The accumulation of salt contamination could be the source of electrical accident. The degree of contamination on outdoor insulator is represented by ESDD(equivalent salt deposit density). The salt is transported by the wind to the outdoor insulator and cleaned by the rain. So, we can estimate the relation between climatic data and ESDD by using the multiple regression method. The results of pre-study presented the high relation coefficient(0.874). But these results couldn't apply to another period So, this paper improves above problem by mathematical process of climatic data The main method is accumulation of passed climatic data and conversion of the rainfall by the wind. Then, we confirmed the increasement of relation coefficient(0.898).

In this paper, we investigate the electrical characteristics of contaminants on highvoltage insulators. We measure the conductivity of polluted water obtained from bottom surface of insulators with wiping method with wiping method, then calculate the equivalent salt deposit density(ESDD) with specific equation. And, through the analysis, ICP/MS, for contaminants, we can know the amount of specific composition which is contained in the washed solution. Based on the analysis result, we investigated the degree of contribution on the electrical characteristics of contaminant solution. Through this investigation, we got some significant result, such as the relationship between the conductivity and solubility.

This paper reports the contamination performance of transmission line porcelain insulators tested under five different contaminant conditions - clean and ESDD (equivalent salt deposit density) level (A, B, C, and D) through measurement of their leakage current under drop of potential method. To estimate the contamination for transmission line porcelain insulators, leakage current waveform and its maximum value were measured under step-up power test. In the clean insulators test, % distortion factors decreased with increasing step-up power, and as the ESDD level increased, some characteristics such as frequency analysis, harmonics and % distortion facotor could be used for contamination diagnosis of the transmission line porcelain insulators.

오손에 의한 송전선로 사고 발생 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 오손시점을 정확히 진단하고 대비하는 것이 필요하다. 송전선로의 오손 정도는 등가염분부착밀도(ESDD) 측정값을 통해 분류하고 있으며, 오손 정도에 따라 철탑과 송전선로 도체의 절연을 담당하는 애자(Insulator)의 수량 설계 및 청소 주기가 결정되어 운영되고 있다. 그러므로 정밀한 측정이 필수적인데, 기존 필세법에 의한 오손 측정방법은 세정 및 측정 방법에 따라 결과 값의 편차가 발생할 요소가 많아 개선이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문은 기존 필세법에 의한 측정 방법을 분석하여 개선 요소를 확인한 후 실험계획법에 따라 분석하여 측정 정밀도를 향상하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

This paper presents on contamination performance of polymeric outdoor insulator with different contaminant accumulation. The ESDD (equivalent salt deposit density), tracking resistance and clean-fog test were performed to investigate the characteristics of contamination performance on polymeric outdoor insulator. Furthermore, we evaluated together with the porcelain samples for its comparison. It is found that ESDD of polymeric and porcelain insulator depends on the installation position. This surface accumulation of contaminant lead to the loss of surface hydrophobicity, expecially upper shed part of polymeric insulator. In addition, the effect of an artificial contaminant on the tracking resistance by inclined-plane method and leakage suppression ability under clean fog was surveyed. The time of tracking failure did not appear to change significantly with a much contaminant accumulation, while leakage current under clean-fog increased.

This paper introduces method to estimate pollutant negative influence to polymer type insulator according to the international standard. To accomplish this goal, effective sample collecting method was surface was collected directly with the same dimension. Distilled Through this method pollute is easily and accurately collected. The second step is pollutant analysis. Several analyze item is selected such as quantity, conductivity, contact angle, Optical Microscope(OM), IR spectrometer(FT-IR), Equivalent Salt Deposit Density(ESDD), Thermal Analyzer(TA) and ICP-AES. The third step, best represent tunnel was selected considering location, length and natural surroundings. Also to consider the difference at inside the tunnel, several bracket insulators were selected along to the location. To make the result precise, above procedure was repeated several times at the same target. Finally relation among type of train, numbers of movement, surroundings, length will be considered in combination with the pollution. With this result pollute map for KORAIL could be accomplished and inspect period will be optimized case by case.

This paper reports the contamination performance of two distribution arresters (new and used ones) tested under three different contaminant conditions - clean fog, ESDD (equivalent salt deposit density) level (A, B, C, and D), and kaolin contamination conditions, and their leakage current, total leakage current, and component of the resistive leakage current were measured in order to diagnose arrester deterioration. The 3rd harmonics was larger than 5th and 7th ones for the arrester under the clean fog, and as the ESDD contamination level was applied, 5th one became relatively larger than 3rd one. Therefore, these results indicated that the resistive leakage current could be used for the diagnosis of the arresters.

To find out the reason of accident by being stained of insulators, this paper researched and analyzed the result of electrical characteristic test and field test of EHV insulator through artificial contaminated method. The best way to evaluate contaminated level of insulator surface is getting a contamination data by regional groups continually. But it is needed a lot of time and manpower. To overcome those difficulties, this research introduced ESDD(equivalent salt deposit density) measurement method which is adapted to the international codes of IEC and compared the relation between experimental test results which contaminated insulators by going through stain procedure and electrical measurement results.

This paper shows the design standard of KEPCO on the contamination design for 345 kV and 154 kV transmission tower. Up to now, because the design standard of KEPCO on the insulation design contains 154 kV transmission system only, we had investigated the 343 kV system for the revision of design standard, with respect to the contamination design, we have used the same design philosophy which were adopted to the 765 kV transmission tower. In order to determine the number of insulator discs, we had investigated the withstand voltage of discs according to the level of ESDD(Equivalent Salt Deposit Density) and kinds of disc types. The TOV(Power Frequency Temporary Overvoltage) were estimated by EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program) for both 154 kV and 345 kV transmission system. The overvoltage level was appeared 1.35 p.u. between phase to ground for both 154 kV and 345 kV transmission system, but finally this factor was not applied to the design standard considering current design standard and economic point of view. With regard to classification of contamination area of 345 kV transmission system, we added the clean area which was not specified in the current design practise.
