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.

This paper describes the electrical characteristics of Nomex paper employed as an insulating material of distribution transformers. The relative permittivities(dielectric constants) and $tan{\delta}$(dielectric dissipation factors) were measured as a dielectric characteristic and the partial discharge inception voltages(PDIVs) and breakdown voltages were also measured as an electrical strength characteristic of Nomex paper. As a result, the permittivity and $tan{\delta}$ of Nomex paper showed temperature and frequency dependency. Especially, the permittivity of 0.18mm Nomex paper was 2.4 according to the ASTM condition. And the PDIVs and breakdown voltages were, almost linearly increased with the thickness of Nomex paper and its electrical strength was better than conventional kraft paper.

In this paper, through a series of comparative experiments, effects of two different cure processing methods, cocure and precure, on the mechanical properties of honeycomb core materials for aircraft applications are considered. Mass of moisture accumulated into the closed cells of the sandwich panel specimen from the measured mass of moisture diffused to the full saturation state into the elements(skin, adhesive layer, Nomex honeycomb), consisting the honeycomb sandwich specimen has been calculated. Water reservoir of 70$\^{C}$ was used to have specimens absorb moisture to see the influence of moisture absorbed into sandwich panel on its mechanical properties. For the repair condition holding for 2 hours at 177$\^{C}$(350℉) temperature, a pressure due to the vapor expansion in each cell of the sandwich panel, which may result in the local separation of the interface between laminated skin and the surface of the honeycomb, has been estimated by vapor pressure-temperature relation from the thermodynamic steam table and compared to the pressure from the ideal gas state equation. The bonding strengths of the laminated skins on the flat surface of the Nomex honeycomb have been compared by the flatwise tension test and climbing drum peel test performed at room temperature for dry, wet and wet-repair specimens, respectively.

In this paper we developed Composite-Smart-Structures(CSS) using sandwich structure composed of Glass/Epoxy laminates and Nomex honeycomb and microstrip antenna. Transmission/reflection theory shows that antenna performances can be improved due to multiple reflection by Glass/Epoxy facesheet, and honeycomb is used for air gap between antenna and facesheet. Stacked radiating patches are used for the wideband. Facesheet and honeycomb thicknesses are selected considering both wideband and high gain. Measured electrical performances show that CSS has wide bandwidth over $10\%$ and higher gain by 3.5dBi than initially designed antenna, and no doubt it has excellent mechanical performances by sandwich effect given by composite laminates and honeycomb core. The CSS concept can be extended to give a useful guide for manufacturers of structural body panels as well as antenna designers, promising innovative future communication technology.

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 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. For development of the environmental-friendly pole transformer using vegetable oil, we discussed the insulation construction of the transformer and the dielectric characteristics of the Nomex insulation paper in vegetable oil. Based on the experimental data, the insulation of the transformer is designed.

This paper describes the mechanical and electrical characteristics of insulating paper impregnated with diluted varnish(W-128), according to Korean Standards. The varnish was diluted with a solvent of 6 different wt%. Kraft paper and Nomex paper were impregnated with the diluted varnish in a vacuum condition, and then completely dried. As the mechanical characteristics, the thickness of the completely dried varnish, the drying time and the tensile strength of the specimens were measured, and as the electrical characteristics, the permittivity, the tan $\delta$ and the specific resistance were evaluated as well.

A cryogenic insulation technique for a high voltage and a large current capacity of a conductor are now two big issues in a field of recent R&D projects of superconducting power devices, especially a superconducting power transformer. For the large rated currents of the power transformer, it is well known that lots of 2nd generation superconducting conductor, so called coated conductor, should be stacked together with transpositions in order to get an even distributions of the currents. We had come up with an idea of a CTCC (Continuously Transposed Coated Conductor) as a conductor for a large power superconducting transformer, and keep trying to verify the usefulness of the conductor. As one of the efforts of verifying, we prepared and tested a sample CTCC with insulations for high voltage, which includes the epoxy coating and Nomex$^{(R)}$ wrapping. This paper contains the insulation process and dielectric breakdown test results. We expect the results obtained from this experiment to improve an insulation technique for high voltages in various cryogenic environments[1,2].

This paper deal with the experimental discussion about the impulse and AC dielectric strength of SF6 gas insulated transformer. Test sample is measured the dielectric breakdown voltage about modeling of the first and second section which is the weakest for surge voltage. The AC breakdown voltage is appeared 1.4 times than impulse breakdown voltage, so we can estimate that the impulse breakdown voltage is severe to AC breakdown voltage, and when the impulse is applied, in case of lmm tapping with Nomex paper, the characteristics of dielectric breakdown voltage is same to that in oil immersed transformer when SF6 gas pressure is 2.2kg/$cm^2$G.
