Heating cables, widely used in office buildings, factories, streets and railways, deteriorate in electrical insulation during operation. The insulation deterioration of heating cables leads to electric discharges that can cause electrical fires. With this background, this paper dealt with a condition monitoring technique for heating cables by the analysis of discharge signals to prevent electrical fires. Insulation deterioration was simulated using an arc generator specified in UL1699 under AC operation, and the characteristic and propagation of discharge signals were analyzed on a 100 meter-long heating cable. Discharge signals produced by insulation deterioration were detected as a voltage pulse because they are as small as a few mV and they are attenuated through propagation path. The frequency spectrum of discharge signals mainly existed in the range from 70 kHz to 110 kHz, and the maximum attenuation of the signal was 84.8% at 100 meters away from the discharge point. Based on the experimental results, a monitoring device, which is composed of a high pass filter with the cut-off frequency of 70 kHz, a comparator, a wave shaper and a microprocessor, was designed and fabricated. Also, an algorithm was designed to discriminate the discharge signal in the presence of noise, compared with the pulse repetition period and the number of pulse counts per 100ms. In the experiment, the result showed that the prototype monitoring device could detect and discriminate the discharge signals produced at every discharge point on a heating cable.

유도전동기는 전기차량의 주요 동력원으로 광범위하게 사용되고 있으며, 유도전동기의 속도제어에 펄스변조 방식을 이용한 인버터의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 유도전동기의 인버터 구동시 발생하는 과도전압에 대해 연구하였다. 전원 케이블의 길이에 따른 과도전압의 크기를 측정하였으며, 시간변화율과 운전주파수에 의한 영향을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 케이블의 길이가 길어짐에 따라 과도전압의 최대값이 증가하였으며 50m 케이블에서 과도전압의 크기는 최대 3.3PU까지 측정되었다. 이러한 현상은 진행파의 반사와 투과에 의해 발생하며, 유도전동기의 인버터 구동시 케이블의 길이에 따른 과도전압의 영향을 고려하여 유도전동기의 절연을 설계해야 할 것이다.

This simulated partial discharge caused by 22.9[kV] power cable using XLPE(Peroxide Crosslinkable Polyethylene) insulation having the outside damage. Asone of the insulation diagnostic method a radiated electromagnetic waves were measured by an UHF method using a BiconiLog antenna(EMCO-3142) and a spectrum analyzer used to measure EMl, EMC. From results of this study, It was confirmed that discharge progress were possible to be estimated by the proposed method.

This paper discusses electrical insulation characteristics at cryogenic temperature, especially focusing on partial discharge (PD) inception characteristics, for high temperature superconducting cables. In liquid nitrogen (L$N_2$) / polypropylene (PP) laminated paper composite insulation system, PD inception strength (PDIE) was evaluated in terms of volume effect and V-t characteristics. Different kinds of butt gap condition were applied in the experiments, using parallel plane and coaxial cylindrical cable samples. Experimental results revealed that the volume effect on PDIE could be evaluated by the statistical stressed liquid volume (SSLV) taking account the discharge probability not only in the butt gap but also in the other thin layers between PP laminated papers. Furthermore, the indices n of V-t characteristics at PD inception were estimated to be 80∼110, irrespective of the butt gap condition.

The proposed system was composed of pre-processor which was executing binary/high-pass filtering and post-processor which ranged from statistic data to prediction. In post-processor work, step one was filter process of image, step two was image recognition, and step three was destruction degree/time prediction. After these processing, we could predict image of the last destruction timestamp. This research was produced variation value according to growth of tree pattern. This result showed improved correction, when this research was applied image Processing. Pre-processing step of original image had good result binary work after high pass- filter execution. In the case of using partial discharge of the image, our research could predict the last destruction timestamp. By means of experimental data, this Prediction system was acquired ${\pm}$3.2% error range.

Electrical stress makes insulating materials aged finally resulting in the dielectric failure. It becomes more and more important to recognize the degree of aging and the life time of the insulating materials since it is directly concerned with the reliability of the insulation system. In this paper, the life time of the Cross-linked Polyethylene(XLPE), the insulation layer in the 154kV-grade power cable, is expected and calculated using statistical and mathematical methods. The simulated results are compared with experimental ones and the life exponent of the material is obtained.

XLPE compound have used for insulation of 22.9kV power cable. XLPE insulation is aged for use long time in distribution line. The cause of aging is water tree is happening and growth. Accelerated water tree test method are Accelerated volatge aging method and high frequency aging method. In this paper, high frequency accelerated water tree was performed. And the result was analysed AC breakdown voltage and size and number of water trees.

After Computer-based PD measurement was referred in the 1970's, the new technology and a number of digital system have been studied. And the selection of PD patterns, extraction of relevant information for PD recognition are discussed because the number of pulse as a function of discharge magnitude and discharge pulse as a function of the power frequency cycl4e offer the information of the aging insulation. This paper investigates the discharge phase($\phi$) and magnitude(q), as well as the number of discharge(n) with regard to discharge signals generated in power cable. Therefore, according to properties analysis on the distribution of $\phi$ , q and n, it is able to apply in the aging analysis of power cable which visual observation is impossible and distribution change of discharge signals offers much information for risk degree on aging progress of insulation materials.
