To perform ultrasonic testing (UT) thickness measurement of the secondary side piping installed in nuclear power plants, the insulation for preventing heat loss should be removed. The type of insulation can be divided into fixed and removable insulation. Fixed and removable insulation have their own strengths and weaknesses. Removable insulation has been installed in the components susceptible to wall thinning caused by FAC and erosion from Shin-Kori unit 1, which commenced its commercial operation in 2011. In this paper, the number of repeated inspections of components and the number of replacements of fixed insulation were estimated and a more economical way was identified based on the manufacturing and installation costs for fixed and removable insulation.

Insulation coordination is a key problem in UHVDC systems in terms of safety and cost. Although high-voltage ±1100kV UHVDC projects are being planned in China, the characteristics and key points of high-voltage systems have not yet been analyzed. This study aims to improve the safe, effective operation of these high-voltage power transmission systems. First, we analyzed two typical insulation coordination schemes used in ±800kV UHVDC systems in China. Next, we used the two typical ±800kV insulation coordination schemes as a reference to analyze the ±1100kV UHVDC system. Finally, we compared these schemes and proposed an effective insulation coordination solution, as well as developing principles for ±1100kV UHVDC systems. Our findings indicate that the points enduring the highest voltage in the system should be protected separately by special arresters. Our analysis of the insulation coordination of ±800kV and ±1100kV UHVDC systems concluded that, in ±1100kV UHVDC systems, the main goal of insulation coordination is to lower the insulation level of points enduring the highest voltage. However, in a ±800kV UHVDC system, the main goal is to reduce the cost of manufacture for arresters, as well as the space occupation in the valve hall, with an acceptable insulation level.

Because Insulation material is play an important part for normal work of electricity equipment, the study is advanced, but as the voltage of electricity system is raising, we required that new lnsulation material. They have excellent specific against high stress, namely the study of insulation increase and prevention diagnosis of insulation degradation of Epoxy or XLPE and so on. In this thesis. I utilize image processing technique for effective inspection of insulation material degradation.

The insulation is a important part of cable. In thisb paper, measured the insulation resistance for analysing of change of insulation resistance by filler on low voltage multicore cables. The insulation resistance is not effected by only insulation material, but also filler material. The insulation resistance is different with measuring before filling and after filling by filler. When develope the new filler or cable, the volume resistance of filler must be considered.

Purpose: The current study analyzed trends in thermal insulation performance with aging, and condensation characteristics caused by the former. Method: Thermal insulation and condensation prevention performance of an architecture were assessed using Temperature Difference Ration Inside, or TDRi. Subjects of this quantitative analysis in thermal insulation performance change due to aging included recently constructed apartments and aged apartments older than 40 years. Time series comparison and analysis were conducted to observed changes in the thermal insulation performance and condensation characteristics. Result: Analysis showed that wall insulation performance degraded with aging regardless of fortified insulating material usage or insulating material type, which caused increased danger of condensation. In addition, when fortified insulating material was installed on the connection between the walls, insulation performance degradation was lower compared to cases in which fortified materials were not used. In all cases from 1 to 10, the rate of thermal insulation performance degradation increased after 20 years of aging.

Elastomeric Flexible Cellular Insulation is widely used in construction fields to prevent condensation and frozen pipes, reduce energy, and improve insulation. However, when Elastomeric Flexible Cellular Insulation has been installed in buildings in Korea, there was no standardization, which resulted in heat loss Therefore, insulation design standards need to be developed and from these standards, pipe insulation should be improved to increase its efficiency. This study estimates temperature and surface-emissivity according to the thickness of insulation to evaluate thermal performance.

This paper examines the insulation performance of synthetic air and dry air. This examination was conducted based on dielectric strength in uniform and non-uniform field, electric field distribution by interior structure and defects in gas insulation switchgear (GIS) and insulation performance in different temperatures. From this review, it was found that eco-insulation gas required to possess low moisture content for power equipment in the distribution class. The results of this paper are valuable to ensure the insulation design and insulation reliability of GIS using air.

Nowadays, many research execute about sandwich-insulation wall for durability of wall and retaining insulation performance. But sandwich-insulation, different exterior and interior insulation, need to form-tie which supporting both side form. And because of it penetrate concrete wall, it is worried about thermal-bridge phenomenon to form-tie. So, this research classify penetration type and buried type and analysis thermal-phenomenon of each type's form-tie and insulation performance. As a result, all form-tie type little occur thermal-bridge but penetration form-tie have superior insulation performance and low U-value.

External Insulation Method is to place the insulation on the outside of concrete. External Insulation Method is better than Internal Insulation Method to the protection of structure. However, The phenomenon that External Insulation falling from the structure occurs frequently. Apply method of External Insulation is divided Wet Construction, Dry Construction and Wet & Dry Construction. The purpose of this study is to test Bonding Strength of External Insuation. Furthermore, on the basis of this study, External Insulation Method determines the effective development will be made.

This paper reported a study on the thermal, mechanical and electrical insulation properties of epoxy/mica composites. To investigate the effect of mica content, glass transition temperature, mechanical properties such as tensile and flexural strength, and insulation breakdown properties for epoxy composites with various contents of mica. The effect of insulation thickness on insulation breakdown property was also studied. It was observed that tensile and flexural strength decreased with increasing mica content, while elastic modulus increased as the mica content increased. AC insulation breakdown strength for all epoxy/mica composites was higher than that of neat epoxy and that of the system with 20 wt% mica was 14.4% improved. As was expected, insulation breakdown strength at $30^{\circ}C$ was far higher than that at $130^{\circ}C$, and it was also found that insulation breakdown strength was inversely proportion to insulation thickness.
