The purpose of this experiment is to modify diagnosis criterion of isothermal relaxation current(IRC) measurement equipment which is using for distribution cable diagnosis. We're using this system for several years in the field instead of DC leakage current measurement and lots of cables were replaced. But we have to investigate on the reliability of this equipment for our cables because we didn't carried out condition assessment of extracted cables after field diagnosis by this equipment. It is important thing for cable maintenance. If the replacement criterion is improper we can not prevent failures or will waste budget on account of replacement of the sound cables. In this papar we selected field installed cables and injected silicone fluid to the cables for insulation rehabilitation. In order to prove reliability of the diagnosis equipment we compared diagnosis results and AC breakdown strength according to operating time after silicone treatment. This is the results of the field test for 1 year.

This paper describes the mechanisms which breaks A.C. over-current protection in low voltage load. For the high speed over-current protection, it consists of thyristor switching circuit by forced commutation, IC logic gate controlled circuit and over-current detector with reed switch. Under various duty conditions, breacker was carried out several experiments and discussions. The results are as follows; (1) over-current cut off is possible within a quarter cycle (4ms at 60Hz) and clear is at least ten times faster than its electromechanical equivalent. (2) as the forced commutation thyristor circuit breaker has capability of high speed break, equivalent surgy current capacity of switching thyristor is increased more than twenty times of its rated current. (3) breaker using solid state dose not produce any harmful arc during switching period. Therefore the breaker above described may be considered an effective over-current protector for soli state power devices in industrial applications.

An innovative ozonizer has been developed using a high frequency, surface discharge and a high purity Ti-Si-AI ceramic catalyst as a dielectric component. Using a type of thin film, a thin cylindrical compound ceramic catalyst layer was adhered to the outside surface of its inner electrode. An alternating current (AC) exciting voltage with frequencies from 0.6 KHz to 1.0 KHz and peak-to-peak voltages of 4-6 ㎸ was applied between the electrodes to produce a stable high-frequency silent discharge. A substantial reduction of the exciting voltage was also enabled by means of a thin Ti-Si-Al ceramic catalyst tube. As a result, the ozonizer can effortlessly obtain the required ozone concentration (50-60 g/$m^2$ for oxygen) and high ozone efficiency consumption power (180 g/kWh for oxygen) with-out the assistance of any particular methods. For purposes of this experiment, oxygen gas temperature was set at 2$0^{\circ}C$, with an inner reactor pressure of 1.6 atm at 600 Hz and a flow rate of 2 l/min.

태양광 발전의 DC 전압 출력 및 케이블을 이용한 해상풍력 발전과 같은 신재생 에너지 이용이 증대되고 있다. 또한, 에너지의 전력전송 대용량화에 따른 기존의 AC 전력전송 방식을 개선한 DC 전력전송에 대한 연구가 활발히 연구되고 있다. DC 전력전송은 송전선로의 원거리화 및 절연내력의 저감과 같은 장점이 있으나, 전류 차단 시 큰 아크로 인하여 고속차단기 구성이 매우 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 최근에는 DC 전력전송에 있어서 큰 과제인 고속차단을 위해 전자식 차단기에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 전자식 차단기를 구성할 경우 차단기 투입 시 큰 돌입전류와 입출력 절연저항이 기존 차단기보다 낮아지는 단점으로 인해 매우 큰 아크가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 고 전압 대 전류에 적합하고 피크성 전압/전류에 강인한 소자인 SCR을 이용한 전자식 DC 차단기 연구를 진행하였다.

In general, AT(Auto-transformer) is used to improve voltage sag and inductive interference in power lines and communication lines in AC electrical railway feeding system. Especially, Korean AT feeding system has different composition compared to other countries like Japan or France, so that it has some special characteristics. However, relays imported from other countries have been used in Korea, and settings of these relays should be modified and reflect distinct characteristics of Korean AT feeding system. Therefore, study about fault analysis based on modeled AT feeding system is important. In this paper, we modeled a single track AT feeding system by using PSCAD and analyzed fault current flow in case of trolley-rail short circuit fault. Finally, we presented current magnitude of each branch expressed by boosting current of AT.

This paper describes analysis of risk voltage for grounding electrode where earth leakage current is injected. To assess risk voltage of grounding electrode, the grounding simulator and CDEGS program were used to obtain measured data and theoretical results of this study. The grounding simulator was composed of a hemispherical water tank, AC power supply, a movable potentiometer, and test grounding electrodes. The shapes of grounding electrode model was ground rod. The potential rise was measured by grounding simulator, and the touch and step voltages were computed by CDEGS program. As a consequence, the potential rise of ground rod abruptly decreases with increasing the distance from the grounding electrode to the point to be tested. The touch voltage above the ground rod was low, but the step voltage was high. The measured results were compared with the computer calculated data and were known in good agreement.

As a solution of improving the energy efficiency in power system, Low Voltage DC (LVDC) distribution systems different from conventional ones have been constantly researched. As in conventional AC distribution system, LVDC distribution system can suffer from High Impedance Fault (HIF) which may cause a failure of protective relay due to relatively low change in magnitude of fault current. In order to solve the problem, a scheme for detecting HIFs is presented in this paper. Closing Opening Difference Operation (CODO) based on Mathematical Morphology (MM), one of the MM-based filters, is utilized to make fault signals discriminable. To verify performance of the scheme, a simple LVDC distribution system is modeled by using ElectroMagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) software. Computer simulations according to various conditions are performed and comparison studies with a scheme using Wavelet Transform (WT) in an aspect of simulation time are also conducted.

This paper presents the characteristics of partial discharge and radiated electromagnetic waves in the existence of a poor contact for the insulation diagnosis of eco-friendly power equipment. AC surface discharge experiment was conducted to simulate the poor contact between a hive voltage electrode (anode) and a solid insulator in $N_2/O_2$ mixture gas under a non-uniform field. The partial discharge voltage to be measured at 0.3MPa increased with the increase of the poor contact gap and was saturated with the gap. In addition to the partial discharge characteristics, it was verified that the defect of the poor contact can be diagnosed using the radiated electromagnetic waves due to the partial discharge, which measured by a biconical EMC antenna and a spectrum analyzer.

In this paper, we have proposed a novel zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) soft-switching H-bridge inverter. Because the conventional H-Bridge inverter generates switching losses at turn on and off, the efficiency is reduced. The proposed inverter operates ZVS switching using an auxiliary switch and resonant circuit to improve the efficiency. in the DC-DC converter stage, it can reduce not only switching loss but also capacity and size of passive devices due to the resonant elements. DC-AC inverter stage supplies load with energy through the ZVS operation of 4 switches. A detail mode analysis of operating is in presented. We have presented the inverter topology, principle of operation and simulation results obtained from the PSIM simulator.
