In this paper, we present results of the dielectric breakdown test in various 6.9kV power cables used in power plants. The dielectric strength of the different conditioned cables was measured by placing the sliced cable sections in silicone oil bath with needle electrode. The results were analyzed by the Weibull distribution. The shape and scale parameters of the Weibull distribution for each cable sections under test were calculated and evaluated. Collected data base was applied to deterioration trend analysis and lifetime guide was also proposed.

Recently, epoxy based nano-composites are being increasingly investigated for their electrical properties, since the introduction of nano fillers demonstrate several advantages in their properties when compared with the similar properties obtained for epoxy systems with micrometer sized fillers. We calculated scale and shape parameter using dielectric strength. In this paper, it is investigated that the allowable' breakdown probability of specimens is stable at some value using Weibull statistics. Therefore we found that breakdown probability of specimens is stable until 20 [%].

In this paper, we investigated physical properties and electrical characteristics of the fluorocarbon that used as coolants for large power gas-insulated transformer. Volume resistivity of the fluorocarbon was .rho.=1.87*10$^{15}$ [.ohm.cm] at 1 atm, 27.deg. C. Dielectric constant was 1.86 and decreases as temperature increase. The breakdown voltage at 1 atm was higher than that of transformer oil. The breakdown voltage of fluorocarbon vapor was about 18kV when pressure in a test chamber increases over lkg/cm$^{2}$. When fluorocarbon was mixed with SF$_{6}$ gas, breakdown voltage of the mixed was higher than that of fluorocarbon. Then fluorocarbon leads to increase over 4kg/cm$^{2}$ in pressure as temperature increase. Therefore, when a gas-insulated transformer is manufactured, the design must be taken into consideration a high-pressure.

The relation between crystallinity and thermal history in low density polyethylene thin films and their effect on electric conduction phenomena and dielectric breakdown was studied. The low density polythylene thin films obtained by the solution growth method heat-treated at 140[$^{\circ}C$] for 2 h and subsequently cooling to various ways. The degree of crystallinity was estimated by the X-ray diffraction measurement for the specimen of slowly cooling, ICE quenching and liquid nitrogen quenching. The result shows that the crystallinity decreases become faster as the cooling speed increased, and that conduction phenomenon is governed by the space charge limited current in high field. It was found that the dielectric breakdown field increases with an increase in cooling speed and test number in self-healing breakdown method.

In recent years, environmental concerns have been raised on the use of poorly biodegradable fluids in electrical apparatus in regions where spills from leaks and equipment failure could contaminate the surroundings. The newly invented vegetable insulating oil is highly biodegradable and have negligible impact on the environment, human health and the ecosystem. For development of the environmental-friendly pole transformer using vegetable insulating oil, the dielectric constructions of the pole transformer were discussed in this paper. Depending on the dielectric constructions, the AC breakdown characteristics of the Nomex insulating papers and the vegetable insulating oil were studied by simulated electrode systems. Based on the experimental results, the maximum design stress($E_{max}$) for insulation design of the environmental-friendly pole transformer were suggested.

In recent years, environmental concerns have been raised on the use of poorly biodegradable fluids in electrical apparatus in regions where spills from leaks and equipment failure could contaminate the surroundings. The vegetable insulation oils are highly biodegradable, have negligible effect on the environment, human health and ecosystem. Therefore, to assure their safe use in electrical power systems, it may require some processing and modification to improve some of their physical, chemical, thermal and electrical properties. This paper provides a comparative results of the electrical breakdown properties of several vegetable insulation oils and mineral oil to use as dielectric fluid in environmental-friendly pole transformer. Also, the electrical breakdown property of the Nomex and kraft insulation papers in vegetable insulation oil is examined.

In this Paper, we investigate the electrical properties of ultra-thin(70${\AA}$) nitrided(NO) and reoxidized nitrided oxide(ONO) film that ale considered to be premising candidates for replacing conventional silicon dioxide film in ULSI level integration. we studied I$\sub$g/-V$\sub$g/ characteristics to know the effect of nitridation and reoxidation on the current conduction, leakage current time-dependent dielectric breakdown(TDDB) to evaluate charge-to-breakdown(Q$\sub$bd/), and the effect of stress temperature(25, 50, 75, 100$^{\circ}C$) and compared to those with thermal gate oxide(SiO$_2$) of identical thickness. From the measurement results, we find that reoxidized nitrided oxide(ONO) film shows superior dielectric characteristics, leakage current, and breakdown-to-charge(Qbd) performance over the NO film, while maintaining a similar electric field dependence compared to NO layer. Besides, ONO film has strong resistance against variation in temperature.

In order to the investigate for the DC(forward-reverse) breakdown properties of gate oxide in MOSFET, we are manufactured the specimen as following. The resistivity is 1.2($\Omega$ $.$ cm), 1.5($\Omega$ $.$ cm) and 1.8($\Omega$ $.$ cm) when thickness is 600(${\AA}$), and the diffusion time is both 110[min] and 150[min] when thickness is 600[${\AA}$]. In DC dielectric strength due to the each resistivity, it is confirmed that almost of the leakage current and breakdown current is flowed through n+ source when positive bias is applied, but is flowed through P region when negative bias is applied. It is thought that the dielectric strength due to the diffusion time is the contribution as increasing of p region.

The thermal oxidation recipe has been optimized for very thin (12 nm) capacitor oxide for Mega bit DRAM. The time dependent dielectric breakdown characteristics show that the breakdown voltage and time to breakdown are very high and uniform, indication that our oxide is defect free and suitable for DRAM capacitor dielectric. To our knowledge this is the best oxide quality obtained up tp now around 10 nm.

This paper describes the dielectric characteristics of $SF_6$ gas in non-uniform electric filed under lightning under lightning impulse and oscillating impulse voltages. The breakdown voltage-time characteristics and the breakdown voltage-pressure characteristics are measured over a pressure range extending from 0.1 to 0.5 [MPa] fur the coaxial electrode with a needle protrusion. The curvature radius of needle protrusion is 0.3[mm]. Also, the growth of the predischarge is simultaneously observed. As a result the polarity effect is pronounced, and the breakdowns voltage under the oscillating impulse voltage are higher than those under the lightning impulse voltage. It is found that the breakdown mechanism md predischarge phenomena ate closely related with the polarity and waveforms of the testing voltage.
