ZnO varistor ceramics which were fabricated with variation of added of $0.5{\sim}1.0mol%\;Co_3O_4$ sintered at $1150^{\circ}C$. In the specimen added $0.7mol%\;Co_3O_4$, sintered density was $6.03g/cm^3$ and electrical peoperties were superior to any other components. The nonlinear coefficient a was 83, and clamping voltage ratio was 1.35. But, endurence surge current in the specimen added $0.5mol%\;Co_3O_4$ was $7000A/cm^2$, and deviation of varistor voltage was ${\Delta}-3.23%$. As P.C.T and T.C.T environment test were succeed in all specimens, and deviation of varistor voltage in the specimen added $0.6mol%\;Co_3O_4$ was ${\Delta}-0.81%$. All specimens showed a good leakage current property in the High Temperature Continuous Load Test for 1000hr, at $85^{\circ}C$, and variation rate of the varistor voltage was ${\Delta}-2%$.

This paper presents experimental results on the application of very low frequency(VLF) voltage to replace conventional DC test as an after laying test for underground distribution cables. We carried out several tests to prove defects detecting ability of VLF test on the 5m length real cables having knife-cut or needle type defects which is made in our La.. Through this experiment we proved it is very difficult to initiate electrical tree from the defects inside of the cable insulation but once the electrical tree is initiated it grows very fast and VLF does not make new defects and expand the defect. Therefore VLF test equipment for quality inspection test of manufacture is more effective than field application for underground distribution cables.

Magnetic properties of electrical steel are, in general. measured by using Epstein frame or single sheet tester (SST). These methods, however, require very strict regulation of a specimen in its size and shape. thus, can not be easily applied to various types of specimen. On the other hand, a ring-test method, which measures only the isotropic properties, can be easily applied to most cases because it requires a toroidal-type specimen of arbitrary size. This method, especially, is considered as an unique available method for a bulk-type specimen. In this paper, a ring-test method is developed, and applied to the measurement of magnetic properties of a bulk-type electrical steel with a toroidal-type specimen. In the measurement, the magnetic properties and iron losses are measured and compared with each other at the both sinusoidal magnetic flux density and sinusoidal magnetic field intensity conditions under 0.2Hz and 60Hz alternating magnetic fields excitation. Through experimental measurements, a sinusoidal magnetic flux density condition is proven appropriate for the measurement of magnetic properties, including iron loss characteristics, of electrical steels.

Persistent current switch (PCS) system in NMR, MRI, MAGLEV and SMES has many advantages, such as uniformity and durability of magnetic field and reducing a thermal loss, which enable many superconducting application to operate effectively. This paper deals with fabrication and test of heater trigger persistent current switch using coated conductor (CC) which has high n-index, critical current independency from external magnetic field and adaptable selectivity of stabilizer. PCS system consists of magnet power supply for energizing current to a magnet, heater, switch and magnet using coated conductor tape. Finite element method (FEM) is used to simulate thermal quench (switching) characteristic and design heater trigger. With FEM simulation, optimal length of heater is calculated by temperature and time analysis. Fabrication of PCS system and test of heater trigger characteristic were performed and compared with simulation result. This paper would be the foundation of researches of superconducting switching application.

Reported here are results of the mechanical and electrical properties of both of intact and thermally degraded epoxy-coated copper busducts that are made by fluidized bed process. To elucidate and compare the properties mentioned above, electrical breakdown by thermal and water aging, v-t characteristic, bending test, impact test and cross cut test are carried out. Although the performance of electrical and mechanical properties are gradually decreased in increasing the severe conditions such as temperature, aging time, and so forth, sample C has a better performance in both mechanical and electrical properties.

Four W/Cu system(60wt%W-40wt%Cu, -0.lwt%Ni, -0.5wt%Ni, -0.lwt%C) and four WC/Cu system(60wt%WC-40wt%Cu, -0.lwt%Ni, -0.5wt%Ni, 0.lwt%C) electrical contacts were prepared by a press-sinter-infiltration process to compare with their properties. Hardness and electrical conductivity are proportional to the refractory metal(W or WC) properties and showed the effect of additives. Arc erosion trend of switch test is changed by current level. High currant test at 1kA showed a different crack formation pattern and erosion mode between W/Cu system and WC/Cu system contacts.

This paper reports the development of test bed with the energy recovering technique using two-step boost converter. The device is utilized for LDC aging test of Hyundai Motor's LPI AVANTE HEV in mass production. The developed power recycle type test bed is designed as 1.5 kW class to test up to the maximum load power of LDC and is also designed to supply scant power supply up to 500 W after power recycle. The theoretical design analysis and operational characteristics analysis results of test bed are reported, and its practicality and reliability are verified through the test result. Also, the finally developed test bed confirms approximately 79~85 % energy saving effect compared to the usual traditional aging test system.

In order to characterize insulation properties of epoxy/micro-silica/nano-silicate composite (EMNC), long-term and short-term AC treeing tests were carried out undr non-uniform electric field generated between needle-plate electrodes. In a long-term test, a 10 kV (60 Hz) electrical field was applied to the specimen positioned between the electrodes with a distance of 2.7 mm in an insulating oil bath at $30^{\circ}C$, and a typical branch type electrical tree was observed in the neat epoxy resin and breakdown took place at 1,042 min after applying the 10 kVelectrical field. Meanwhile, the spherical tree with the tree length of $237{\mu}m$ was seen in EMNC-65-0.3 at 52,380 min (36.4 day) and then the test was stopped because the tree propagation rate was too low. In the short-term test, an electrial field was applied to a 3.5 mm-thick specimen at an increasing voltage rate of 0.5 kV/s until breakdown in insulating oil bath at $30^{\circ}C$ and $130^{\circ}C$, and the data was estimated by Weibull statistical analysis. The electrical insulation breakdown strength for neat epoxy resin was 1,763 kV/mm at $30^{\circ}C$, while that for EMNC-65-0.3 was 2,604 kV/mm, which was a modified value of 47%. As was expected, the breakdown strength decreased at higher test temperatures.

In this study, the evolution of electrical impedance of electric nodes was investigated to determine the setting time of cement paste using the electrical impedance spectroscopy method. The electric nodes were embedded in fresh cement paste and the electrical impedance signatures were continuously monitored. Vicat needle test and semi-adiabatic calorimetry test were also conducted to validate the electrical impedance spectroscopy method. During hydration period of cement paste, the magnitude of conductance gradually increased, and then started to decrease rapidly at a first certain time. After that, the magnitude of conductance gradually decreased at a second certain time. The times of turning point in the curves of magnitude of conductance seem to be related with the setting time by Vicat needle test. Also, the setting times by the electrical impedance spectroscopy method are well posed within the setting period estimated by the semi-adiabatic calorimetry test. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the setting time of cement paste can be effectively monitored through the electrical impedance spectroscopy method.
