Many waveform characteristics of arc signal support the detection of hazardous arc faults. The shoulder is one of main characteristics of arc signal. This paper provide a method for the detection of shoulder from series arc fault based on discrete wavelet transform. The simulation results show that the proposed method is reliable and simple.

As an arc fault interrupter, the AFCI mentioned in this paper has been designed to detect and interrupt arc faults due to wire deterioration, insulation, wire damage, loose connection, and excessive mechanical damage. Since AFCI is digital and uses mechanical and electric stress, the length of interruption against overload and over-current is much shorter than the current bi-metal method. Therefore, the risk of electrical fires has been reduced.

In this paper, in order to monitor and manage an electrical risk factor like as leakage current, load current, and arc-fault, a real time monitoring and management system being operated in the ubiquitous environment was developed, and a plan of construction of an electrical safety grid using the system was proposed. For confirmation of usefulness and reliability of the proposed safety system and grid, the developed intelligent panels were applied to 28 Korean traditional houses in Jeonjoo city, and the grid including the panels was operated. If the proposed National Electrical Safety Grid is completely constructed in the houses of general electrical users, the Grid will have an effect on that a main manager on electrical safety transfers from management system by general people to real-time management system by expert. As a result, the electrical fires caused by an over-load, an arc-fault, and an earth-fault will be prevented.

Catenary (Overhead Contact Lines) and Pantograph are used to transmit electrical energy to electric railways. An Arc occurs by unstable contact between catenary and pantograph during electric railways operation, which causes malfunctioning or even an accident. Therefore, to prevent a arc or electric contact loss are required arc detection systems with catenary maintenance capability. This paper describes developing of catenary arc detection system using photo detector in order to detect arc incidence in a indirect way. This developed system can also achieve Video-recordings and environmental conditions such as wire voltage/current, pantograph height, speed, position of electric railways, and temperature/humidity. This system have been evaluated at the section that bounds for dongdaegu from seoul. From the experimental results, the occurrence of arc and intensity of arc are mainly effected by wire voltage/current, pantograph height and speed of electric railways.

In distribution system, to enhance the reliability of a HIF (High Impedance Fault) determination, it is very important to obtain the HIF model which can represent accurately the HIF' characteristics. Accordingly, in this paper, the several HIF models which are based on the arc models are reviewed, and then the characteristics of the HIF models are compared from the reviewed results. Finally, a Methodology implementing the arc model is studied based on the direct integration method.

전력설비 증가와 더불어 GIS 사용이 확대되고 있는 상황에서 GIS 내부고장 발생시 복구 지연으로 인한 사례가 지속 발생하고 있다. 이를 예방하기 위해 170kV GIS 고장구간 판정시스템용 압력센서를 개발하고 검증을 위해 실사용 GIS 2대를 이용하여 내아크 시험을 수행한 결과이다. 시험을 통해 고장시 GIS 탱크 내부의 압력, 온도, 압력파를 측정하였고 SF6 Gas 배관과 연결된 현장조작함(LCP)내 가스주입구에 설치한 압력센서의 동작유무을 검증하였다. 시험결과 유동해석(CFD) 등 시뮬레이션 예측보다 압력 및 온도 상승이 높게 측정되었고 제품에 대한 신뢰성과 확대적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 22.9kV급 Shunt Capacitor Bank 내부 고장으로 인한 불평형 요소를 검출하기 위하여 기존의 차동전압의 크기만을 이용한 보호 방식을 검토하고, 이 보호 방식에서 발생되는 여러 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 개선 방안을 제안한다. 기존의 차동전압의 크기를 이용한 보호 방식에서는 인입단 근처에서의 고저항 아크 고장이나 접지단 근처에서의 지락 고장 등에 의해 Capacitor 소자에 손상을 입을 수 있지만, 이에 대한 고장 판정이 용이하지 않다. 따라서 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 차동전압의 주파수 계전 방식 및 접지단 전압 등을 도입하였다. 특히, 주파수 계전 요소를 도입할 경우에 비선형 부하 둥으로부터 발생되는 고조파의 영향이 없다는 것을 입증하여 부하의 종류와는 무관하게 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 적용될 수 있음을 보였다 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 사례 연구를 통하여 그 타당성이 입증되었다.

This paper describes the characteristics of a newly suggested arc-inducing driven rod with needles which could effectively spread out both the failure current with power frequency and the lightning current. The structural characteristic of the driven rod was that needles were attached on the surface of the conventional shaped driven rod and the driven rod with needles was installed inside of a copper pipe.As a result of analyzing the characteristics of this suggested driven rod when it was employed as the driven rod of an arrester in distribution system, it was verified that the primary voltage of the arrester was reduced by effectively exhausting the electrical energy since the arc occurred between the needle and the copper pipe.

Because of the continuous growth of energy consumption and also the tendency to site gas pipeline and power line along the same route, the close proximity of power lines and buried metallic pipelines has become more and more frequent. The lightning strokes collected by an electric substation or power line tower might cause arcing through the soil to an adjacent gas pipeline. This paper gives the outline of the resistance coupling and the standards of distance between gas pipeline and tower ground.

The fault current through the earth originated from a power line ground fault might cause arcing through the soil to an adjacent pipeline, which might bring about not only a catastrophic accident such as gas explosion and oil leakage but also a hazard to the safety of workers responsible for the maintenance and repair of the pipeline. In this paper we investigated the arcing phenomena through soil between a power line tower and a pipeline and outlined the standards for the separation distance of a buried pipeline adjacent to the power line tower.
