Sound pressure levels in the receiving room while testing airborne sound insulation performance are varied by the measuring points. This may increase the measurement error, then decrease the measurement reliability. With this reason the research has carried out on the method to reduce deviations of sound pressure level in the ISO type rectangular laboratory focusing on the measurement of airborne sound insulation performance. Tests were made to see the effect of sound absorption in the receiving room, loudspeaker locations, microphones locations and flanking transmission path. Consequently, it was resulted that sound absorption in the receiving room and the loudspeaker location have influence on the sound level deviations especially in the low frequency. The microphone location was very important to get measurement reliability. The effective measuring point, which the sound level difference with average sound pressure level is within 2 dB, could yield most reliable average sound pressure level. Therefore it is necessary to find the effective measuring points in the receiving room. Flanking transmission path should be sealed using sound absorber or magnet etc. to prevent from lowering the sound insulation performance.

Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) is an high energy efficient insulation system that facilitate slim but high insulation performance, based on based on a porous core material evacuated and encapsulated in a multi-barrier envelope. Although VIP has been on the market for decades now, it wasn't until recently that efforts have been initiated to propose a standard on aging testing. One of the issues regarding VIP is its durability and aging due to pressure and moisture dependent increase of the initial low thermal conductivity with time. It is hard to visually determine at an early stage. Recently, a method of analyzing the damage on the a material surface by applying image processing technology has been widely used. These techniques provide fast and accurate data with a non-destructive way. In this study, the surface VIP images were analyzed using the Harris corner detection algorithm. As a result, 171,333 corner points in the normal packaging were detected, whereas 32,895 of the defective packaging, which were less than the normal packaging. were detected. These results are considered to provide meaningful information for the determination of VIP condition.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is main factors (environmental conditions, pattern spacing, pattern material) that effect the ion-migration of PCB. Methods: Recently, the electronic components are becoming more high density of electronic device, so that electronic circuits have smaller pitches between the patten and more vulnerable to insulation failure. so the reliability of electric insulation of device has become an ever important issue as device contact pitches of pattern. Usually, ion-migration occurs in high temperature and high humidity environment as voltage is applied to the circuit. Under high temperature and high humidity, voltage applied electronic components respond to applied voltages by metals's electrochemical ionization and a conducting filament forms between the anode and cathode across a nonmetallic medium. This leads to short-circuit failure of the electronic component. Results: we studied ion-migration that occurs in accordance with the main factors (environmental conditions, pitches, pattern material). The PCB pattern material was made by two different types of material (free solder, OSP) for this research and pitches of pattern is 0.15mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm. PCB was experimented in the environmental conditions (high temperature $120^{\circ}C$, high temperature and high humidity $85^{\circ}C$, 85%RH) and was analyzed for ion-migration through the experiment results. Conclusion: We confirmed that environmental condition, pitches of pattern, pattern material had effect on ion-migration of PCB.

Flow accelerated corrosion(FAC) of carbon steel pipes in nuclear power plants has been known as one of the major degradation mechanisms. It could have bad influence on the plant reliability and safety. Also detection of FAC is a significant cost to the nuclear power plant because of the need to remove and replace insulation. Recently, the interest of the guided wave testing(GWT) has grown because it allows long range inspection without removing insulation of the pipe except at the probe position. If GWT can be applied to detection of FAC damages, it will can significantly reduce the cost for the inspection of the pipes. The objective of this study was to determine the capability of GWT to identify location of FAC damages. In this paper, three kinds of techniques were used to measure the amplitude ratio between the first and the second welds at the elbow area of mock-ups that contain real FAC damages. As a result, optimal inspection technique and minimum detectability to detect FAC damages drew a conclusion.

$SF_6$ 가스로 절연된 GIS(Gas Insulation Switchgears)는 매우 신뢰성이 높은 것으로 평가되어왔다. 그러나 GIS 내부에서 발생하는 결함에 대하여 완전하게 배제시키지 못하고 있으며, 이러한 부분방전 활동에 의한 대부분의 결함들이 GIS의 사고를 이끈다고 알려져 있다[1]. 따라서, GIS 내부에서 발생하는 부분방전 현상의 위치와 측정은 1940년대 초반부터 관심을 가져왔으며, 현재에는 부분방전 형태의 패턴이 사용된 부분방전 검출회로 및 신호의 전파와는 무관하다는 것을 알아낸 시점에 이르렀다. 이에 따라, 본 논문에서는 $SF_6$ 가스가 봉입된 GIS 내부에서 발생하는 부분방전 형태의 패턴인식을 위한 방법으로 NN(Neural Network)의 알고리즘 중 BP(Back-Propagation) 알고리즘을 이용하였다.

Electrical breakdown strength of paper-oil and polypropylene/film-oil insulation samples was measured under dc, ac and pulsating voltages. The latter was obtained by superimposing ac upon dc volate and provides an attractive method for a simultaneous testing and assessment of the state of insulation of the various parts of HV apparatus in service. The measurements were carried out over a wide range of the pulsation ratio defined as p=Eac/Edc. The results obtained under pulsating voltages follow colsely an experssion which relates the breakdown strength to the sum of arc tangent and arc cotangent function of the parameter p. The study was carried out using dry paper as well as paper containing various degrees of moisture. The presence of moisture showed a pronounced effect upon the breakdown strength which varied with the pulsation parameter p.

In this paper, to developing thermally and mechanically upgraded ones, we dismounted pole transformers used in the fields for over 13 years and conducted aged oil analysis. Also, when the cellulose and aramid papers in test cell were aging with oil at $130^{\circ}C$ for 3000 hours, with the testing period cellulose paper deteriorated more rapidly than the others. For example dielectric strength and dissipation factor of papers deteriorated with aging time. For evaluation of thermal aging characteristics, a mineral oil-immersed transformer was constructed with hybrid insulation system comprised of aramid paper and cellulose insulation. A Hybrid system has economic advantages. Cellulose materials are confined to cooler regions of the transformer winding. And aramid papers are served to insulate contact parts of hot conductors.

Partial discharge(PD) testing for different capacitive couplers was performed on a 6.6kV, 448kW pulverizer motor. The motor has been in service for twenty years. PD tests were measured using digital partial discharge detector(DPDD) and partial discharge analyzer(PDA), respectively. PDA is used to in the motor stator insulation, which three 80pF or three 500pF epoxy-mica couplers were installed, one per phase. The 500pF couplers did detect more normalized quantity number(NQN) than the 80pF couplers. DPDD and PDA showed that PD and NQN magnitudes increased with increase of ac voltage. Internal discharge was discovered in the motor stator insulation. DPDD and PDA test results are in accordance with the pattern and magnitude of PD.

Ultrasonic testing are far superior to other nondestructive tests for detecting the disbond interface which occurred in adhesive interface. However, a solid rocket motor consisting of a steel case, rubber insulation, liner, and propellant poses many difficulties for analyzing ultrasonic waves because of the superposition of reflected waves and large differences in acoustic impedance of various materials. Therefore, ultrasonic tests for detecting the disbond interface in solid rocket motor have been applied in very limited areas between the steel case and rubber insulation using an automatic C-scan system. The existing ultrasonic test cannot detect the disbond interface between the liner and propellant of a solid rocket motor because most of the ultrasonic waves are absorbed in the rubber material which has low acoustic impedance. This problem could be overcome by analyzing the resonance frequency from the frequency spectrum using the ultrasonic resonance method. In this paper, a new technique to detect the disbond interface between the liner and propellant using ultrasonic resonance characteristics is discussed in detail.
