Superconductor is developed for applications in high-power devices such as power-transmission cables, transformers, motor and generators. In such applications, HTS tapes are subjected to various kinds of stress or strain. AC loss is also important consideration for many large-scale superconducting devices. In the fabrication of the devices, the critical current $(I_c)$ of the high temperature superconductor degrades due to many reasons including the tension applied by bending and thermal contraction. These bending or tension reduces the $I_c$ of superconducting wire and the $I_c$ degradation affects the AC loss of the wire. The $I_c$ degradation and AC loss (self field loss) of Bi-2223 HTS and Coated conductor were measured under tension and bending conditions at 77K and self-field.

본 논문은 옥외용 고분자 절연물로 널리 사용되고 있는 실리콘 고무의 장기 자외선 가속열화에 따른 특성변화를 조사하였다. 이를 위해 전기적인 평가 방법 이외에 각종 화학적 분석기기를 사용하여 보다 정확히 재료의 열화를 판정하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 실리콘 고무는 내후성이 우수하지만, 가속열화가 진행되면서 표면의 전기적 저항률이 높아지고, 전하축적이 용이해지는 표면구조로 변하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 재료 내에서 발수성 회복역할을 하는 저분자량 성분이 감소하였고, 열적특성이 변화되는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통하여, 최근 확산되고 있는 옥외용 고분자 절연물의 성능평가 및 수명예측에 도움이 되고자 하였다.

To verify the applicability of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) cable system into the real grid, the HTS cable system with the specification of 22.9 kV, 1250 A, 100 m long was installed in the second quarter of 2006, and the long term field test has been in progress at the KEPCO's Gochang power testing yard. Apart from the conventional power cable, HTS cable system requires sufficient thermo-mechanical strength to endure a large temperature difference. To date, the KEPCO HTS cable system was cooled down and warmed to the room temperature several times to investigate the influence of thermal cycles experimentally. Dielectric properties, critical current dependance and heat losses were evaluated at each step of thermal cycle. The test results showed that thermal cycle did not induce the degradation of dielectric properties, and the critical current decreased to 5 % of the initial value.

In this paper, we studied the tracking characteristics of silicone rubbers that differed in the degree of crosslinking. As the tracking method, we adopted ASTM D 2303 and Merry-Go-Round(MGR) test method. It was found that the higher the degree of crosslinking, the better tracking characteristics. In these two test methods, specimens showed similar tendency of performance variation according to the degree of crosslinking. However the degradation phenomena were very different. As for MGR method, only the color of specimens' surface changed without any erosion or tracking path on them. On the contrary, the specimens subjected to ASTM D 2303 test method showed severe erosion.

The outdoor polymeric insulating materials such as silicone rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer(EPDM), ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA) and epoxy are aged by various natural environment with the long-term performance in outdoor. In this paper, the effects of UV-ray on surface of silicone rubber were investigated by using the weather-Ometer. The accelerated aging stresses were simulated by UV radiation. high temperature and humidity as well as water spray. These the aging characteristics were examined through contact angle measurements, tracking resistance test, FT-IR and SEM/EDS analysis. the experimental results showed that tracking resistance decreases with increase in the UV-ray irradiation period. But the surface of silicone rubber kept hydrophobicity. It is found that the inorganic filler such as $Al(OH)_3$ improves tracking resistance and the $TiO_2$ is very effective in preventing degradation of silicone rubber surface from UV-ray.

Charge amplifier systems benefit from the very wide dynamic range of PE accelerometers by offering flexibility in adjusting the electrical output characteristics such as sensitivity and range. They are well suited for operation at high temperatures. Modern charge systems feature improved low noise operation, simplified digital controls, and dual mode operation for operation with charge or IEPE voltage mode sensors. high impedance circuitry is not well suited for operation in adverse field or factory environments. The resolution of a PE accelerometer may not be specified or known since noise is a system consideration determined by cable length and amplifier gain. IEPE accelerometrs operate from a constant current power source, provide a high-voltage, low-impedance, fixed mV/g output. They operate through long, ordinary, coaxial cable in adverse environments without degradation of signal quality. They have limited high temperature range. IEPE sensors are simple to operate. Both resolution and operating range are defined specifications. Cost perchannel is lower compared to PE systems since low-noise cable and charge amplifiers are not required.

In this study, the insulation selected in degra-dated-power cable has been observed and aging process about the insulation has been investigated. Most Insulation aging process initiates in the interface of semiconducting layer and the type of the process is the fractal form that was observed between the the semiconducting layer and insulation layer. It is possible to estimate degree of the degration of cable with breakdown test and obtained data have been used to get parameters in order to use Weibull distribution. With this method it is considered to be possible to estimate situation of degration and life prediction.

In order to prevent the failures of underground distribution power cables we need to measure insulation condition in the field. Until now we used DC high voltage as a power source for the cable diagnosis but it was not proper method to the XLPE insulation cables because DC high voltage can affect sound insulation and can't diagnose exactly insulation degradation. For these reasons we imported isothermal relaxation current measurement system called by KDA-1 from germany but it's reliability did not proved in our URD cables. DC voltage decay measurement system was developed by domestic company but they don't have field experience. In this paper we tried to prove reliability of these two systems in the field. Through the field diagnosis and Ac breakdown test the two systems showed similar results.

The degradation of the dielectric properties of insulating papers that were used under loaded conditions at cryogenic temperature was paid attention. Electrical and tensile stress properties of dielectric paper at cryogenic temperature have been investigated to optimum insulating design of high-Tc superconducting(HTS) cable. Tensile strength of PPLP in liquid nitrogen was high more than that of air, but tensile strain could know that decrease sharply. According as tensile strength increases, the breakdown stress of PPLP in liquid nitrogen was decreased.
