The effect of ribbed spacers having metallic particle attached to the post-type spacer on dielectric breakdown phenomena has been investigated using electric field analysis for imaginary streamer process and a breakdown experiment. It was described that the electric field analysis and the dielectric breakdown test were performed on the case that the particle was attached to the various position of the ribbed spacer having various shapes. As a result, the breakdown voltage of the spacer with two ribs was highest, and it was varied by the length and the thickness of the rib. Especially, in case of the rib with round edge, the breakdown voltage was higher than that with rectangular edge, which complied with the result through the field analysis.

In this study, we discussed the characteristics of breakdown and surface flashover of FRP in L$N_2$ for applying it to spacer of a superconducting power equipment. Fiberglass reinforced plastic(FRP) has high breakdown puncture strength and has high mechanical strength. So the research of its dielectric properties have been conducted in liquid nitrogen($LN_2$). We measured breakdown voltage of FRP and distinguished four types of surface flashover along solid insulator with arrangement of electrodes and measured the surface flashover voltages of each types of electrode arrangement. The type of a electrode set at the back of the insulator showed the worst dielectric property. The property of surface flashover depending on pressure was tested.

In this study, the DC dielectric breakdown of epoxy composites used for PCB material was experimented and then its data were simulated by Weibull distribution equation. The more hardener increased the stronger breakdown strength at low temperature because of cross-linked density by the virtue of ester radical, and the breakdown strength of specimens with filler was lower than it of non-filler specimens because it is believed that the adding filler forms interface and charge is accumulated in it, therefore the molecular motility is raised, the electric field is concentrated, and the acceleration of electron and the growth of electron avalanche are early accomplished. From the analysis of Weibull distribution, it was confirmed that as the allowed breakdown probability was given by 0.1[%], the applied field value needed to be under 21.5[kV/mm].

The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Inverter plays an important role in express locomotive. Especially after traction motors are fed by fast switching inverters, the interturn insulation is destroyed more heavily. However, a new type of polyimide corona resistant film is developed and used in insulation of traction motors. In order to investigate the service life of this kind of traction motor, the mechanism and characteristics of dielectric breakdown of polyimide corona resistant are studied in the paper. Experiments have been carried out on specimen according to the condition of traction motor. The breakdown point of tested sample film is analyzed through energy spectrum analysis and electron microscopic photograph. At last, it is presented that the characteristics and mechanism of breakdown of polyimide corona resistance film.

The main purporse of this paper is to study on the influence of temperature effect on electrical-properties, i.e., dielectric breakdown voltage, dielectric constant and resitivity of homemade insulating oil containing antioxidant. Transformer oil manufactured in Korea is taken for a sample, and this sample is classified into seven samples in which antioxidant is contained and not contained, and antioxidant is divided into three kinds of amount: 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.8%. Changing the tempe5rature of the samples by oil bath, the electric properties measured from the samples are as follows: (1) the variation of either the dielectric breakdown voltage or the resistivity are considerably large, but the dielectric constants are almost unchanging. (2) In view of electrical characteristic, the deterioration rate of the samples containing antioxidant is somewhat lower than that of other samples. (3) Nearly the same value is shown in the dielectric-breakdown voltage of the samples, in which contained the different amount of antioxidant: 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.8%, but the decrease rate of resitivity is lowest, 0.3%, of all. As the result of the experiment, This study can suggest that 0.3% be the optimum amount of antioxidant which will be added transformer oil manufactured in Korea and is useful for the understanding about the electrical properties of transformer oil containing antioxidant.

An inorganic filling agent, ATH (alumina trihydrate) was used to induce inorganic-organic coupling by mixing with stearic acid, acryl silane, vinyl silane as surface treatment agents in order to apply as a high voltage insulating material. Volumetric resistivity was shown to vary with surface treatment agents, and the highest value was obtained in case of the mixture with vinyl silane. The dielectric breakdown intensity was shown to decrease gradually and saturate to a stable value, possibly due to the increase of cross link density in the vinyl radicals introduced to silica surface, resulting in stable dielectric breakdown intensity in the final stages. Tracking and flame retardant properties were also shown to be the best among the samples investigated in this study.

This paper deals with the edge effect in thin insulating films, focusing on their dependence on film thickness. The finding is that the electric field is lowered at the edge as the film thickness is reduced, which, in turn, is closely related to dielectric breakdown voltage. In order to analyze this phenomenon, a simple capacitor model is introduced with which dependence of dielectric breakdown voltage around the electrode edge on the film thickness is explained. Due to analytical difficulty to get the expression of electrical field strength at the edge, an equivalent circuit approach is used to find the voltage expression first and then the electric field expression using it. The relation gets to an agreement with the experimental findings shown in the paper. This outcome may be extended to solve similar problems in multi-layer insulating films.

Ultra-thin gate oxide in MOS devices are subjected to high-field stress during device operation, which degrades the oxide and exentually causes dielectric breakdown. In this paper, we investigate the electrical properties of ultra-thin nitrided oxide (NO) and reoxidized nitrided oxide(ONO) films that are considered to be promising candidates for replacing conventional silicon dioxide film in ULSI level integration. We study vriations of I-V characteristics due to F-N tunneling, and time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) of thin layer NO and ONO depending on nitridation and reoxidation condition, and compare with thermal $SiO_{2}$. From the measurement results, we find that these NO and ONO thin films are strongly depending on its condition and that optimized reoxided nitrided oxides (ONO) films show superior dielectric characteristics, and breakdown-to-change ( $Q_{bd}$ ) performance over the NO films, while maintaining a similar electric field dependence compared to NO layer.

Hygrothermal aging at the elevated temperature induces the long-term degradation of the epoxy resin. We investigated the effects of hydrothermal stress on the dielectric breakdown phenomena of epoxy composite filled with natural zeolite. The cured specimens absorbed the moisture in the autoclave at $120^{\circ}C$. $T_g$ of the deteriorated composite by moisture absorption decreased. The dielectric breakdown strength decreased with the moisture absorption cycle. It was concluded that the thermal stress and the high water-vapour-pressure deteriorated the natural zeolite filled epoxy resin system, consequently and the tree growth rate increased.

In this study, in order to improve the problem that dielectric breakdown strength decrease remarkably at high temperature, simultaneous interpenetrating polymer networks method was Introduced so that epoxy insulating material could have stable temperature characteristics and stable dielectric breakdown characteristics at whole temperature range. So network structure of epoxy/$SiO_2$ composite material was changed by adding MA and MA/PU into epoxy resin. DC voltage is applied into the specimen fabricated by this method, and then the result was compared and investigated.
