A Cut Out Switch (COS) is used for line protection and pole transformer protection in power systems. The COS used to protect the pole transformer is installed on the power side of the pole transformer to protect the electric equipment from fault currents. The COS is composed largely of a body and a fuse holder, and when the fault current is energized, the element of the fuse link in the fuse holder is melted to block the fault current. The arc generated when the COS fuse link is blown causes fire and noise, causing discomfort to residents in the surrounding area, and the arc flame can cause secondary damage to the peripheral device. In this study, a current-limiting COS fuse with improved overcurrent blocking performance rather than explosion type was developed to solve the arc and noise problems during COS operation. The overcurrent breaking performance of the current-limiting COS improves the reliability by developing a striker and COS fuse bracket. In addition, this study aimed to verify the performance of the developed current-limiting COS fuse through a test at an authorized institution.

Capacitor switching is essential for the economic operation and proper voltage control of KOREA electric utility distribution system. Voltage transients produced by capacitor switching (around 2.0 per unit at substation and 2.5 or less per unit at customer site, and lasting less then 1[ms]) do not have the magnitude or duration to interfere with the operation of computers, but they do disrupt the operation of adjustable speed drivers. The result of our research, ASD manufacturers should learn from the computer industry and design products that will operate satisfactory In the electrical envelopment in which they will be placed. In this case history, the inductors on the input to ADSs in order to prevent nuisance tripping from capacitor switching(and other causes within the apartment) proved to be an effective, low-cost solution.

The ELCB(: Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker) is the only way being used to prevent accidents from happening caused by electrical disaster. However, the existing ELCB has a limit to prevent damages to life and property due to a electric fire and a human body electric shock caused by the resistive leakage current, because of detecting the total leakage current in the block range of 15mA~30mA. It also has problems such as reduced productivity and reliability due to malfunctions by capacitive leakage currents. In this study, we have implemented the algorithm for the resistive leakage current detection technique and developed the resistive leakage current detection module based on a MSP430 processor, 16bit signal processor and this module can be operated in a desired block threshold within 0.03 seconds as specified in KS C 4613.

Feeding traction loads from the public power system may lead to some current and voltage unbalance and consequently affects the operation of its energy-supply system and other equipment connected with it. This paper introduces an analysis of the current unbalance caused by the demands of an electric railway on a public power system. And the results with compensator and without compensator are simulated, and eventually the formula about the current unbalance is suggested. The Scott-connected transformer is adopted in Korea National Railway System. So Scott-connected transformer among the various transformer connection schemes is analyzed in this paper. Also, the formulas about the unbalance and compensating current can be derived by using two parameters(M-phase and T-phase current) of secondary Scott-connected transformer. So, the practical and accurate simulation can be done through dynamic models by using scheduling of traction.

It is very important for power stability to suppress the excessive fault current happened frequently in the real power grid The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is one of the most effective ways to reduce the fault current among the facilities developed so far. In this paper, we have investigated the operating characteristics of the power grid with the SFCL according to three types such as the single, double and triple line-to-ground faults. In addition, we analyzed the consumption power of the superconducting units based on the working data of the SFCL. We confirmed that the fault current could be limited lower than its peak value to 85 percentage in initial fault condition and to 85 percentage after one cycle in the matrix-type SFCL. The consumption powers of the superconducting units were almost equal by reduction of the difference of the critical current between superconducting units element.

진공인터럽터는 진공차단기에서 실제 사고전류차단시 발생하는 아크소호 및 차단을 담당하는 매우 중요한 부분이다. 일반적으로 교류차단기는 일시적으로 에너지가 공급되지 않는 전류 영점에서 아크소호 및 전류차단이 이루어진다. 일반적으로 아크가 발생하는 전극분리시점에서 아크가 소호되는 전류영점까지의 시간을 아크지속시간(arcing time)이라고 한다. 일단 진공 인터럽터 내부의 접점이 분리됨과 동시에 아크가 발생하게되면 이때 진공인터럽터는 아크지속시간동안 고온의 아크에 의한 접점손상을 최소화하기 위해 아크의 거동을 적절히 제어하여 아크에너지를 접점표면상에 골고루 분산시켜야 한다. 현재 진공인터럽터에 사용되는 아크제어 방식에는 크게 횡자계 방식과 축자계 방식이 있다. 본 논문에서는 횡자계 방식 중 spiral type 접점을 사용하여 25 kA의 전류차단시험을 진행하면서 아크전압을 취득하는 동시에 아크이미지를 촬영하여 아크지속시간동안의 아크의 거동을 분석하였는데 특히 본 실험에서는 전체 아크지속시간동안의 아크상태천이과정이 가장 잘 관찰되는 비교적 긴 아크지속시간을 설정하여 실험을 진행하였으며 이때 접점손상이 아크거동 및 차단성능에 미치는 영향을 중점적으로 다루었다.

변압기형 전류제한기는 1차측이 선로와 연결되어 있고 2차측은 고온 초전도 소자가 연결되어 있다. 사고 시 고온 초전도 소자의 부담을 줄이고자 2차측에 무유도 션트 저항을 연결하여 특성을 분석하였다. 션트가 없을 때 선로전류 제한율은 좋은나 2차측에 있는 초전도 소자가 부담해야하는 전력은 크다. 션트가 있을 때는 선로전류 제한율은 감소하는 반면 초전도 소자가 부당해야하는 전력은 크게 줄어들었다. 이때 2차측의 전압과 전류 중 전압의 감소 폭이 더 컸으며 션트저항 값이 작을수록 전압의 크기는 더 작아졌다. 결론적으로 션트저항의 연결에 따라 제한율은 낮아지지만 소자가 부담해야하는 전력은 크게 줄어든다.

The main cause of cable accidents is the accelerated deterioration of the cable itself or internal and external electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, moisture intrusion, etc., which reduces insulation performance and causes insulation breakdown, leading to cable accidents. Insulation deterioration can occur even when there is no change in the appearance of the cable, so there is a difficulty in preventing cable accidents due to insulation deterioration. Since cable accidents can occur in areas with poor insulation due to the effects of overvoltage and overcurrent, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze transformers and circuit breakers, and ground faults caused by phase-to-phase imbalance. Ground fault accidents due to insulation breakdown of cables can occur due to defects in the cable itself and poor cable construction, as well as operational influences, arcs during operation of electrical equipment (switchers, circuit breakers, etc.). analysis is needed. This study intends to examine the causes of cable accidents through analysis of cable accidents that occurred in a manufacturing factory.
