The Polarization and Depolarization Current (PDC) measurement is an efficient and effective diagnostic technique based on time domain measurement, for evaluating the high voltage insulation condition. This paper presents a review and comparison results from several published papers on the application of the PDC method to finding the conductivity and moisture content of various types of insulators. For solid insulation, the study was focused on cable insulation, electric machine stator insulation, and paper insulator in transformer insulation with different conditions. For liquid insulation, the review and comparison was done on biodegradable and mineral transformer oils, with fresh oil condition, and aged condition. The results from previous researchers tests were complied, analyzed and discussed, to evaluate the application of the PDC method to monitor the conductivity and moisture of HV equipment insulation systems. From the review results, the PDC technique successfully gives an indication of the conductivity and moisture level of high voltage insulation.

Engineering plastics have excellent electrical properties, mechanical strength and various characteristic which include chemical resistance, environmental resistance, weatherability at a wide temperature range. It has good characteristic(light weight, good productivity) as compare with epoxy or porcelain insulators. However, engineering plastics not suited to outdoor insulator because it isn't hydrophobic. Therefore, to over come these critical problems, we improve the surface insulation characteristics of engineering plastic by coating micro-, nano- size inorganic fillers added to RTV-SIR(Room temperature vulcanized-silicone rubber) at this plastic surface. The effect is analyzed through salt-fog test, tracking test. In conclusion, the engineering plastic coated RTV with micro-$Al_2O_3$20[phr], nano-Al(OH)3 1 ~ 3[phr] improved much better than the others.

When the clamp meter approaches the electric path where current is flowing, leakage current can be measured at a distance from the electric current because the induced current increases as the magnitude of the current increases and approaches nearer to the electric path. Therefore, measurements were carried out from a distance to avoid this effect. In addition, the measured values differ depending on the location of the power line that penetrates the ZCT of the clamp meter, thus measurements were performed at a location where this effect was minimized. The fraction of compliant branch circuits, whose leakage current was lower than 1.00 mA, was found to be 69.0% out of the total of 439 branch circuits, while the percentage of compliant branch circuits having an insulation resistance higher than $0.20M{\Omega}$ was found to be 93.2%. The reason why the percentage of compliant branch circuits with low leakage current was low might be due to the inclusion of capacitive leakage current in the total measured leakage current.

In recent years, increasing electricity use has led to considerable interest in green energy. In order to effectively supply, cut off, and operate an electric power system, many electric power facilities such as gas insulation switch (GIS), cable, and large substation facilities with higher densities are being developed to meet demand. However, because of the increased use of aging electric power facilities, safety problems are emerging. Electromagnetic wave and leakage current detection are mainly used as sensing methods to detect live-line partial discharges. Although electromagnetic sensors are excellent at providing an initial diagnosis and very reliable, it is difficult to precisely determine the fault point, while leakage current sensors require a connection to the ground line and are very vulnerable to line noise. The partial discharge characteristic in particular is accompanied by statistical irregularity, and it has been reported that proper statistical processing of data is very important. Therefore, in this paper, we present the results of analyzing ${\Phi}-q-n$ cluster distributions of partial discharge characteristics by using K-means clustering to develop an expert partial discharge diagnosis system generated in a GIS facility.

Oil-impregnated paper is a major type of insulation used in oil-filled converter transformers for both traditional and new energy systems. This paper presents and analyzes the results of the experiment conducted on the electrical aging of oil-impregnated paper under AC-DC combined voltages using the pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) technique. The formation and dynamics of space charge affected the performance of insulation material. The electrical aged oil-paper insulation was obtained through electrical aged experiments under the voltages. Based on the PEA technique, measurements were carried out when the oil-paper insulation system was subjected to different stressing and aging times. The space charge dynamics in the bulk of the oil-paper insulation system with different aging times were measured and analyzed. Characteristic parameters such as the total charge injection amount, the total charges of fast moving and slow moving, and the distortion factor of electric field were calculated and discussed. Results show that the longer electrical aging time, the more charges trapped in the bulk of aging sample. It leads to larger distortion factor of electric field in the bulk of aging samples and accelerate degradation of oil-paper insulation under AC-DC combined voltages.

Some insulating materials are organized and analyzed with variables to obtain the optimized profile of encapsulated three phase of epoxy barrier which is applied to gas compartment and supporting conductors for high voltage GIS (gas insulated switchgear). The high voltage GIS is used in electrical power system and operating reliability. In this paper, optimization possibility of barrier shape including both electrical insulation performance and mechanical strength, premised on that condition minimizing volume and light weight should be kept for high voltage GIS, could be achieved by analysis simulation. As a result, filling material which is lower permittivity such as $SiO_2$ instead of $Al_2O_3$ properly to the epoxy material, can be improved to increase the electrical insulation performance and mechanical strength for an optimized profile barrier of a high voltage GIS.

In this paper, we studied on the thermal conductivity and a mechanical property of the elastic epoxy. According to industrial development, insulation materials have various properties. They are solid, liquid, gas state, there are various type. Epoxy, a kind of insulation material, demand of not only high hardness but also elastic property. When the electric current flows into the conductor and the place where the heat occurs, this heat becomes the cause which shortens the life of the electrical appliance. Therefore, for the heat occurred transmit quickly, thermal conductivity of the insulation material is highly demanded. We studied on the thermal conductivity of elastic epoxy on the high voltage. In this result, thermal conductivity confirmed that it followed thermal property of mixed epoxy and addictives. Hardness is decreased when addictives increased.

To investigate the partial discharge and electric field distribution in cable joint parts, we measured the partial discharge and electric field in specimen. The specimens which cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE) and ethylene propylene diene ethylene(EPDM) are used to insulating material for underground cable md cable jointing parts. The polymers are used to insulating material in switchgear which is a kind of transformer equipment and in ultra-high voltage cable. Its using is increasing gradually, the electrical insulation properties are not only excellent but also mechanical property is excellent. And because it is possible to be made void of several type in insulator while it is produced, which the electrical field distribution is changed by void, it has a critical influence to insulator performance. The underground cable is connecting by the jointing material, insulating breakdown and the electric ageing which are caused by several mixing impurity and the damage of cable insulator layer, which reduced the life of cable while intermediate joint kit is connected. Therefore, the computer simulation is used to estimating insulator performance, XLPE is used to the insulating material of ultra-high voltage cable and EPDM is used to insulator layer in joint material kit, and which are produced as specimen. And it is analyzed the electric field concentrating distribution and partial discharge by modeling of computer simulation in void and cable joint kit.

산업사회의 발달과 더불어 신뢰성 높은 양질의 전기에너지와 운전 및 보수의 간편화, 계통 운용의 신뢰성, 안전성 확보가 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 각종 전력설비에서 SF6을 대체하여 사용되고 있는 친환경절연제 $N_2-O_2$ 혼합가스 고체 절연물의 절연파괴특성과 고체절연재로 사용되고 있는 테프론의 연면절연특성을 압력에 따른 특성을 확인하였다. 대기와 비슷한 성분비 일 때 상대적으로 절연파괴특성이 테프론의 연면절연특성이 안정화되며, Paschen 법칙에 의해 평등전계에 가까운 전극중의 기체의 절연파괴전압은 압력에 비례하여 높아지고 있음을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 연면절연파괴전압은 압력에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였으며, 혼합가스의 $O_2$ 가스 혼합비에 따라 절연파괴전압의 차이가 발생하였다. 이는 $O_2$ 가스의 전기적 부성기체의 영향과 분자 간 충돌거리에 의해 연면절연파괴전압이 달라졌고, 본 연구에서 분자 간 충돌거리의 영향이 더 크게 작용하였다. 연면절연특성에 따른 테프론에 적용 가능한 절연파괴전압 관계식을 산출하였다. 이러한 결과는 전력설비의 절연설계 시 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.
