The lightning with high voltage and current can enter the basestations for mobile communication through their antenna. The device which can protect the basestation against the lightning, is surge arrestor. In this paper, the concept, kind, operating mechanism, design and fabrication of surge arrestor were studied. Based on the studied data, variable surge arrestors were designed for the current mobile communication service like a cellular, GSM and PCS and the next generation mobile communication like a IMT-2000. Computer simulation for the prediction of their characteristics and inner structure optimization for the improvement of their electrical characteristics were carried with high frequency 3D structure simulator. Quarter wave short stub surge arrestors for IMT-2000 were fabricated with their final design and then the measurement of electrical characteristics and the lightning test were executed. As a results of measurement, we obtained below 1.05 of VSWR, -0.035 dB of insertion loss, -150 dBc of intermodulation and 7∼ll V of residual voltage.

Water hammer pressure waves were measured in a simplified water piping system with and without arresters and air chambers by the operations of the solenoid valve. Experiments were performed to investigate the effects of the location of the arresters and the effects of the volume of the air chambers on maximum and minimum water hammer pressures and wave frequency for various flow rates.

Extension of the mobile communication and the rapidly developing services connected with wireless multimedia(W-CDMA, DMB, Wibro, and so on) need great many base station transceiver systems, antennas, and many signal transmission line to embody these services. The min communication appliances system is exposed always in danger of transient overvoltage by direct stroke or induced lightning surge flowing in through antenna because the antenna of base station transceiver system or relay equipment is combined with expensive communication network equipments through signal transmission line. Now, gas discharge tube(GDT) or narrow band stub arrestor which is used by the surge protector for communication use is exposing limitations as for lightning surge protective means of the communication facility with high speed and wide frequency band. Therefore, for improving performance of surge arrestor, we applied ceramic filter which can reduce lightning surge invading from antenna effectively, and proved that ceramic filter is effective in residual voltage reduction through the experimental research.

One of the ways to improve the stability of power facilities used in power systems is to use power surge arresters and to protect against transient overvoltages and surges in normal operation. Also it is important to reduce the impact of lightning strikes because lightning can create overvoltage in the grid of the wind turbine and affect power quality. So This paper analyzes the effects of overvoltage and adjacent turbines due to single strike and multi strike to ground impedance changes when the surge arrester is deteriorated in a wind power farm.

The process of designing protective circuits for signal lines usually consists of a time-consuming trial-and-error procedure, which also requires expensive equipment. However, computer simulation can drastically reduce the costs and time of design procedures based on experimental validation. In this study a gas arrester Pspice-model considering the response time characteristics is presented. The effects of various waveforms on the transient behaviors and firing voltages of a gas arrester were modeled by controlled voltage source E and TABLE function of PSpice, respectively. To estimate the characteristics of the gas arrester model proposed, three different voltage waveforms were used in the simulation and the measurement. The results of the computer simulation are in Rood agreement with the results of the experimental analysis.

The AC power lines and signal lines of info-communication networks are muted on overhead poles and are exposed to lightning strikes. Due to the potential difference between groundings of the AC power lines and telecommunication lines, the electronic equipments connected to the telecommunication lines can easily be damaged by lightning surges. In this work, in order to develop the reliable ways to protect information and communication facilities from lightning surges, the reliability and performance of surge protective devices were experimentally investigated in actual-sized test circuit. The operation behaviors of surge protective devices against lightning surges from the AC power lines and telecommunication lines and the coordination effects of SPD installation method were evaluated. As a consequence, it was confirmed that the bypass arrester and common grounding system is very effective.

The tendency of lightning surge to propagate is a eared variously depend on the power system and subject equipment of protection. However, looking into the subject equipment with the lightning surge, the invasion route of lightning surge can be divided in between the two lines of power, between the power line and the ground, the power line and the PE conductor, between the neutral line and the ground and the like. In addition, in the event of the communication equipment, there exists the route of lightning surge incoming from between the communication lines, the communication line and the ground in addition to the power lines. In this study, the tendency of propagation of lightning surge penetrated on to the subject equipment is analyzed through the empirical experiment in accordance with the ground method by using the independent ground, common ground and bypass arrester ground for safety improvement in power lines.
