The pattern which contain the mesa wall has the largest surface leakage current among them. The leakage current due to the mesa wall is predominant source of the leakage current of AlGaN/GaN devices.

In this paper, surface temperatures of ZnO arresters as a function of ambient temperatures and leakage currents were experimentally investigated. The variations of the leakage current was below 10 uA, which comes about $4.5\%$ of the normal leakage current. Temperature differences between the ambient and the surface of arresters were not shown until $150\%$ to the normal leakage current, and were remarkable over $200\%$. From the results, we deduced a couple of polynomials which enables the calculation of the leakage current by the measurement of surface temperature. Tests on used arresters have shown the same results as the experimental one. Also, we expect that an arrester diagnosis is possible by measuring the surface temperature of them after more studies on the effect of wind, moisture penetration, and arrester types.

The purpose of this study is to examine the necessity of 'emergency plumbing equipment for preventing the spread of water leakage'. It reviews social and economic costs when there is spread of water leakage and finds out that those are enormous. Expansion of water leakage causes conflicts between neighbors, economic loss and inconvenience from damages on facilities like elevator and power failure. Next, it examines the inability of existing plumbing equipment when it comes to spread of water leakage. Newly defined 'Surface Leakage' means rapid leak in the surface, and 'Internal Leakage' means seeping out slowly and gradually buried in the pipeline. It will also be analyzed by separating the concept of a leak in the two concepts of a 'Surface Leakage' and 'Internal Leakage'. It proposes emergency plumbing equipment for preventing the spread of water leakage as a solution for the expansion of water leakage. It explains general concepts of emergency plumbing equipment for preventing the spread of water leakage. It will also examine the effectiveness of the user by performing a survey of 420 multi-level building their opinion on the effects of an emergency plumbing equipments to prevent the spread of water leakage.

The electrical properties of Al/TiN/Ti contact are investigated at submicron contacts. The contact resistance and contact leakage current are dependent on metallization, surface dopant concentration, semiconductor surface treatment and contact plug ion implantation. In this paper, the contact resistance and contact leakage current are studied according to surface dopant concentration, semiconductor surface treatment and contact plug ion implantation at 0.8 micron contact. The contact resistance and contact leakage current increases with increasing substrate ion concentration. HF cleaning represents high contact resistance but low contact leakage current while CDE cleaning represents low contact resistance but high contact leakage current. Contact plug ion implantation decreases contact resistance but increases contact leakage current. Specially, RTA represents good electrical properties.

This paper presents the results of spectrum analysis of leakage current waveforms on contaminated polymer insulators under fog conditions. This is a basic study on development of a monitoring for aging degree and surface pollution state using distortion rate(%) of 3rd and 5th harmonics according fundamental frequency[60Hz] under environment conditions. Arcing on the surface was always associated with distortion in the leakage current ; hence the low frequency components of the leakage current can be used as a means to evaluate the surface degradation. The results indicate that the distortion rate by spectrum analysis is available for the monitoring of contamination condition of EPDM Polymer insulators.

The paper presents the results of using the fundamental and the low frequency harmonic components of leakage current to study aging of EPDM insulator for contaminated condition by kaolin. The largeer the leakage current during 200ms, the higher harmonic component at 60hz. The harmonic component at 60hz and the odd order harmonics is increase relation without Kaolin Conent. Arcing on the surface was always associated with distortion in the leakage current; hence the low frequency components of the leakage currnent can be used as a means to evaluate the surface degration. Both the fundamental and 3rd & 5th harmonics increase dry-band activity.

The main problem in porcelain as a high voltage insulator is that the water film is felled on the insulator surface due to rain, flog, and dew. In the presence of contamination. leakage current increases which may lead to flashover that could be followed by an outage of the power system. These days, high voltage polymer outdoer insulators have been studied and widely used, because they have excellent electrical and mechanical properties, superior performance of flashover for contamination. light weight, easy installation or handling. no maintenance during service, competitive price, and so on. First of a1l the excellent performance of the silicone rubber in polluted and wet conditions is attributed to the ability of the material to maintain the hydrophobicity of the surface in the presence of severe contaminants and wet conditions. This is due to a low surface energy of the silicone rubber. But the leakage current and some surface discharge occurs on the surface of insulator when the insulator is used for a long time. So the leakage current and the surface discharge current are important lo estimate the condition of the silicone rubber surface. In this paper, the average leakage current the surface discharge current the surface rubber surface with the salt fog condition for the first stage.

The effect of various drugs on the stability of the liposomal membrane of phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol was studied, employing the fluorescence self-quenching method. Calcein was entrapped into the phospholipid small unilamellar vesicles and the leakage of the fluorescence probe was monitored on adding the drug to the system. The results of the experiments showed that phenothiazine derivatives, some potent local anesthetics and surface active agents were very effective in inducing the leakage of calcein from the liposome. The leakage-inducing activity of these drug substances has been ascribed to their surface activity and the perturbation of the liposomal membrane by these substances. On the other hand drug substance with low surface activity or without amphiphilic moieties did not show any effect or only small effect on the leakage of calcein from the liposomes. The effect of lipid concentration on the stability of the liposomes was also investigated to show that the higher concentrations of lipid more drug was required to induce the leakage. The effect of surface charges of vesicles was also studied, and the results showed that the charge on the liposomes enhanced the stability of the liposomes against the leakage-inducing activity of these drug substances.

This paper presents the results of spectral analysis of leakage current waveforms on contaminated insulators under various fog and environment conditions(salt fog, clean fog, rain) The larger the leakage current during 200ms, the higer the power spectrum at 60Hz. For almost equal maximum current during 200ms, however, the spectrum at 60hz and the odd order harmonics increase emphatically when discharges occur continuously for several half-waves. If contaminated insulators suffers from high salt-density fog, the leakage current occurs with high crest value intermittently, results in the low spectrum. Analysis of leakage current data showed that this electrical activity was characterized by transient arcing behavior contaminants are deposited on the insulator surface during salt fog tests. This provides a path for the leakage current to flow along the surface of the insulator. It is important to have an indication of the pollution accumulation in order to evulate the test performance of a particular insulator. If the drop in surface resistivity is severe enough, then the leakage current may escalate into s service interrupting flashover that degrade power quality.
