This paper introduces experimental investigates of an accident pattern for the distributing XLPE cable terminations considering PL law environment. The influence of defects such as thickness and length decrease of XLPE, the impurity on XLPE and the gap between stress-con of housing and semi-conductor on insulating properties of the termination have been studied. The thickness and length decrease of XLPE decrease ac breakdown strengths. Dielectric breakdown traces of XLPE that is damaged by knife displayed other shape. The gap of between housing and semiconductor deteriorates dielectric strength of XLPE seriously.

The time to tracking breakdown of treated filled specimen is longer than untreated filled specimen. And, after the RWDT, the surface of specimen by adding untreated filler appeared heavy erosion. It was found that the addition to surface treated filler. the better tracking resistance. In the RWDT, the breakdown specimen is not affected by the dry flashover voltage. despite the fact that the surface degradation of tracking test has different state on each specimen. This suggests that wet flashover voltage play an important role in evaluating of tracking and erosion on the surface degradation in tracking test. And, the flashover voltage of specimen under wet conditions are greatly affected by the salt concentration and degree of degradation by the RWDT. Because of hydrophobicity and degree of degradation by the RWDT, the flashover voltage of treated filled specimen is higher than that of untreated filled specimen. Different types of specimen may have different hydrophobicity and their surface state under contaminated conditions may not be the same. It is assumed that this phenomenon is related to the decrease in hydrophobicity of the surface of the materials.

The a-Si:H TFT using ferroelectric of $SrTiO_3$ as a gate insulator is fabricated on glass. Dielectric characteristics of ferroelectric are superior to $SiO_2$ and $Si_{3}N_{4}$. Ferroelectric increases on-current, decreases threshold voltage of TFT and also improves breakdown characteristics. The a-SiN:H has optical band gap of 2.61 eV, retractive index of 1.8∼2.0 and resistivity of $10^{13}$~$10^{15}$ $\Omega$cm, respectively. Insulating characteristics of ferroelectrics are excellent because dielectric constant of ferroelectric is about 60∼100 and breakdown strength is over 1MV/cm. TFT using ferroelectric has channel length of 8∼20 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and channel width of 80∼200 $\mu\textrm{m}$. And it shows that drain current is 3.4$\mu\textrm{A}$ at 20 gate voltage, $I_{on}$/$I_{off}$ is a ratio of $10^5$~$10^8$ and $V_{th}$ is 4∼5 volts, respectively. In the case of TFT without ferroelectric, it indicates that the drain current is 1.5 $\mu\textrm{A}$ at 20 gate voltage and $V_{th}$ is 5∼6 volts. With the improvement of the ferroelectric thin film properties, the performance of TFT using this ferroelectric has advanced as a gate insulator fabrication technology is realized.

Toward the practical applications, on operation of conduction-cooled HTS SMES at temperatures well below 40[K] should be investigated, in order to take advantage of a greater critical current density of HTS and considerably reduce the size and weight of the system. In order to take advantage of a greater critical current density of high temperature superconducting (HTS) and considerably reduce the size and weight of the system, conduction-cooled HTS superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) at temperatures well below 40[K] should be investigated. This work focuses on the breakdown and flashover phenomenology of dielectrics exposed in air and/or vacuum for temperatures ranging from room temperature to cryogenic temperature. Firstly, we summarize the insulation factors of the magnet for the conduction cooled HTS SMES. And Secondly a surface flashover as well as volume breakdown in air and/or vacuum with two kind insulators has been investigated. Finally, we will discuss applications for the HTS SMES including aging studies on model coils exposed in vacuum at cryogenic temperature. The commercial application of many conduction-cooled HTS magnets, however, requires refrigeration at temperatures below 40[K], in order to take advantage of a greater critical current density of HTS and reduce considerably the size and weight of the system. The magnet is driven in vacuum condition. The need to reduce the size and weight of the system has led to the consideration of the vacuum as insulating media. We are studying on the insulation factors of the magnet for HTS SMES. And we experiment the spacer configure effect in the dielectric flashover characteristics. From the results, we confirm that our research established basic information in the insulation design of the magnet.

Effects of ambient temperature on the ac electrical treeing and breakdown behaviors in an epoxy/layered silicate (1 wt%) were carried out in needle-plate electrode geometry. A layered silicate was exfoliated in an epoxy base resin,, using our ac electric field apparatus. To measure the treeing initiation and propagation, and the breakdown rate, constant alternating current (ac) of 10 kV (60 Hz) was applied to the specimen in a needle-plate electrode arrangement, at $30^{\circ}C$, $90^{\circ}C$ or $130^{\circ}C$ of insulating oil bath. At $30^{\circ}C$, the treeing initiation time and the breakdown time in the epoxy/layered silicate (1 wt%) system were 1.4 times higher than those of the neat epoxy resin. At $90^{\circ}C$ (lower than Tg), electrical treeing was initiated in 55 min, and propagated until 1,390 min at the speed of $0.35{\times}10^{-3}mm/min$, which was 4.4 times higher than that at $30^{\circ}C$; however, there was almost no further treeing propagation after 1,390 min. At $130^{\circ}C$ (higher than Tg), electrical treeing was initiated in 44 min, and propagated until 2,000 min at the speed of $0.96{\times}10^{-3}mm/min$. Typical branch type electrical treeing was obtained from the neat epoxy and epoxy/layered silicate at $30^{\circ}C$, while bush type treeing was observed out from the needle tip at $90^{\circ}C$ and $130^{\circ}C$.

It is impossible to database(DB) the patterns of cable events and cause analysis of faulted cable because the product liability(PL) law have been enforced in Korea, since 2002. In additions, simulation and pattern of cable events are needed for DB system under accelerated deterioration. In this paper, we tested for resistance to nicking of cable below the 22.9kV class due to thermal stresses. This method of exam is following IEC 60811-3-1(Common test methods for insulating and sheathing materials of electric cables). First of all, set the cable in the thermal stress instrument, temperature changed from -20 degree to 120 degree. After thermal stress, we observed a surface crack of cable through microscope and carried out AC withstand voltage test.

The effects of electric field frequency on the AC electrical treeing phenomena in an epoxy/layered silicate (1.5 wt%) were investigated in a needle-plate electrode arrangement. A layered silicate was exfoliated in an epoxy-base resin with AC electric field apparatus. To measure the treeing initiation and propagation- and the breakdown rate, a constant alternating current (AC) of 10 kV with three different electric field frequencies (60, 500, and 1,000 Hz) was applied to the specimen in the needle-plate electrode specimen in an insulating oil bath at $130^{\circ}C$. At 60 Hz, the treeing initiation time was 12 min, the propagation rate was $0.24{\times}10^{-3}$ mm/min, and the morphology was a dense branch type. As the electric field frequency increased, the treeing initiation time decreased and the propagation rate increased. At 1,000 Hz, the treeing initiation time was 5 min, the propagation rate was $0.30{\times}10^{-3}$ mm/min, and the morphology was a dense bush type.

Transformer mineral oil which is normally hydrocarbon based is non- biodegradable and pollutes the environment in all aspects. Though vegetable oils are eco-friendly in nature and potentially could be used in transformers as a replacement for the mineral oil, there usage is restricted because of their oxidative instability. The present work focuses on using rapeseed oil and pongamia (pongamia pinnata) oil as effective alternatives for the traditional mineral oil in power transformer. The oxidative stability of the rapeseed oil and pongamia oil is increased by using combinations of the natural and synthetic anti-oxidants as additives. The parameters like breakdown voltage, viscosity, flash point, fire point are measured for the rapeseed oil and pongamia oil with and without the additives as per IEC and ASTM standards. The results shown encouraging changes in the parameter values and ensures the use of the oils as a potential alternative insulation in power transformers.
