Power transformers have a tendency of ultra-high voltage and huge capacity as power demand increases day after day. Therefore, the fault by insulation destruction gives rise to large area of power failure in huge capacity transformers. On-line predictive diagnostics is very important In power transformers because of economic loss and its spreading effect. Hence, this study presents experiments of partial discharge method using ultrasonic sensor in order to confirm the possibility of ultrasonic sensor in power transformers. It carries out the experiments of measuring delay time between ultrasonic sensor and transducer, sensitiities by temperature change of oil and by barriers inside transformers. It is also Included wave analysis by ultrasonic sensor for needle-plate electrode powered on through high-voltage equipments.

Two stator windings for high voltage motor(rated 6.6kV) were manufactured with mica tape/varnish(No. 1). and mica tape(No. 2). Electrical tests included ac current, tan $\delta$ and partial discharge magnitude in these stator windings. Electrical properties showed that No. 1 stator winding was better than that of No. 2. Microstructure properties were conducted using scanning electron microscope(SEM) in the cross section of the straight stator windings. SEM results indicated that the mica tape interface of No. 1 stator winding was larger than that of No. 2 stator winding.

Insulators for high-voltage and large-power should be endured mechanically the weight of mold bushing itself and the force of pushed from contact with circuit breaker and conductor. But dielectric breakdown could be occurred result from the external circumstances and internal factors such as chemical reaction, partial discharge, change of temperature and the relation of temperature-time in process of casting. Therefore, to get rid of external and internal factors of dielectric breakdown. Furthermore, to prevent the internal cracks, void, cavity which resulted from the contraction originated on the interface between copper and epoxy resin, formed semi-conductive layer with partially carbon painted on copper bar. The PD properties and the insulation qualities of epoxy molded insulators were improved by roles of cushions for the direction of diameter and natural sliding effects as like separated from conductor for the direction of length.

This paper describes the method of diagnosing the degradation by void defects of insulator inside in operation. Needle-shape void specimens, made from LDPE, were used to generate an electrical tree under ac voltage. The method uses a neural network system with input signal of AE patterns. AE pattern consists of the pulse count and average amplitude according to the phase angle. After the learning process was over, unknown emission patterns were put into the network. It was shown that the network discriminates the void deflects well. The effectiveness of the neural network system for partial discharge recognition was shown.

High voltage induction motor is the important equipment for ensuring the driving performance of the electric train. PD(partial discharge) is a good indicator for showing the insulation performance of stator coil in HV induction motor. This paper has investigated the characteristics of PD occurrence aspects for both the sound and defective stator coil which consist of maximum PD amplitude(V), total occurrence number, average PD amplitude(V) and PD amplitude(v) - PD occurrence number(n). They were compared with each other depending on applied voltages and reconstructed to $60{\times}60$ matrices of PD amplitude(v)-occurrence phase (${\phi}$)-occurrence number(n) which is the good way to estimate the PD sources in stator coil.

$SF_6$ 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.

The paper considers the relation between on-line monitoring and diagnostics on the one hand and high-voltage (HV) withstand and partial discharge (PD) on-site testing on the other. HV testing supplies the basic data (fingerprints) for diagnostics. In case of warnings by on-line diagnostic systems, off-line withstand and PD testing delivers the best possible information about defects and enables the classification of the risk. Because alternating voltage (AC) is the most important test voltage, the AC generation on site is considered. Frequency tuned resonant (ACRF) test systems are best adapted to on-site conditions. They can be simply combined with PD measuring equipment. The available ACRF test systems and their application to electric power equipment -from cable systems to power transformers - is introduced.

In this work, a novel semi-internal type UHF PD sensor has been proposed and related investigations has been performed in order to detect the partial discharges that could be possibly produced at the insulation system of the gas insulated switchgear(GIS). This sensor was designed to mount on the CT terminal hole of GIS using the spiral antenna theory. Therefore this type sensor can be install on GIS during the power apparatus has been operation and better sensitivity compare to the commercial external type UHF PD sensor.

Thermal and mechanical stresses, caused by repetitive start and stop and load fluctuation during long time operation, on winding stator bars are one of the main causes for electrical degradation of insulating materials. To understand the degradation process, we manufactured bar specimens with the same processes that make generator winding stator bars and the specimens were subjected to various degrees of thermal cycling. Measurements of the insulation properties, such as dissipation factor, tip-up and partial discharge, for un-aged specimens and for specimens aged by thermal cycling at 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 thermal cycles were performed. Finally all specimens were tested to obtain electrical breakdown voltages. In this paper we present the data and electrical degradation analysis results obtained during this program.

Four different buildings having various wall construction are analyzed for the effect of wall mass on the thermal performance and inside building air and wall temperature transient and also for calculating the energy consumption load. This analytical study was motivated by the experimental work of Burch et al. An analytical solution of one-dimensional, linear, partial differential equations is obtained using the Laplace transform method, Bromwich and modified Bromwich contour method. A simple dynamic model using steady state analysis as simplified methods is developed and results of energy consumption loads are compared with results obtained using the analytical solution. Typical Meteorological Year data are processed to yield hourly average monthly values. This study is conducted using weather data from two different locations in Korea: Daegu having severe weather in summer and winter and Jeju having mild weather almost all year round. There is a significant wall mass effect on the thermal performance of a building in mild weather condition. Buildings of heavyweight construction with insulation show the highest comfort level in mild weather condition. A proportional controller provides the higher comfort level in comparison with buildings using on-off controller. The steady state analysis gives an accurate estimate of energy load for all types of construction. Finally, it appears that both mass and wall insulation are important factors in the thermal performance of buildings, but their relative merits should be decided in each building by a strict analysis of the building layout, weather conditions and site condition.
