The electrical and mechanical properties of dielectric paper and cable at cryogenic temperature have been investigated to optimum insulating design of high-Tc superconducting(HTS) cable. From the results, Tensile strength of PPLP in liquid nitrogen was high more than that of air, but tensile strain could know that decrease sharply. According as tensile strength increases, the breakdown stress of PPLP in liquid nitrogen was decreased because PPLP was degradated. According as bending radius multiple is decrese, breakdown voltage decreased sharply. And bending radius multiple is thought that more than about 25 is suitable.

In order to elucidate the electrical and mechanical properties of insulating paper, it is desirable to study the performances of tensile strength, dielectric constant, dielectric strength. In this work, we constructed the characteristics depending on change of fabrication condition, and these specimens were manufactured by hot press method. As a result, tensile strength was about 75MPa and breakdown was above 5 kV/mm at the minimum value.

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].

Breakdown of solid insulating materials in power equipment could result in undesired outages and replacements, and may be due to an increase in electric stress on the material. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a proper diagnosis of materials before their practical use. In this work, a few inherent properties of different non-cellulosic insulating materials, such as Nomex, Teflon, laminated Nomex, glass bonded mica, epoxy resin bonded mica paper, and epoxy resin bonded fiberglass, have been evaluated by performing non-destructive dielectric diagnostic measurements, and an attempt has been made to correlate these basic parameters to evaluate the breakdown strength (BDS). An equation has been proposed using a basic theory which defines the correlation between the BDS, dielectric constant, dissipation factor, sample thickness, and volume resistivity. The results obtained from the equation are also compared with the experimental values. The suggested equation will be helpful to predict the BDS of any non-cellulosic material without experimentation in the laboratory.

In this study, we have investigated the dielectric breakdown by measuring AC (60Hz) breakdown strength of the fluids in accordance with IEC 156 standard and have compared the results with references. It was found that the dielectric breakdown voltage of pure transformer oil is around 12 [kV] with the gap distance of 1.5mm between electrodes. In case of our transformer oil based magnetic fluids with 0.1% < ${\Phi}$(volume concentration of magnetic particles) <0.6%, the dielectric breakdown voltage shows above 30 [kV], which is 2.5 times higher than that of pure transformer oil. It can be explained by the changed ionization process by adding nanoparticles in pure transformer oil, which is due to trapped fast electrons and slow negative nanoparticles. Moreover, in case of the fluid with applied magnetic field, the dielectric breakdown voltage increases above 40 [kV], which is 3.3 times higher than that of pure transformer oil.

With the intention of investigating the breakdown properties of oil-immersed transformer oils in temperature range of $20\sim100[^{\circ}C]$, we are made researches AC breakdown in the gap of $500\sim2500[{\mu}m]$. The classification for the physical properties of oil for oil-immersed transformer by FTIR and H-NMR experiments was confirmed to type of mineral oils. As the dependance of breakdown properties due to electrode gap length variation, breakdown voltage was found increasing according to the increase of gap, while dielectric strength was decreasing. As a result the characteristics for AC breakdown, It goes to prove that the breakdown voltage was increased to $90[^{\circ}C]$ but decreased over $90[^{\circ}C]$ in the temperature range. Also, breakdown voltage was found increasing in the increase of gap and the rising of temperature according to Weibull distribution.

This paper describes the electrical characteristics of Nomex paper employed as an insulating material for distribution transformers. The relative permittivities (dielectric constants) and tan$\delta$ (dielectric dissipation factors) were measured as dielectric characteristics and the partial discharge inception voltages (PDIVs) and breakdown voltages were also measured as electrical strength characteristics of Nomex paper. As a result, the permittivity and tan $\delta$ of Nomex paper demonstrated both temperature and frequency dependency. Of particular note, the permittivity of 0.18 mm Nomex paper was 2.4 according to the ASTM condition, The PDIVs and breakdown voltages were almost linearly increased with the thickness of Nomex paper. Furthermore, its electrical strength was superior to conventional Kraft paper.

Polyethylene, has long history and is widely used, was researched due to good electrical properties by many authors. But PE under stress has the critical defects of space charge accumulation and tree growth, so various methods such as catalyst, additives and blend to improve these problems have been execute, of which we selected blending method. As in our previous papers we investigated electrical conduction, dielectric and AC dielectric breakdown characteristics, we did DC dielectric breakdown characteristics in this paper. We selected pure LLDPE, pure EVA and LLDPE films mixed with EVA as specimens, which were mixed with the weight percentages of 50, 60, 70 and 80[wt%] to be thin film. DC applying voltage speed was 500[V/sec]. The relation between dielectric breakdown characteristics and the variations of super structure due to mixing was investigated, and especially trap level at amorphous region, threshold energy increment of conductive electron at free volume were considered.

In order to determine what influences the interfacial breakdown between two internal dielectric surfaces. We studied the interfacial breakdown phenomena at several interfacial conditions. With the increase of interfacial pressure, at first breakdown strength in interfaces was increased, and then saturated. Breakdown strength in interface pasted with silicone oil was higher than that with silicone grease. As a function of heat treatment time in a vacuum oven interfacial breakdown strength was increased much in XLPE/EPDM laminates pasted with silicone grease but increased a little in that with silicone oil. As an increase of curing agent in silicone oil and grease, breakdown strength in interfaces was increased and then saturated.
