This paper describes the breakdown poperties of porcelain and polymer insulators using the UV camera. The experiment was carried out using condition of voltage at the KS C IEC 60060-1(2006). As these results, corona discharge in porcelain insulator was generated the weakness point of insulator union. And the corona discharge of polymer insulator happened in union of power source. Also, we could confirm easily weakness part of these insulators by ultraviolet image through the corona discharge. Besides, in the comparison with the exciting technique of ultrasonic detection, it confirmed that deterioration steps are corrected. These steps are possible to judge the deterioration of power facilities through reliable date. Hereafter, this study as the diagnostic technology suitable for the sites is used.

The automobile equipped with a gasoline engine uses the ignition coil, namely, a high voltage generator, to make the mixed fuel ignited and burned in the combustion chamber, which results in the power to drive the engine. The ignition coil functions to convert a low voltage of the primary into a hiか voltage of the secondary by switching method, which will be transmitted to the electrode. Here, if the ignition coil has a defect even a little, it cannot function well. In this study, it was chosen epoxy molding ignition coil in recently and epoxy resin which is insulation material as specimens, and it was measured the characteristics of the partial discharge occurring to the specimens when those were applied to a voltage, and thereby, it was researched and analyzed the distribution of phase angle, amount and count of discharge due to the changing voltage, And as the result is applying to the actual automobile ignition system, it can be expected the enhancement of the performance of the ignition coil and the reliability of the electrical equipment.

This study examined a fire accident caused by a defect in the vehicle ABS module. A large number of vehicles using the same manufacturer's ABS module in recent fire events showed a tendency to combust due to the same faults. As previously stated in the ABS module which shows the electrical breakdown between the power lines supplied to the constant power source by the battery. The electrical breakdown of the ABS module was caused by defects of the ABS module itself that were influenced by of the external flame. These results highlight the need to determine if there is a deficiency of the ABS module in the investigation of the cause of a fire in a vehicle which is produced by the same manufacturer.

This paper described the measurement technology to analyze the partial discharge characteristics for long term aging of insulations. This system was consisted of high voltage generation and measurement part, PD detection part, digital conversion and signal processing part. We used the VXI system for digital conversion and signal processing part. In the digital conversion part, we studied the error of partial discharge magnitude and memory capacity for reading digital signal with the sampling rate. In the signal processing part, we showed the program algorithm to count pulses and read peak values of partial discharge. The allowable minimum sampling rate of digizer was decided to 250kS/s through analyzing test. We confirmed that this system was very useful in the study of $\phi-q-n$ characteristics of long term PD experiments with specimens being consisted of internal void defects and CIGRE II electrodes.

An ultra wide band ultra-high frequency (UHF) signal processing module was designed for on-line UHF partial discharge (PD) monitoring systems for gas-insulated switchgears (GIS). Major advantage of the unit is an improved PD detection sensitivity through minimizing the effect of surrounding interference signals. The detection sensitivity of the unit was <-60 dBm that is sufficient to detect UHF PD signals as low as 1 pC. Precise detection of PD occurred in the GIS, due to internal defects, is possible by using the signal processing unit.

Thermal performance of a heat sink for an inverter power stack was analyzed in terms of array and installation location of an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT). Thermal flow around the heat sink was calculated with a numerical model that could simulate forced convection. Thermal performance was calculated depending on the array and location of high- and low-power IGBTs considering the maximum temperature of IGBT. The optimum array and installation location were found and causes were analyzed based on results of numerical analysis. For the numerical analysis, experiment design considered the installation location of IGBT, ratio of heat generation rates of high- and low-power IGBTs, and velocity of the inlet air as design variables. Based on numerical results, a correlation that could calculate thermal performance of the heat sink was suggested and the maximum temperature of the IGBT could be predicted depending on the installation method.

After the 1990's, a computer-aided partial discharge(PD) measurement system was referred in part of aging diagnosis using digital signal processing as the new technology has been studied. The PD patterns and relevant information for pattern recognition are discussed in PD research area, because discharge quantity(q), the number of discharge pulse(n) and the applied boltage phase($\varphi$) was combined with the system information of the aging state. This paper investigates the discharge phase and quantity, as well as the number of discharge(n) with regard to discharge signals generated in power cable. therefore, according to characteristic analysis on the distribution of $\varphi$, q and n, it is able to apply in the aging analysis of power cable which visual observation is impossible and distribution change of discharge signals offers much information for risk degree on aging progress of insulation materials.

자동차 태수의 급격한 증가 및 일상생활에 있어서의 자동차 사용할 때간 증대는 곧 개개인의 생 활공간에 대한 자동차의 점유비율이 높아가고 있음을 입증한다. 따라서 거주성, 안락감, 쾌적성 등 종합적 주거환경에 관한 고객의 요구 역시 높은 수준으로 만족되어야 한다. 그러나 연비, 생 산성향상 등 경제적 측면의 요구에 부합하기 위한 자량의 경량화, 소형화 추세는 위에서 언급된 차내 주거환경을 저해하는 여러 가지 난제를 안겨주고 있다. 특히 안락감, 쾌적성의 저해는 가 장 직접적으로 나타나는 문제이며, 이는 차체의 진동입력에 대한 감수성 증대와 진동전달계류의 단서화에 따른 절연능력의 저하에 기인하는 것으로 보인다. 더구나 이와같은 진동문제는 대부분 차내소음을 유발시키며 넓은 주파수범위(홍80-120Hz)에 걸쳐 이들 두가지가 서로 달성되는 경우 가 많기 때문에 대적성의 저해요인으로 가장 크게 주목되고 있다. 자동차 진동 소음의 저감을 위한 노력은 실험적, 이론적 해석방법의 진보에 힘입어 꾸준한 소모로 실현되고 있으며 발생기구, 전달계류, 응답계류을 통틀어 부분적 또는 종체적인 연구가 계속되고 있다. 이와같은 세가지 계류중 전달계류은 발생기구와 응답계류 각각의 특성에 대하여 상호보완적인 역할을 수행해야 하기 때문에 항시 까다로운 요구조건을 안락시키도록 연구되어야 한다. 본고에서는 진동 소음의 전달계류중 가장 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있는 방진고무의 기본적역할 및 이들의 동력학적 측 면에서의 응용원리에 대해 검토하고 최근 급변하는 신기술동향에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

This paper dealt with the radiated electromagnetic wave detection of partial discharge (PD) in oil for insulation diagnostics of oil-immersed transformers. Three types of electrode system were fabricated to simulate the insulation defects that could occur in oil-immersed transformers. Frequency components of radiated electromagnetic wave in oil was measured by broadband bi-conical antennas of 300 MHz~2 GHz and a spectrum analyzer of 9 kHz~3 GHz. Frequency component of electromagnetic waves from PD in oil were highly distributed at 500 MHz. From the result, a narrow-band monopole antenna with the center frequency of 500 MHz was fabricated. We could detect PD signal in insulation oil without an influence of external noise by a measurement system which consists of the prototype monopole antenna, a LNA (Low Noise Amplifier), an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer.

Accident dangerousness of domestic hydro power generators which are operated in Korea is on the increase because of use at the long term. On this, the Off-line diagnosis techniques developed to the On-line by continued domestic technical development since 2000. Especially, On-line insulation diagnosis of domestic hydro power generator is possible by localization of partial electric discharge sensor and On-line insulation diagnosis system. This paper shows the diagnosis result that is applied localized Ceramic Coupler and PDMS-HG(Partial Discharge Monitoring System for Hydro Generator) at four Chung-ju hydro Generator used for 25 years. Particularly, the confidence of insulation diagnosis is improved by using high frequency filter and sampling the partial discharge signals which occur in site. For reviewing the confidence of On-Line insulation diagnosis system, we measured the outside noises and partial discharge signals during practical operation by using the partial discharge diagnosis system of the Full A/D process. And we reviewed the confidence of the On-Line insulation diagnosis system by comparing and analyzing these data.
