General transformer's life is known as paper insulation' life. If a transformer is degraded by these aging factors, it is known that electrical, mechanical and chemical characteristics for transformer's oil-paper are changed. When the kraft paper is aged, the cellulose polymer chains break down into shorter lengths. It causes decrease in both tensile strength and degree of polymerization of paper insulation. The paper breakdown is accompanied by an increase in the content of furanic compounds within the dielectric liquid. In this paper it is aimed at analysis on correlation between aging characteristics for insulating diagnosis of thermally aged paper. For investigating the accelerated aging process of oil-paper samples accelerating aging cell was manufactured for estimating variation of paper insulation during 500 hours at $140^{\circ}C$ temperature. To derive the results, it was performed analysis such as tensile strength(TS), depolymerization(DP), dielectric strength(DS), relative permittivity, water content(WC) and furan compound(FC) for aged paper. Also for analyzing correlation between insulating degradation characteristics, we used linear regression method. As as results of linear regression analysis, there was a close correlation between TS and DP. WC, FC. But dielectric strength was a weak correlation with aging time.

This paper investigates insulating effects and strength properties of concrete under cold climate carrying out the experiment with insulating forms on the slab member. According to test results, under $-10^{\circ}C$ of outer temperature, the surface of concrete exposed to outer temperature goes below zero after 10hours since exposed. And, the surface of concrete covered with vinyl and blanket goes below zero after 42hours. However, the surface of concrete covered with insulating materials such as polystyrene foam does not drop below zero until 55hours. And, according to coring sample strength test, compressive strength cured with insulation shows much higher strength than no insulation curing condition and vinyl and blanket curing condition.

In this paper, insulating effects and strength development of concrete placed at mock up model structure are discussed using anti freezing agent and insulating forms. According to test results, concrete containing 8% of anti freezing agent shows lower freezing temperature, earlier setting time and higher strength development than plain concrete. As for the temperature history of mock up structures, when plain concrete is placed at euro form, the temperature drops to -4${\circ}$ before early 24 hours, and when concrete containing anti freeze agent at euro form, it to -3${\circ}$ before early 24 hours. Nevertheless, when concrete containing anti freeze agent is placed at insulating form, it does not go below zero, and the concrete containing anti freeze agent enhances higher strength development.

There exists a interface among the different kinds of materials in the solid insulating ones, which effects on the insulating capability heavily. The insulating construction has been developed for each usages and take themselves into several sorts. The conjunction between CV cables have the electrical weakness of solidity and solid interface, so they were focused at the long distance-line. To this background, it is very important to get the information on the interface influencing on the insulating capability of cable and to observe its procedure. In this paper, the interface was made artificially to research the effect owing to the toughness of interface, which results in the aging and treeing proceeding was observed. The polyethylen, as is generally using for the cable, was taken in this research.

In order to investigate the effect of base oil composition on the electronic insulating oil's performances, an experimental study has been conducted using different oils. Owing to their properties, like lower pour point and gas absorbing, naphthenic base oils are used more often than paraffmic base oils for the electronic insulating oil application. Naphthenic and paraffinic base oils are significantly different in their aromatic hydrocarbon content. In this paper, PXE(para xylyl ethane), LAB(linear alkylbenzene), C13 aromatic hydrocarbon mixture and C17 aromatic hydrocarbon mixture are investigated regarding their influence on insulating oil's performances. According to present study, breakdown voltage decreased with increasing aromatic lydrocarbon content in a deep dewaxed paraffmic base oil. However, any changing in the dissipation factor was not recognizable at small treated level. Furthermore, the volume resistance was not influenced by aromatic hydrocarbon content. The gassing tendency was found as a highly sensible property, changing with treating aromatic hydrocarbons. The higher benzene ring content in the hydrocarbon, the better gassing tendency.

In this paper, the streaming electrification phenomena of insulating oil by metal filters and the charge elimination method were investigated. When BTA and surfactant is molten in insulating oil, BTA appear the prevention of electrification from about 5ppm and surfactant (SP-S10, SP-S30) appear the prevention of electrification from about 20ppm. BTA increase the conductivity of insulating oil but surfactant and antioxidant(DBPC) isn't affect that.

In this paper, it is studied the electrostatic discharge In Insulating oil for the purpose of the technical control of the streaming electrification resulted from the interface between an insulating liquid and a solid. The streaming current increases exponentially with flow rate and In region of lower than 50［$^{\circ}C$］but decreases at higher than the same temperature. The phenomena of electrostatic discharge appear at an interface between measuring tank and insulating oil when the seven sheets of gauzes are inserted in electrification apparatus. And those of partial or surface discharge are shown when eight sheets are inserted.

To enhance the reliability of distribution transformers in service and to reduce the cost of maintaining and replaceing these, the condition and life of those insulating system should be evaluated accurately and the time to replace should be determined economically. Since the transformer failures related to insulation failure indicates that the primary cause is normally mechanical failure of integrity due to loss of mechanical strength as a result of degradation, the tensile strength characteristics of paper during ageing under accelerated conditions in insulating oil and research trends for assessing the life of insulating paper were investigated.

This paper describes the development of capacitive sensor for the diagnosis of liquid dielectrics, which is widely used as the electrical insulating oil of transformer, circuit breaker, cable and etc. To survey the dielectric properties of the virgin and aged electrical insulating oils, we utilized the highly precise measuring system, using the principle of cross capacitance. The measured properties were used to determine the design factors of the sensor. Then the factors were optimized with the help of computational analysis. To evaluate diagnosis by the sensor, we performed accelerated thermal aging test about electrical insulating oils. The condition of aged specimens were investigated by measurements of relative permittivity i.e. capacitance change by capacitive sensor. And to evaluate the hysteresis characteristics with the change of temperature, we constructed a testing system, which was composed with vacuum drying oven, oil chamber and measuring instruments, such as LCR meter, MUX and so forth. Through the results of this investigation, we confirmed the superior characteristics of the newly developed sensor.
