In this paper, the effect of magnetic field on corona discharge phenomena was experimentally investigated in the needle-plate electrode geometry. Needle-plate geometry discharge system with magnetic field at a right angle to the electric field was made. The corona discharge characteristics with magnetic field were investigated and compared with the corona characteristics without magnetic field in atmospheric pressure. As a result, in case of positive DC corona discharge with magnetic field, corona discharge zone was significantly wider, corona current was lower, and breakdown voltage was higher than those without magnetic field. However, in case of negative DC corona discharge with magnetic field, corona current was slightly higher and breakdown voltage was lower than those without magnetic field. It is thought that this result is due to cyclotron motion of charged particles such as electron and ion by magnetic field.

Smaller size and higher integration of electronic components make smaller gap between metal conducting layers in electronic package. Under harsh environmental conditions (high temperature/humidity), electronic component respond to applied voltages by electrochemically ionization of metal and metal filament formation, which lead to short failure and this phenomenon is termed electrochemical migration(ECM). In this work, printed circuit board(PCB) is used for determination of ECM characteristics. Copper leads of PCB are soldered by eutectic solder alloys. Insulation breakdown time is measured at $85^{\circ}C,\;85{\%}RH$. CAF is the main mechanism of ECM at PCB. Pb is more susceptible to CAF rather than Sn, which corresponds well to the corrosion resistance of solder materials in aqueous environment. Polarization tests in chloride or chloride-free solutions fur pure metal and eutectic solder alloys are performed to understand ECM characteristics. Lifetime results show well defined log-normal distribution which resulted in biased voltage factor(n=2) by voltage scaling. Details on migration mechanism and lifetime statistics will be presented and discussed.

In this paper, filters are designed to reduce transients overvoltage in inverter fed high-voltage large-capacity induction motor drive system. Design issues for a LCR filter at the inverter output terminals to reduce the dv/dt of the inverter output pulse and a RC filter at the induction motor input terminals to match the characteristic impedance between cable and induction motor are examined in detail. These filters are modeled to be suitable to high-voltage large-capacity induction motor. The performance of the filter is evaluated through simulation using EMTP(ElectroMagnetic Transients Program). We presented filters that used high voltage large-capacity induction Motor on the basis of this. Effect of the filter is analyzed for variation of the cable length. Characteristics of filters are analyzed to reduce harmonic in voltage waveform of induction motor input terminal. The switching surge voltage became the major cause to occur the insulation failure by serious voltage stress in the stator winding of induction motor. Filter for to mitigate transients overvoltage presents a required component in drive system of high-voltage large-capacity induction motor. Also, proposed filters are proved through simulation using EMTP.

This paper is measured partial discharge of low density polyethylene by using acoustic emission measuring method when the electrical tree grow its length in LDPE. Acoustic emission's pulses and its amplitudes of partial discharge are measured by acoustic emission measuring devices. Theorem of skewness are used for breakdown prediction of LDPE. So, it is found that the breakdown of LDPE could be predicted by its skewness's value. There are two kind of specimen of no void and specimen of artificial void, this one's electrical tree grows very faster than that one's.

Internal insulators give rise to partial discharge(PD), which cause local breakdown and even entire insulation breakdown. Treeing due to PD is one of the main causes of breakdown of the insulating materials and reduction of the insulation life. Therefore the necessity for establishing a method to diagnose the aging of insulation materials and to predict the breakdown of insulation has become important. From this viewpoint, we have studied on Electric Field dependence of tree shape in Low Density Polyethylene about treeing phenomena occurring on the high electrical field. As the result, under the reasoning that the growing of tree supposing when the inner part of tree is either dielectrec or conductor has the intermediate characteristics between dielectrec and conductor, theoretically investicated results well according with the experimental results.

본 연구에서는 최대전압 600 KV, 최대전류 88 KA, 펄스 폭 60 ns의 특성을 가지는 고전압 펄스 시스템 '천둥'을 이용하여 방전 챔버에 고전압 펄스를 인가하고 $N_2$와 $SF_6$ 혼합기체 종류와 여러 가지 기체압력에서 전기 트리거를 이용한 방전현상을 전기, 광학적으로 연구하였다. 전극은 구리텅스텐 합금재질의 표준전극을 사용하였고, 전극 간격은 10 mm로 고정하였다. 방전 챔버 압력을 100 torr, 1기압, 2 기압에서 실험을 진행하였고, $N_2$에 대한 $SF_6$의 혼합비율을 0~100%까지 변화시키며 실험을 진행하였다. 전기 트리거 신호가 인가된 펄스 방전 스위치의 방전전압 및 방전 기작원리, 트리거 스위칭 지연시간, 트리거 절연파괴 기작원리, 그리고 이때 생성된 플라스마의 전자 온도 및 밀도에 관한 전기광학 특성 등에 관한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 트리거 펄스가 있을 때의 방전개시전압은 트리거 지연시간 20 us 에서 최소가 되는 특성을 보이며, 이때의 SF6 함량에 따른 최소방전전압과 트리거 펄스가 없을 때의 방전전압을 서로 비교하였다. 이를 통하여 A-K gap 10 mm 조건에서 20 us의 트리거 펄스의 지연시간을 가지는 방전 개시전압은 트리거 펄스가 없을 때 전극 간격이 6 mm에 해당되는 방전개시 전압 값을 가짐을 실험적으로 보였다. 이는 트리거 펄스에 의하여 전극 주위에 쉬스가 형성되며, 이로 인한 전극 간격이 가까워지며, 이와 같은 효과 때문에 방전개시전압은 그만큼 낮아지는 것으로 해석 할 수 있다.

This paper describes the rmtion characteristics of a particle in GIS under AC voltage. To measure the motion characteristics of the particle, a model gas chamber and parallel plain electrodes were designed and manufactured lift-off voltages of wire and spherical particles on the electrode were calculated and rreasured, and electric charge was calculated. By using a high speed carrera, the rmtion characteristics of various particles with aw}ied voltages, such as motion pattern, lift-off time, lift-off height, were analyzed 1be lift-off voltages were greatly affected by diarreters of wire and spherical particles. At voltage around lift-off voltage, the stand-up particle in vertical state rmved up and down between electrodes and the height of the lift-off particle was low. At voltage around breakdown voltage, the particle repeated vertical rotation a few times while they were being lifted off, and then, they were floating between the electrodes.trodes.

This paper proposes a new active common-mode voltage damper circuit that is capable of suppressing a common-mode voltage produced in the PWM VSI-fed induction motor drives. The new active common mode voltage damper is consists of a four-level half-bridge Inverter and a common mode transformer with a blocking capacitor. In order to reduce the common mode voltage and high frequency leakage current the active common mode damper applies to the PWM inverter system the compensated voltage of which the amplitude is the same as the common mode voltage and of which the polarity is opposite to the common mode voltage. Simulated using P-SPICE and experimental results show that common-mode voltage damper makes contributions to reducing a high frequency leakage current and common-mode voltage.

In this paper, the characteristics of breakdown voltage($\textrm{V}_{Brms}$) -temperature(T) for air insulated power installation in flowing air with variation of T(30[$^{\circ}C$] -180[$^{\circ}C$]) are presented. To study these subjects, needle-to-needle gap in the circular pipe(inner diameter 5[cm]) are used. Also, theories of gas discharge and hydrodynamics in pipe were used to analysis for the characteristics. The $\textrm{V}_{Brms}$ is proportional to flow velocity. At high velocity, $\textrm{V}_{Brms}$ is described the saturation. At high T(180[$^{\circ}C$]), $\textrm{V}_{Brms}$ is about 4.7(kV] lower than low T(30[$^{\circ}C$]). The empirical equation obtained from this study is $\textrm{V}_{Brms}=A\times{Log[Re}+B$. Where A, B : Constant.

고온 초전도(HTS) 변압기는 절연수명의 손실 없이 과부하 용량의 증가와 효율의 향상이 가능하여 기존의 변압기와는 달리 구조물의 소형화로 공간 배치가 용이하고 환경 친화적 이어서 전력시스템 운용 전반에 걸쳐 많은 이점을 제공한다. 하지만, 이러한 이점에도 불구하고 AC전압이 인가되었을 때, 교류손실에 의한 심각한 효율의 감소는 불가피하다. 따라서, HTS 변압기뿐만 아니라 고온초전도전력기기들에 대한 DC전압의 적용은 초전도상에서 전기적 저항이 거의 0이라는 큰 이점을 가지고 있기 때문에 초전도 전력기기 시스템에서 최선의 선택으로 여기어지고 있다. 그러므로 DC고온초전도 전력기기들을 개발하기 위해서는 극저온상에서의 DC 절연 특성과 같은 기초연구들이 선행 되어야 한다. 그러나, 지금까지 이 분야에 대한 연구가 많이 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 현재 초전도 전력기기의 대표적인 절연 매질인 Kraft, Kapton(Polymide)와 Nomax(Type 410)을 가지고 권선대 권선의 형상을 모의하여 DC와 AC의 절연파괴 특성의 차이점을 분석하였다. 실험의 결과로부터, 극저온상에서 각각의 절연매질에 따른 DC와 AC의 절연파괴 특성을 확인할 수 있었다.
