An influences of gap clearance, pressure and applied voltage shape on breakdown characteristics are investigated by using a rod-to-plane electrode in $SF_6$ gas. In case of D.C and A.C, a corona stabilization effect increases the breakdown voltage remarkably for lower pressure than 0.2MPa, whereas incase of negative D.C this effect exists independently of gas pressure. This suggests that an insulation optimization in a pratical apparatus is needed to prevent a corona appearance through the removal of local field enhancement.

This paper presents the development technology of standard resistor divider for full lightning impulse voltage. The ability of high voltage bulk power equipment to withstand lighting stroke is usually evaluated by means of full lightning impulse voltage. Lightning impulse voltage test has been essential to evaluate the insulation performance of electrical power apparatus. Recently International standard (IEC 60) on high voltage measurement techniques is being revised and requests a formal traceability of high voltage measurements. Therefore, general interest for this area has grown considerably during last years, and several international intercomparisions have been completed already worldwide, i.e. Europe, Japan, America etc.. In this viewpoint, we have also investigated the standard resistor divider with shield, which satisfies the IEC recommendation.

The paper investigates the insulation properties of the supercritical $CO_2$ ($SCCO_2$) fluid as an insulating medium for electrical apparatuses. The insulating material is crucial for electrical apparatuses and $SF_6$ gas has been widely used for high power electrical apparatuses. There have been many research efforts to develop substituents for $SF_6$ gas because of high global warming potential. We obtained above 350 kV/mm insulation strength with 12.0 MPa $SCCO_2$. The positive and negative IEC standard pulses are applied between two 10 mm diameter spherical electrodes. The insulation strength of $SCCO_2$ is at least 2.5 times higher than that of $CO_2$ gas at 6.0MPa. The insulation strength of $SCCO_2$ fluid is about 10 times higher than that of $SF_6$ at 0.5MPa which is the ordinary operating pressure of electrical switchgears. Using the result, we expect that the time for switching and dielectric recovery could be reduced using $SCCO_2$ fluid as an insulating medium.

This paper presents a high-frequency inverter type high-voltage power supply for X-ray equipments. The high-voltage generator consist of an inverter unit including the SR(Series Resonance) type PSC(Phase-Shifted Control) PWM circuit adopting IGBT as the switching power device and high-voltage unit including the CW(Cockcroft Walton) circuit. When the X-ray equipment is radiographing at large power for a short time, this generator operates through feedback voltage mode control to obtain a high speed leading edge and low ripple. The operating modes and design consideration of the proposed power supply are given. Issues in the design of high-voltage divider for high voltage measuring. Experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the designed power supply for varying load conditions. The proposed apparatus has several advantages, e.g., the fast rising time of tube voltage, accuracy and reduced component size etc.

The detection and measurement of partial discharge activity prevalent in the solid insulating systems of high-voltage generator stator windings has, for many years, been a recognized method of assessing the insulation condition of such systems. Partial discharge activity occurs at sites of degradation within, or at the surface of, stator's insulation systems under high voltage stressing. However, partial discharge pulses suffer from attenuation and distortion when transmitted along windings, because of the complex L-C network between windings. The mode of transmission varies with the signal frequency and is dependant on the geometrical configurations of windings. This paper reports the investigated results of the signal propagation characteristics along the windings when both sinusoidal signals and simulated partial discharge pulses are injected at the various positions of stator windings within the 25 MVA, 11 kV hydro generator. The on-line identification technique of partial discharge location in generator windings is also proposed in this study.

A monitoring apparatus for pulse shapes of human heartbeats has been developed using an amorphous MI(Magnetic Impedance) sensor. The pulse shapes are successfully obtained from voltage signals due to the variations of magnetic impedance in the amorphous MI sensor, which is attached to a patient's wrist. This voltage signal was fed into a signal processing module to extract the pulse shapes of heartbeats. The signal processing module, which is proposed to detect a weak variations of impedance in MI sensor under a noisy measurement environment, consists of a high frequency current source, an amplifier stage and a synchronous detection circuit. To evaluate the characteristics of a newly developed apparatus, various experiments were performed. The experimental results show that the developed apparatus could be used as a diagnosis tool for traditional Korean medicine with further systematic clinical studies.
