IGBT inverters have switching rise times of 0.2-2 $\mu$ sec, and have been believed to cause insulation stresses and premature motor failures. Inverter driven induction motors with high speed switching and advanced PWM techniques are widely used for variable speed applications. Recently, the insulation failures of stator winding have attracted many concerns due to high dv/dt of IGBT PWM inverter output. In this paper, the detailed insulation test results of 19 low-voltage induction motors are presented. Different types of insulation techniques are applied to 19 motors. The insulation characteristics are analyzed with partial discharge, discharge inception voltage, and dissipation factor tests. Also, breakdown tests by high voltage pulses are performed, and the corresponding breakdown voltages are obtained.

XLPE is used to insulator for Ultra High Voltage power cable. It is easy to processing also has a good insulating property. The study for diagnosis of lifetime and improvement is proceeding continuously. In this paper, it is investigated partial discharge distribution according to slope of needle electrode 0, 20, $40^{\circ}$. Applied voltage is 0.5 [kV/s] by step form for inception voltage. As the result of study, we conformed that increase of slope led to reduce of discharge number and total discharge quantity.

In order to improve the reliability of high voltage rotating machines, it is necessary to understand the breakdown mechanism of stator windings. Especially partial discharge(PD) inception and growth are important in stator winding insulation. Recently, many research on the diagnosis of stator winding insulation for large rotating machines have been developed since the 1970s. Capacitive couplers have been the most widely used sensor for on-line partial discharge detection in rotating machines. This paper deals with the electrical on-line monitor characteristics of ceramic coupler(CC) which has been developed to continuously measure the PD activity in operating high voltage motor stator windings on site. We investigated the electrical characteristics(PD quantity, breakdown voltage and frequency response) to develop CC. This paper presents frequency characteristics and laboratory test result to compare conventional 80([F] epoxy-mica coupler(EMC) and 105[pF] CC for PD measurement with 6.6㎸ model stator windings.

The faults of the squirrel cage induction motor is grew increasingly complex as the faults resulting in the shorting of a stator winding and the broken rotor bar or cracked rotor end ring, bearing faults, and so on. The users of electrical machines initially relied on simple protections such as over-current, over-voltage, earth-fault, etc. to ensure safe and reliable operation. but this method cause heavy financial losses and the threat of safety therefore it has now become very important to diagnose faults at there very inception. in this paper, we are going to discuss the detection method of broken rotor bar of squirrel cage induction motor by the motor current signal analysis(MCSA) and the opening terminal voltage signal analysis.

This paper describes the surface discharge characteristics which can be used as data to determine the optimumal length in margin which plays an important role in improving the energy density and the life-time of high voltage capacitors. In this experiment, the margin of metalized polypropylene films(MPPFs) is varied in length in order to measure and analyze flashover voltages and partial discharge inception voltages (PDIVS). As a result, the flashover voltage and the PDIV are increased with margin and tracking was observed.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the influence factors of drop formation in electrohydrodynamic atomization. The mode of electrohydrodynamic atomization depended on the various factors such as the flow rate of the liquid, the inner diameter of the nozzle, the distance between the nozzle tip and the ground electrode, the shape of the ground electrode. and the applied high voltage. This work was performed to investigate the experimental analysis for the flow pattern visualization of droplets, and the relationship between voltage application and the behavior of liquid atomization. Uniform drops of different sizes can be obtained at the inception of the spindle mode by charging the flow rate and the electric field. The drop size also decreased when the flow rate was raised for the spindle mode. The whipping motion occurred beyond 7kV and before the corona started to take effect.

This paper is to investigate the tree growth phenomena and the characteristics of $\varepsilon$' and tan$\delta$ for the effect of ultrasonic wave on polymer insulation material. The conclusions are as follows. 1) As the pressure amplitude of ultrasonic wave is larger and its irradiated time is longer, tree inception voltage and its breakdown voltage in specimen are smaller, and tree growing is faster. 2) As the irradiated quantity of ultrasonic wave is more increased, the value of tan$\delta$ is larger, but the value of $\varepsilon$' is almost constant. 3) The effect by the pressure amplitude of ultrasonic wave is greater than that by its irradiated time on the insulation characteristics of polymer material.

Partial discharge measurement is one of the effective diagnostic techniques to predict abnormal high voltage dielectric insulation conditions of the electric equipments. Recently partial discharge diagnostic techniques were also utilized to evaluate the cryogenic dielectric insulation of high temperature superconducting electric equipment in liquid nitrogen. Generally, liquid nitrogen at 77 K is used used as the cryogenic and dielectric media for many high temperature superconducting high voltage applications. When a quench in the superconductor occurs, bubbles are generated which can affect the dielectric properties of the liquid nitrogen. So in order to reduce the bubble formation, subcooled nitrogen was also employed for this purpose. In this work, investigation of partial discharge characteristics of subcooled liquid nitrogen were conducted in order to clarify the retardation of partial discharge initiation voltage according to the different subcooling temperature of liquid nitrogen. And also the relation of partial discharge phenomena and the activities of bubbles were analyzed. It was observed that PD inception voltages shows rather different characteristics according to the decrease of subcooling temperature and the activities of bubbles were strongly influenced by temperature of the subcooled liquid nitrogen.

The occurrence of partial discharge (PD) in solid dielectrics is very harmful because it leads to the deterioration of insulation by electrical, chemical, and thermal reactions as a combined action of the discharged ions bombarding the surface and by the action of chemical compounds that are formed by the discharge. Consequently, if any defects are present in the solid insulation system, performance decreases until the system breaks down. Therefore, removing or suppressing the defect is very important. Voids are a typical defect in the solid insulation system and are very harmful because they deteriorate insulation. As a basic step, studying the properties of PD in voids is important because an accurate knowledge of these properties is required to estimate the deterioration of voids. In this paper, the correlation between the size of voids and internal PD is discussed as a function of the time of the applied voltage and its magnitude. Magnitude, repetition rate, average discharge power, and average discharge current of PD in specimens with large voids were found to be larger than the others in this experiment. The smaller specimens had voids when the magnitude and number of PDs were reduced.
