The purpose of this experiment is to modify diagnosis criterion of isothermal relaxation current(IRC) measurement equipment which is using for distribution cable diagnosis. We're using this system for several years in the field instead of DC leakage current measurement and lots of cables were replaced. But we have to investigate on the reliability of this equipment for our cables because we didn't carried out condition assessment of extracted cables after field diagnosis by this equipment. It is important thing for cable maintenance. If the replacement criterion is improper we can not prevent failures or will waste budget on account of replacement of the sound cables. In this paper we selected field installed cables and injected silicone fluid to the cables for insulation rehabilitation. In order to prove reliability of the diagnosis equipment we compared diagnosis results and AC breakdown strength according to operating time after silicone treatment. This is the results of the field test for 1 year.

This paper describes the fusing time characteristics of Light PVC Sheathed Circular Cord(VCTF) and Tray Frame Retardant(TFR) cables according to increased temperature under over current condition. The experimental equation will be used to determine the validity and reliability of the test results. The over current flowed 3, 5 and 10 times higher than the amount of allowable current using DC power supply with DAQ(Data Acquisition) measurement system. An infrared radiation heater, which was controlled by a variable AC auto transformer, was used to increase the temperature from room temperature to 50, 100 and 150 degrees Celsius. First, two type of cables were analyzed those with different cross-sectional areas with in the same structure and those with different structures with in the same cross-sectional areas. Then, it was determined how fusing time had been influenced according to the cross-sectional areas and different structures, respectively. The cable resistance was increased by joule heating according to increasing temperature. Therefore, the allowable current of cable is decreased. Finally, the fusing time of the cable was decreased due to increased temperatures at current flow, which were 3 times the amount of allowable current. The instantaneous breakdown was observed when current flow was 5 and 10 times over the amount of allowable current. The fusing time is directly affected by the structure of cable insulation.

본 논문은 기존의 지중배전케이블의 준공시험으로 사용되고 있는 DC시험을 대체 하기 위한 초저주파 전원의 적용결과로서, 실험실에서 제작한 5m 길이의 실제 케이블의 칼흠집 결함과 침결함에 대해 초저주파 전원의 결함검출 능력을 평가하였다. 이 시험에서 초저주파 시험은 케이블 절연체 내부에 존재하는 결함부위에서 전기트리 개시는 어렵지만, 일단 전기트리가 개시되면 트리의 진전이 매우 빠르고 내부결함이 검출되지 않는 경우, 시험으로 인한 새로운 결함이 형성되거나 결함이 더 확대되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 초저주파전원은 지중배전선로의 현장시험용으로 적용되기보다는 제조업체의 품질검사 확인용으로 사용하는 것이 효과적이라 판단된다.
