MgO thin films were prepared through electron-beam deposition onto ITO-coated glass substrates in order to measure electrical, dielectric, and microstructural properties. Design of experiments was performed in this study with the aim to understanding of the effects of processing variables, e.g., substrate temperature and filament current of an e-beam evaporator statistically. Leakage currents, relative dielectric constants, and diffraction intensities of MgO thin films were analyzed statistically, following the analysis procedure provided in the design of experiments. The leakage current level of MgO thin films has been found to be statistically significant at the level of $\alpha=0.1$.

The ozone generation is commonly made with silent discharge method using quartz glass dielectric. In this paper, using $Al_2O_3$ dielectric to instead of the traditional quartz glass dielectric to improve the system efficiency is presented. The dielectric was manufactured as tube shape (Internal diameter${\times}$ Outside diameter: $11{\times}15mm$) using 99% $Al_2O_3$ ceramic. The characteristics of dielectric discharge and ozone generation were studied of experiments with variation of discharge power, discharge electrode space and rate of flow for supplied gas ($O_2$/Air). As the experimental results, in the same discharge space, the ozone concentration continuously increased with input power increasing, and ozone yield increased until saturation happened. Also, the expended power increased with discharge space extended due to discharge power increased. In additional, the ozone concentration of oxygen ozone was higher than air that was observed when using oxygen ozone in proposed experiments.

A sub-cooled liquid nitrogen cooling system is known as a most promising method to develop large scale superconducting apparatuses such as superconducting fault current limiters and superconducting cables [1]. Gaseous helium (GHe), gaseous nitrogen ($GN_2$) and sulfur hexafluoride ($SF_6$) are commonly used for designing an high voltage applied superconducting device as an injection gaseous medium [2, 3]. In this paper, the analysis on the dielectric characteristics of GHe, $GN_2$ and $SF_6$ are conducted by designing and manufacturing sphere-to-plane electrode systems. The AC withstand voltage experiments on the various gaseous insulation media are carried out and the results are analyzed by using finite element method (FEM) considering field utilization factors (${\xi}$). It is found that the electric field intensity at sparkover ($E_{MAX}$) of insulation media exponentially decreases according to ${\xi}$ increases. Also, the empirical expressions of the functional relations between $E_{MAX}$ and ${\xi}$ of insulation media are deduced by dielectric experiments and computational analyses. It is expected that the electrical insulation design of applied superconducting devices could be performed by using the deduced empirical formulae without dielectric experiments.

A liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) is usually used to be a coolant and insulant for a HTS coil system. HTS wires for a superconducting apparatus may be surrounded by gaseous nitrogen ($GN_2$) due to film boiling generated by a quench or voids occurred by electrical breakdown. The increased maximum electric field intensity at $GN_2$ may result in the degradation of dielectric strength of a HTS coil system. In this paper, a study on the dielectric characteristics of a composite insulation system composed of $LN_2$ and $GN_2$ is performed. A sphere-to-plane electrode system made with stainless steel is used to perform the experiments under AC and lightning impulse voltage condition. A sphere electrode is surrounded by $GN_2$ and a plane electrode is immersed into $LN_2$ to conduct dielectric experiments with a composite insulation system. The dielectric experiments are performed according to the level of $LN_2$ from the plane electrode to a sphere electrode. It is found that the dielectric characteristics of a composite insulation system are dependent on the level of $LN_2$ and the field utilization factor of an electrode system.

In this paper, the dielectric properties of epoxy composites used for transformers are studied. The dielectric permittivity and loss of specimen are measured at the frequency range of 30[Hz]∼1[MHz] about temperature 20[$^{\circ}C$],100[$^{\circ}C$] and 140[$^{\circ}C$] respectively from a series of experiments. When the filler is added, between epoxy and silica is formed interface. Therefore, observed higher values of dielectric permittivity and loss in filled epoxy are attributed to MWS polarization effect. Also, glass transition temperature was shifted to higher temperature and value of dielectric permittivity and loss were decreased due to 2nd curing. Deformation of interfacial state is improved and value of dielectric permittivity and loss were decreased at low frequency region by the surface treatment of fillers with silane coupling agents.

In this paper, the dielectric properties of epoxy composites used for transformers are studied. The dielectric permittivity and loss of specimen are measured at the temperature range of 20[$^{\circ}C$]~150[$^{\circ}C$] about frequency 30[Hz], 1[kHZ] and 30[kHz] respectively from a series of experiments. Consequently, observed higher values of dielectric permittivity and loss in filled epoxy are attributed to Maxwell-Wagner Polarization effect. Also, glass transition temperature was shifted to higher temperature and value of dielectric permittivity and loss were decreased due to 2nd curing.

In this paper, dielectric slab loaded cylindrical cavity resonator measurement technique is presented to determine the dielectric constant of a dielectric material. The dielectric constant is measured by the resonant frequency deviation of empty and dielectric slab loaded cavity. Characteristic equations are derived by th exact field analysis. The measurement configurations are formed using HP8719A vector network analyzer and an experimental cylindrical metallic cavity with circular cross-section. The validity of the theory is confirmed by experiments and CST MWS 4.0(3D simulator). The results were in the whole satisfactory. The measured dielectric constant of teflon and bakelite are 2.03 and 4.44, respectively.

The electrical insulation design of high voltage superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) should be confirmed to be applied for the stabilization of the power grid. This paper describes numerical analysis and AC dielectric experiments for developing high voltage SFCLs. The electric field distributions between applied high voltage part and ground were calculated by finite element method (FEM) simulation tool and AC criterion of liquid nitrogen at 200 kPa was calculated from correlation between the field utilization factor and FEM simulation results. This paper deals with ceonceptual insulation design of a 154 kV class single-phase no-inductively wound solenoid type SFCL which was focused on gap distance between the cryostat and superconducting coils. Furthermore, the shield ring effect was confirmed to reduce maximum electric field at applied high voltage part.

We reported an AC PDP structure with grooved front panel dielectric layer. The structure exhibits low breakdown voltage, better luminance, and better endurance to crosstalk in high Xe contents. It also shows less luminous efficacy then conventional structure because of the thinner dielectric layer, but we can apply the higher Xe contents to the grooved dielectric structure, which results in the higher luminous efficacy. We made experiments with the Xe contents from 4 to16% and total gas pressure from 400 to 600Torr. The grooved dielectric structure shows the improvement of 20% luminous efficacy and 17% luminance. The firing voltages lower about 40V at 600Torr and Xe 12, 16%. The discharge characteristics of grooved dielectric structure are verified also with 2D simulation.
