Epoxy resin insulator have good electrical properties (high electric strength, high resistivity, low dielectric loss) in addition to high mechanical strength, small dimensions and design versatility. Polymer insulator, however, are subjected to aging processes, caused by the surrounding atmosphere, which may lead to degradation of their properties. This paper describes the results of a important study on the artificial pollution test, Weather-Ometer properties and rotating wheel dip test of high voltage different aging insulators which are the most important factors for outdoor uses. Also, the objects of this paper are to (a)result of insulator under dry(wet) flashover voltage, (b)artificial pollution test of salt spay, (c)Accelerated aging test of Weather-Ometer, (d) wet and dry flashover voltage under rotating wheel dip test.

There have been numerous accelerated aging laboratory tests for evaluating suitability of polymeric materials and devices. Aging test for materials and its full scale device has been conducted. Service experience plays a key role in the utility section of composite insulators. A meaningful and reliable accelerated aging test is needed for evaluating composite insulator. During the service these insulators are subjected to aging stress such as humidity, pollution, and electrical field, and erosion and tracking of the weathershed occurs. This paper presents the criteria of reliability evaluation and evaluation facilities for 22.9 kV suspension composite insulator. We adopt the criteria of reliability evaluation consist of two test methods. One is CEA tracking wheel test for examining the tracking and erosion performance of composite insulator. The other is multi-stress aging test for examining effects of environmental factors such as UV, temperature, humidity, etc on composite insulator.

The polymer insulators which are installed on outdoor have a great advantage than porcelain and 71ass, due to suppression of leakage current, light weight, low cost, etc. It needs variable evaluation methods for application of these insulators on service. The analysis of measuring leakage current is useful for ageing diagnosis because of monitoring in real-time. In this paper, we look over the recovery of hydrophobicity of silicone rubber in mini salt-fog chamber with leakage current monitoring. also, we understand the relation of between hydrophobicity and leakage current and discuss on method of leakage current monitoring.

This paper introduces the data processing method and the measurement of the leakage current flowing through polymer insulators. For ageing diagnosis of polymer insulator, data aquisition system was developed to record the leakage current of insulator being tested. Hence, we have gained information for life time from its leakage current. the DAS is protected against over-voltage which would develop in the event of a flashover of the test sample.

Some polymer materials including epoxy resin are being instead of porcelain for outdoor insulating materials such as insulators bushings cable terminators and surge arrester housing. And the largest problem to be overcomed is the tracking and erosion of the outdoor polymer material brought about by dry band arcing during prolonged exposure to contaminations. In this paper the effect of surface tension wettability flow rate of contaminants with varying surfactant content and frequency of applied voltage on the tracking breakdown of epoxy insulating materials were investigated. As the flow rate of contaminant is increased the surface resistivity is decreased and the leakage current is increased the time to tracking breakdown is decreased. It is found that time to tracking breakdown depends on the surface tension of contaminant that is difference of wettability. And as the frequency of applied voltage is increased time to tracking breakdown decreased.

There is a growing demand for a high voltage silicone rubber composite with high mechanical property and high electrical property. The effect of modified cross-linking agent on the mechanical, electrical properties, and short-circuit test performance of silicone rubber insulators have been investigated. To use base polymer, the various silicone polymers were prepared by the equilibrium polymerization. Aluminum trihydrate surface was treated by vinyl silane. Liquid silicone rubber nanocomposite was prepared from the compounding of VPMPS, HPDMS, catalyst, and alumina trihydrate modified with 1,3,5-trivinyl-l,3,5-trimethylcyclotrisiloxane. The mechanical property and electrical property for insulation materials were measured, indicating the high tensile strength and the good short-circuit property.

The effect of surface treatment of fillers on the mechanical, electrical properties, and tracking performance of silicone rubber insulators have been investigated. For base polymer, $\alpha,\;\omega$) vinyl poly(dimethyl-methylphenyl) siloxane(VPMPS) containing dimethyl siloxane and methylphenyl siloxane was prepared by the equilibrium polymerization. High voltage silicone rubber composites(HVSRC) were prepared from VPMPS, nano-silica, and alumina trihydrate (ATH) modified by various coupling agents. Bound rubber of uncured silicone rubber, cross-linking density of the vulcanizate as well as the mechanical, electrical properties, and tracking performance were measured.

본 연구에서는 polymer gate insulators에 따른 pentacene 유기 박막 트랜지스터 (Organic Thin-Film Transistors)의 전기적 특성을 atom force microscope (AFM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) 그리고 I-V 측정을 이용하여 분석하였다. Pentacene 박막 트랜지스터의 전기적 특성은 pentacene의 증착 조건뿐만 아니라 polymer gate insulator에 따라 크게 영향을 받는다. 따라서 다양한 polymer 기판 위에 온도, 두께 그리고 증착 속도에 따라 pentacene을 증착 하였다. 그리고 증착된 pentacne을 AFM, XRD를 이용하여 pentacene의 구조, 결정화 그리고 grain 크기 등을 분석하였다. 또한 inverted stagger며 구조의 pentacene 박막 트랜지스터 소자를 제작하고 I-V 측정하여 그 결과를 분석하였다.

The surface potential distribution on insulating polymers was measured by scanning of the probe of an electrostatic voltmeter. The measurements were done for two measured by scanning of the probe of an electrostatis voltmeter. The measurements were done for two cases. In the first case, it was measured on the free surface of insulating films which had been inserted between plane electodes after the removal of the upper brass disk electrode. In the second case, we measured the charging region between a circular and its opposing concentric ring electrodes after the removal of dc ramp voltage in air and nitrogen gas.

In order to analyse the degradation mechanism of polymer materials for outdoor condition, FRP laminate was exposed to high temperature and ultraviolet rays. Then, thedegradation process was evaluated by comparing contact angle, surface potential decay, and polarity effect respectively. Especially, the analysis of surface degradation phenomena by corona charging method showed the exact correlation with the result of chemical properties. Therefore we can confirm that the application of corona charging method on the identification of degradation process is very useful. If this method is usedin degradation studies on the polymer surface, it will be more effective on the surface analysis of polymer insulators. With corona charging method and chemical spectrum analysis, it was possible concretely to define degradation process on the polymer surface exposed at the situation of different environmental conditions.
