SiOC films were prepared as insulators for displays by sputtering at low temperatures, and the relationship with the electrical properties waaas examined. The electrical properties of SiOC films were affected by the annealing process, and SiOC films annealed at 100oC showed a significant increase in thickness and a decrease in the reflective index. XRD revealed an increase in the degree of the amorphous structure. Moreover, the capacitance and leakage current of the SiOC films annealed at 100oC decreased. These characteristics of SiOC films highlight their potential as ideal insulators. Amorphous SiOC films by the reduction of polarization are dependent on the elongation effect of the bonding lengths in the structure and the thickness. The properties of these SiOC films are suitable for low temperature displays.

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.

In this paper, partial discharges(PDs), lift off and breakdown voltage were measured when metal particles existed in a model GIS coated with epoxy resin on its bottom electrode, and the measured results were analyzed after comparing with the model DIS not coated. In order to presume the various fault case in GIS, we measured the experimental values with changing some experimental factors, such as the mixture ratio of SF$\_$6//N$_2$, the pressure of the gases, the kinds and diameter of the metal particles, and the coating thickness of the epoxy resin. As a result, the PDIV increased with the thickness of the epoxy resin, while the magnitude of PDs decreased at the same condition. The lift off voltages of steel alloy particles were higher than that of copper particles, and increased wit diameter of particles. Futhermore, the lift off voltages in the case of the electrode coated with epoxy resin were higher than that in the case of the uncoated one. In addition, the thicker the thickness of the epoxy resin was, the higher the breakdown voltage were. Thus, it was confirmed that the GIS coated with epoxy resin on its inner surface could be improved in insulation performance.

An active mount is devised in same geometric constraints with a conventional rubber mount. The proposed mount features the piezoelectric actuator which can be used to reduce the vibration at marine vessels or automotive vehicles. As a first step, a passive rubber mount is adopted and its dynamic characteristics are experimentally evaluated. Based on the geometry of the rubber mount, a rubber element for the active mount is manufactured and integrated with two piezostacks in series, in which the piezostack is operated as an inertial type of actuator. A conventional PID controller featured by the simple and easy implementation, is then designed to attenuate the non-resonant high frequency vibration transmitted from the base excitation. Finally, the control performances of a proposed active mount are evaluated in the wide frequency range and compared with those of the conventional rubber mount.

OBC for battery charging of electric vehicles mainly consist of two stages including PFC circuit and isolated DC-DC converter circuit. In general, a non-isolated boost converter is used as the PFC circuit, and a resonant converter capable of ZVS (zero voltage switching) is used as the isolated DC-DC converter. In this paper, we propose an OBC composed of isolated current-fed type PFC circuit and buck DC-DC converter. The proposed OBC is easy to configure the circuit and controller, and can cope with a wide output range. In order to verify the validity of the proposed circuit, a prototype 3.3 ㎾ class prototype was fabricated. As a result, the maximum efficiency and the maximum power factor of 99.2% were confirmed under the operational stability and rated load conditions at the output voltage of 150V ~ 400V.

The main cause of cable accidents is the accelerated deterioration of the cable itself or internal and external electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, moisture intrusion, etc., which reduces insulation performance and causes insulation breakdown, leading to cable accidents. Insulation deterioration can occur even when there is no change in the appearance of the cable, so there is a difficulty in preventing cable accidents due to insulation deterioration. Since cable accidents can occur in areas with poor insulation due to the effects of overvoltage and overcurrent, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze transformers and circuit breakers, and ground faults caused by phase-to-phase imbalance. Ground fault accidents due to insulation breakdown of cables can occur due to defects in the cable itself and poor cable construction, as well as operational influences, arcs during operation of electrical equipment (switchers, circuit breakers, etc.). analysis is needed. This study intends to examine the causes of cable accidents through analysis of cable accidents that occurred in a manufacturing factory.

In order to safely use thermoplastic (TP) cables in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, it is necessary to analyze the life loss rate of the cable due to system fault that may occur during operation through various research and tests. In this paper, we analyzed the insulation life loss rate of TP cable according to the type of faults that may occur during HVDC system operation. Electric power due to fault was applied to the TP cable model, and the life loss rate of the insulator was analyzed by applying the Arrhenius-Inverse Power Model (IPM) based on the analysis results through the 2D finite element method. As a result of the analysis, the life loss rate of the insulator was highly influenced by the electric field strength, and the loss rate was highest inside the insulator when a fault occurred. These results can be used as important characteristics in the early design stage for commercialization of TP cables.

In this paper, the AC breakdown characteristics of pure Ar and $N_2$gas with gas pressure range of 58.8~137.3[kPa] under uniform and non-uniform fields were investigated, and the measured values were compared with those in Ar/$N_2$gas mixtures with pressure varying. Summarizing the experimental results, the breakdown voltages of pure $N_2$gas, under uniform and non-uniform fields, were increased about 4.8 and 1.1 times than those of pure Ar gas, and the AC breakdown voltage increased with the pressure increasing. The breakdown voltages of Ar/$N_2$ gas mixtures were decreased with decreasing the mixture ratio of $N_2$gas. In case of Ar(85%)/$N_2$(15%) and Ar(70%)/$N_2$(30%) gas mixtures comparing to the pure Ar gas, the breakdown voltages under uniform field were increased about 1.5 and 2.1 times, and under non-uniform field were increased about 1.1 and 1.3 times at the pressure of 101.3[kPa]. Also, corona inception voltage of Ar(70%)/$N_2$(30%) gas mixtures under non-uniform field were increased about 1.5 times than those of pure Ar gas.

A new soft switching single stage AC-DC full bridge boost converter with unit input power factor and isolated output i is presented in this paper. Due to the use of a non-dissipative snubber on the primary side, a single stage high-power f factor isolated full bridge boost converter has a significant reduction of switching losses in the main switching devices. The non-dissipative snubber adopted in this study consists of a snubber capacitor Cr, a snubber inductor Cr, a fast r recovery snubber diode Dr' and a commutation diode Dp. This paper presents the complete operating principles, t theoretical analysis and experimental results.

This paper describes the influence of conducting particle in the coaxial cylindrical electrodes under alternating voltage condition investigated using breakdown electric field and electro magnetics simulation method. Simulated particle-location in GIS chamber were the particle on electrode, the particle on enclosure and free moving particle. As results, it was founded that in case of breakdown electric field of the GIS chamber, breakdown electric field of particle on electrode was the lowest, that of free moving particle was middle and that of particle on enclosure was the highest. And in case of the electric field analysis with particle locations, electric field of particle on electrode was the highest, that of lifted particle was middle and that of particle on enclosure was the lowest. This results can offer a practical reference on the insulation design of domestic GIS.
