Epoxy powder is being in use for insulation materials widely. Especially, in cause of coating insulation can be caused electrical fire and explosion by Joul's heat. This study has been compared and examined around breakdown, arc discharge, and V-t about insulation of Epoxy powder. Also, it has been researched about insulation which is cause of electrical fire and its basic data. According to temperature change, sample KS was stable before the Tg to be about $8{\sim}10%$ decrease in the breakdown test. In case of V-t and arc discharge, it had been kept up suitable characteristic. Also, in case of electrical characteristic, sample KS has excellent capacity.

Treeing deterioration which is one of the main cause of breakdown in insulating materials is affected by temperature, applied voltage and frequency. In this study, GN was introduced to improve impact strength of DGEBA/MDA system and the temperature dependence of AC treeing deterioration in this system was investigated. Dielectric breakdown strength decreased with the increment of temperature. As temperature increased, the growth rate of tree Increased.

EMU, Electric Multiple Unit, is very complicated system that consists of thousand parts. If breakdown happens, work that clears cause in most cases work that clears cause in most cases is very complicated and difficult. Also it needs much times and experts of several parts. Maintenance is depending on know-how of the operator and breakdown that happen before happens often repeatedly because information management and public ownership are not achieved properly about analysis and action result. In this paper we present the case-based expert system for EMU which is able to share this know-how knowledge that data-based systemically with another operator.

The propagation characteristics of high power microwave pulse in an air-breakdown environment are examined. The maximum electron density produced by microwave air-breakdown is limited to $10^6cm^{-3}$ by the tail-erosion effect. Inorder to increase the electron density, the scheme using two pulses intersecting at a desired height is considered. Increasing the carrier frequency, it is shown that microwave pulse can be transferred without the serious erosion in the numerical simulation. This result is useful for the above scheme. Also, an experiment is conducted to show the tail-erosion effect and confirm that a rapidly generated lossy plasma can cause spectral breaking and frequency shift of a high-power microwave pulse. The experimental results are presented by comparing the frequency spectrum of an incident pulse with that of the pulse transmitted through a self-induced air-breakdown environment. The experimental results show that the amount of frequency upshift is co-related with the ionization rate, whereas that of frequency downshift is correlated with the energy losses from the pulse in the self-generated plasma.

Internal combustion engine is the main source of environmental pollutants and therefore better technology is required to reduce harmful elements from the exhaust gases all over the world. Especially, harmful elements from the exhaust gases are caused by incomplete combustion of mixture inside the engine cylinder and this abnormal combustion like misfire or partial burning is the direct cause of the air pollution and engine performance degradation. the object of this research is to detect abnormal combustion like misfire and to keep the engine performance in the optimal operating state. Development of a new system therefore could be applied to a real car. To realize this, the spark-plug in a conventional ignition system is used as a misfire detection sensor and breakdown voltage is analyzed. In this research, bias voltage(about 3kV) was applied to the electrodes of spark-plug and breakdown voltage signal is obtained. This breakdown voltage signal is analyzed and found that a combustion phenomena in engine cylinder has close relationship with harmonic coefficient K which was introduced in this research. Newly developed combustion diagnostic method( breakdown voltage signal analysis) from this research can be used for the combustion diagnostic and combustion control system in an real car.

In this paper, a mircrowave breakdown of X-band circular waveguide cavity filter, which occurred during ground test, was introduced, and electro-magnetic field simulation results to identify a root cause, and the analysis of possibility of its occurrence on orbit operation were presented. Filter modeling for simulation was conducted with a commercial tool (FEST3D), and electric fields inside the filter were monitored at the input of 1 W continuous wave. In our observation, strong electric field intensities were monitored on the tuning screws especially at the input of band-edge frequencies. The threshold power levels for the breakdown were also estimated and compared with the input power levels actually injected to the filter. From this estimation, we could figure out that the power exceeding the breakdown threshold was injected to the filter so that strong electric fields were generated and temperature increased high, and this became a root cause of the electrical short. Our further analysis showed that this kind of microwave breakdown is not likely to occur on orbit operation, and multipactor is expected not to occur at the input of band-edge frequencies. As a measure to prevent the microwave breakdown, we suggested to avoid the injection of band-edge frequencies and inject lower power levels to the filter.

케이블의 원가절감을 위해 절연체의 절연두께를 줄이거나 초초고압화가 되어 갈수록 절연성능의 신뢰성 향상이 한층 요구되고 있다. 이를 위해 케이블 및 접속함의 절연체 내에 각종의 결함이 어느 정도 절연성능을 떨어뜨리는지 정량적으로 파악하여 개선할 필요가 있다. 또한 완제품 내 잔족하고 있는 이물의 종류 및 위치를 알 수 있으면 생산공정 내에서 이물 유입 경로를 파악하여 이물이 유입되는 것을 차단할 수 있다. AC내전압 파괴시험을 수행할 때 설계치 보다 저전계에서 파괴될 경우 파괴공을 조사하여 원인을 규명하고자 하지만 국부적인 결함으로 인한 파괴는 결함부를 소실시키기 때문에 파괴공 및 주위의 절연체를 현미경으로 관찰하여도 찾기가 어렵다. 따라서, 전원을 고속으로 차단하여 결함부가 완전히 소손되는 것을 막고 PD발생 위치를 추정하여 결함을 확인하는 방법이 요구 되어진다. 이러한 시험 방법을 전구차단법 이라고 하며, 고도의 PD측정기술과 판정기술이 필요한 종합적인 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 PPD 기술의 핵심인 노이즈 제거 기술과 판별기술을 서술하고 실제 접속함(PMJ)에 적용하여 PPD 기술의 유효함을 증명하였다.

In large generators in power plants, stator winding insulations is exposed to a combination of thermal, electrical, mechanical, environmental stresses in service. These combined stresses cause insulation aging which leads to final insulation breakdown. In order to identify the breakdown mechanism, the stator winding insulation materials which are composed of mica-epoxy is analyzed by the component of materials with EDS, SEM techniques. We concluded that the potassium ions of mica are replaced by hydrogen ions at boundary area of mica-epoxy and/or mica-mica. It is proposed that through these phenomena, the conductive layers of potassium ions enable high voltage fields of multiple stresses to create voids and microcracks.

Wave and following checking cycle arbor in the mountains form that examine various theories that decide checking cycle and data and application possibility that can acquire actually were presented. If see in standpoint that breakdown detects singularity availability before change happening, problem is advanced how action of device may do ordinary times supervision (monitoring) or checking cycle. In checking cycle decision, situation of latency breakdown that can not know that cause breakdown before device that is using examines can exist. Example such as car examination, faur and equitable spirit health examination, security device etc. can be fatal the time. Therefore, study and examined arbor in the mountains room of family proper checking cycle.

Silver nanowire random networks are promising candidates for replacing indium tin oxide (ITO) as transparent and conductive electrodes. They can also be used as transparent heating films with self-cleaning and defogging properties. By virtue of the Joule heating effect, silver nanowire random networks can be heated when voltage bias is applied; however, they are unsuitable for long-term use. In this work, we study the Joule heating of silver nanowire random networks embedded in polymers. Silver nanowire random networks embedded in polymers exhibit breakdown under the application of electric current. Their surface morphological changes indicate that nanoparticle formation may be the main cause of this electrical breakdown. Numerical analyses are used to investigate the temperatures of the silver nanowire and substrate.
