In this paper, insulations characteristics by temperature changes(+30~-40[$^{\circ}C$]) of $SF_6$ gas in the experimental chamber were studied. From this result, The breakdown characteristics classify the gas & liquid coexisted stage of voltage value increases & much deviation and the $V_B$ low stage as the interior of chamber gets filled with mixture of $SF_6$ that are not liquefacted and remain ing air which couldn't be ventilated. In addition the ability of insulation of liquid $SF_6$ was higher than that of the highly pressurized $SF_6$ gas. In this research, we want to provide the base data on designing insulation of high-temperature superconductor and the cryogenic equipments by investigating the insulation characteristics of $SF_6$.

Electrical properties such as surface flashover discharge and discharge degradations of insulating materials for superconducting cable have been investigated. It is found that the surface voltage is proportional to /$\^$0.7/(/: discharge length) in LHe(Liquid Helium). V-t characteristic LHe were a n=5.5 that was less than liquid N$_2$. After applied AC voltage, the surface condition of polymer films were observed non-eroded area and eroded area. The eroded area is depending on the applied voltage. In case of LHe, the crack was observed.

A high-Tc superconducting cable(HTS cable) is expected as an underground power line supplying the electrical power the densely populated city in future. The electrical insulation is very important for develop HTS cable system because it is operated a high voltage and in cryogenic temperature. We manufactured a mini-model cable and measured a tan$\delta$ of cable using schering bridge. The tan$\delta$ of PPLP was lower than that of Tyvek and Kraft at a given temperature, the tan$\delta$ of PPLP was 1.16${\times}$10-3. According to the increase of electric stress the tan$\delta$ increased because partial discharge occurred inside butt gap of mini-model cable. However, the tan$\delta$ decreased by increase of liquid nitrogen pressure. This reason is thought by decrease of part discharge between butt gap by increase of liquid nitrogen pressure.

We experimented on cutting characteristics - cutting force, behavior of cutting temperature, surface roughness, behavior of chips-under low temperature,which generated by liquid nitrogen(77K). The workpieces were freezed to -195 .deg. C and liquid nitrogen was also sprinkled on cutting area in order to increase the efficiency of machining in low temperature. The workpiece was became to -195 .deg. C in 5 minutes. In cooled condition(CC) surface roughness of workpiece was better than normal condition(NC). In addition, we investigated the possibility that surface roughness of workpiece and shear angle can be predicted analyzing cutting condititions by the trained neural network.

According to the increasing power demands for the power transmission of major cities, HTS power cables which have large current capacity and low power loss will be needed. In this paper we have studied breakdown voltage properties of paper/liquid composite insulating system for HTS cable insulation. And we measured the dielectric loss(tan$\delta$) of mini-model cable. From results, the insulation paper-ice composite insulation system is thought to be one of good candidate for the electrical insulating system at cryogenic temperature.

In our newly proposed cryogenic systems for HTS transformer, liquid nitrogen is subcooled by copper sheets extended from coldhead of cryocooler. Since the shape of copper sheets has been given by the shape of HTS windings and electrical restriction, the thickness of copper sheets is the main parameter to determine operating temperature in HTS windings. Temperature distributions between windings and coldhead are investigated by heat transfer analysis, from which the thickness of copper sheets to maintain every part of windings below 66 K is calculated. The effects of the amount of AC loss on the temperature distributions in cooling system are also presented.

The electrical and mechanical properties of dielectric paper and cable at cryogenic temperature have been investigated to optimum insulating design of high-Tc superconducting(HTS) cable. From the results, 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 because PPLP was degradated. According as bending radius multiple is decrese, breakdown voltage decreased sharply. And bending radius multiple is thought that more than about 25 is suitable.

Since cryogens are stored at very low temperatures, the cryogenic storage systems are quite sensitive to heat leaks. Even though the vessel operated under sealed condition with vacuum insulation and reflective coatings are used, the heat leakage into the vessel is still unavoidable. Therefore, this paper concerns with numerical study of self-pressurization used to analysis the optimum design with the variation volume fraction, effect of heat flux and storage pressure of liquid nitrogen. The result shows that as the volume fraction increases, the pressure rise reduces and the relatively at atmosphere pressure is better than the higher one. In addition, higher heat flux leads the pressure rise increases faster than low one. The additional of heat pipe system to reduce the pressure rise rate also has been done. By this comparison, the optimum design for storage umbilical cord blood can be selected.

In this paper the experiments of breakdown characteristics $SF_6$ liquid ($LSF_6$) in model GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) were described. From the experiments results, The ability of $LSF_6$ insulation is higher than high-pressurized $SF_6$ gas. The breakdown characteristics of $LSF_6$ were produced by bubble formed evaporation of $LSF_6$ and bubble caused by high electric emission. It is considered in this paper that the results are fundamental data for electric insulation design of superconductor and cryogenic equipments machinery which will be studied and developed in the future.

Low temperature test for half-wave resonator (HWR) cryomodule is performed at the superfluid helium temperature of 2 K. The effective temperature is defined for non-uniform temperature distribution. Helium leak detection techniques are introduced for cryogenic system. Experimental set up is shown to make the low temperature test for the HWR cryomodule. The cooldown procedure of the HWR cryomodule is shown from room temperature to 2 K. The cryomodules is precooled with liquid nitrogen and then liquid helium is supplied to the helium reservoirs and cavities. The pressure of cavity and chamber are monitored as a function of time. The vacuum pressure of the cryomodule is not increased at 2 K, which shows leak-tight in the superfluid helium environment. Static heat load is also measured for the cryomodule at 2.5 K.
