This paper presents the general recommendations for the overload criterions of mineral-oil-immersed distribution transformers rated 100kVA and less. For this purpose, we analyze the characteristics of top-oil temperature rising for mineral-oil-immersed power distribution transformer rated 100kVA and less, manufactured in Korea, In order to analyze the characteristics of top-oil temperature rising due to the distribution transformer loading, we performed experiments at KERI (Korea Electrical Research Institute) from December 2000 to May 2001. The restraint of ambient temperatures for the experiment results is solved using the results of foreign standards. Finally, we present the overload criterions of distribution transformer for summer and winter season, respectively.

With the intention of investigating the breakdown properties of oil-immersed transformer oils in temperature range of 20∼100[$^{\circ}C$], we are made researches AC breakdown in the gap of 500∼2,500[$\mu\textrm{m}$]. The classification for the physical properties of oil for oil-immersed transformer by FTH and $^1$H-NMR experiments was confirmed to type of mineral oils. As the dependance of breakdown properties due to electrode gap length variation, breakdown voltage was found increasing according to the increase of gap, while dielectric strength was decreasing. As a result the characteristics for AC breakdown, It goes to prove that the breakdown voltage was increased to 90[$^{\circ}C$] but decreased over 90[$^{\circ}C$] in the temperature range. Also, breakdown voltage was found increasing in the increase of gap and the rising of temperature according to Weibull distribution.

Starting from the distribution transformer, the insulation oil for the oil immersed power transformer is being used to convert the vegetable oil from the existing mineral oil. Vegetable oil is better in temperature characteristics and insulation performance, is not toxic, and has better biodegradable characteristic than that of mineral oil. In order to investigate the corona inception voltage and dieclectic charateristics of the two insulating oils, three oil immersed transformers using mineral oil and vegetable oil were made and thermal cyclic aged. In this paper, the changes in the corona discharge inception voltage, chemical and electrical properties of the two sampled insulating oils from the transformers had been studied.

This paper covers general recommendations for top-oil temperature rising of mineral-oil-immersed power distribution transformer rated 100kVA and less, manufactured in Korea. In order to analyze the top-oil temperature rising due to the distribution transformer loading we performed experiments for oil-immersed distribution transformer, manufactured in domestic at KERI(Korea Electrical Research Institute) from December 2000 to May 2001. The magnitude of loading were changed, and the top-oil temperatures for each time were measured. Finally, we present the overload criteria of distribution transformer for summer and winter season in domestic. respectively.

With the intention of investigating the breakdown properties of oil-immersed transformer oils in temperature range of $20\sim100[^{\circ}C]$, we are made researches AC breakdown in the gap of $500\sim2500[{\mu}m]$. The classification for the physical properties of oil for oil-immersed transformer by FTIR and H-NMR experiments was confirmed to type of mineral oils. As the dependance of breakdown properties due to electrode gap length variation, breakdown voltage was found increasing according to the increase of gap, while dielectric strength was decreasing. As a result the characteristics for AC breakdown, It goes to prove that the breakdown voltage was increased to $90[^{\circ}C]$ but decreased over $90[^{\circ}C]$ in the temperature range. Also, breakdown voltage was found increasing in the increase of gap and the rising of temperature according to Weibull distribution.

The health state of the oil transformer is evaluated by the age of use and the state of internal defects. Mineral Oil, used as an insulator for oil transformers, creates specific gases and compounds through chemical reactions caused by heat, moisture, and partial discharge inside the transformer. It is possible to determine the aging and defect of the transformer through these gases and compounds. So, it is an important indicator to evaluate the health of a transformer. In this study, factors for assessing the health of transformers were hierarchically categorized, and key factors for each hierarchy were selected for design weighting. These weights were determined through surveys conducted with experts in the fields of transformer design, operation, and quality. For the health of a transformer, defect-related factors are approximately three times more important than factors related to aging. Additionally, defect-related factors showed a higher weighting for gases generated at high temperatures. Furthermore, Furan was determined to have a high weight, directly associated with insulating paper aging. Based on these findings, a health index was proposed, and a comparative analysis was conducted by categorizing 40 operational transformers into normal and comparison groups to evaluate and validate it.

This paper describes the effectiveness of continuous water removal in oil immersed transformers. Insulation oil in which insulation papers were immersed were prepared for tests and water concentrations in oil with heating time were measured at five oil temperatures. Also, the tests that water dissolved in $100^{\circ}C$ oil was removed at once and continuously at $50^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$ were performed for consideration of effective method for water removal. Test results indicated that the oils for water measurement have to be extracted at similar temperatures and water in oil has to be continuously removed at higher temperatures for more effective water management of transformers.

In Modern society, various important systems is operated such as nuclear plant, chemistry industry, railway system and so on. But these systems can cause high risky accidents. Hence, these systems are required to ensure the individual and societal risk criteria. In this paper, we reviewed EU risk criteria which is already operated in UK and Netherlands, then we proposed acceptable risk criteria and estimated risk of oil immersed transformer for subway with FN curve.

In this paper, safety algorithm of transformer is introduced for the sake of MV/LV distribution customers by using fuzzy theory. The current-carrying capacity of transformer is usually determined by the maximum temperature at which the transformer is permitted to operate. Overload of transformer has an effect on transformer utilization rate and maximum temperature rises as well as maximum ambient temperature of insulating materials. Therefore, we proposed the safety algorithm considering the overload of transformer and ambient temperature in this paper. We introduced the correlational equations between each parameters using experimental data of IEEE std C57.91-1995, and deduced the result using fuzzy reasoning. We guessed the safety algorithm making a diagnosis for the safety status of oil-immersed transformer.

Subway is electrified railway system nowadays, in which liquid dielectric transformers have been widely used, though mold type transformers are replacing it. The transformers supplies large electric power and have innate hazards causing accidents under operation. A number of researcher have carried out on failures of it and have oriented to identify transformer's failure causes and how to maintain it healthy state. The transformer failures can cause serious accidents which can provoke economic loss and leads persons to kill. In this paper, we carried out a safety activity to reveal hazards and to estimate risk of subway liquid dielectric transformers using FMEA, HAZOP and What-if methods. In case of installing safety devices in oil immersed transformer, we tried to evaluate an effect on a subsystem's failure rate. We proposed how to design subsystem failure rate and safety device failure rates.
