorates, fire accidents happen due to the dielectric breakdowns. We have invented a device to monitor the deteriorating status of cables at Korean Western Power Co. Ltd. located in Taean, Chungcheongnam-do province. In this paper, we introduce the device hardware. Using the device, we have measured the insulation resistance and humidity in the sheath of the cables. We present, in analysed results, the effect of humidity on insulation resistance in cable sheaths.

To reduce noise in high frequency and distortion of signal, the composition of $(Ca_{0.7}Sr_{0.3})(Zr_{0.97}Ti_{0.03})O_3$ and $(Ba_{0.2}Ca_{0.4}Sr_{0.4})TiO_3$ was developed. The composition was not solid solution, but mixtures of various phases composed of Ca, Sr, Zr, Ti and Ba oxides. The dielectric constant increased, the quality factor and the insulation resistance decreased with $(Ba_{0.2}Ca_{0.4}Sr_{0.4})TiO_3$ content. The composition of $0.4(Ba_{0.2}Ca_{0.4}Sr_{0.4})TiO_3$ satisfied the electric characteristics and the temperature coefficient of dielectric constant (TCC). In addition, the glass frit and $MnO_2$ also affected the electric characteristics. From the result of the best fit simulation, $MnO_2$ 0.3 mol%, the glass frit 0.6 wt% showed the insulation resistance $906{\Omega}{\cdot}F$, the quality factor 821, and the dielectric constant 92. With the selected composition, MLCC capacitors sized $4.5{\times}3.2{\times}2.5mm$ were manufactured with 105 layered of the dielectric thickness $16{\mu}m$ using Ni inner electrode, They represented the capacitance $98{\sim}102$ nF, the quality factor 1,200 and the insulation resistance $1,500{\Omega}{\cdot}F$. Also, they had high break-down voltage with $107{\sim}115V/{\mu}m$, and satisfied the SL TCC characteristics.
