The current density in the IPS(Inverse Pinch Switch) is 1/62 times less than that in the spark gap. It was shown that in comparison with the spark gap, the switch inductance of the IPS is largely reduced and the useful lifetime is significantly increased. In the paper, the design technology of a closing switch, especially IPS triggered by electrical signal for pulsed power system with a very high voltage and current is presented.

A limit switch box is used for a indicator of a valve actuator. This device indicates an opening and closing of a valve or throttle in a valve actuator. In a ship, equipments are required safety and robustness because of a rough environment and a specific condition during a voyage. However, the limit switch box is used in an indoor environment generally. In order to evaluate the endurance of the limit switch box used in an indoor environment, the endurance tests against salt water have been conducted. Experiment results showed that the limit switch box was corroded severely. Thus, this study developed a new limit switch box which can be used at an outdoor environment. The housing of the developed limit switch box was made by an stainless steel to prevent corrosion.

A new type of RF MEMS switch for low voltage actuation, high broadband application and high power capability is presented. Mechanical and electromagnetic simulations of this new RF MEMS switch type are shown and the fabrication process and measurement results are given. The switching element consists of a cantilever which is fixed by a suspension spring to the ground of the coplanar line. The closing voltage is 16V. The switches exhibit low insertion loss (<0.85dB@30GHz) with good isolation (>22dB@30GHz).

Making-Switch는 대전력 시험에 있어 가장 중요한 시험 설비중의 하나로 시험 회로를 최후에 폐로하여 전류를 피시품에 인가하는 역할을 한다. 정확한 시험을 위해 투입 위상각을 정밀 제어할 수 있어야 하며 이는 Closing time error에 따라 결정된다. 또한 빈번한 투입과 대전류 투입등의 가혹한 사용 조건하에서도 문제없이 동작하기 위해 각 부품에 따라 특수한 특성이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 Making-Switch의 일반 사항 및 그 특성에 관하여 고찰하여 보았다.

In ship, equipments are required safe and robust because of a rough environment and a specific condition during a voyage. However, the limit switch box is used in an indoor environment generally. Thus, a new limit switch box must be developed which can be used at an outdoor environment. This study designed the limit switch box. The housing of the limit switch box was made by an aluminium die cast method with surface painting after anodizing or chromate coating. In order to evaluate the endurance of the housing, the endurance tests against salt water have been conducted. Experiment results showed that the proposed device provides a reliable performance against salt water.

Crowbar system is usually applied to a pulsed power system in which a capacitor bank is discharged into a load. This provides a free wheeling path for the load current and prevents the capacitor from recharging due to a reverse voltage. Usually diodes have been used as a crowbar switch, but it is not a practical system because the cost of the diodes goes up enormously with increasing the system voltage and current. This paper presents a novel protection scheme of a charging and discharging system of a 300 kJ capacitor bank using a low-cost crowbar system which consists of a crowbar switch and resistors. Triggered vacuum switch(TVS) was used for a crowbar switch, and Rogowski coil was used to determine a trigger time of TVS. When this crowbar system is applied to our pulsed power system which consists of capacitor bank($123muF$), inductor() for forming a pulse, load resistor$(100 m\Omega)$, and a closing switch, instantaneous reversal voltage of capacitor bank could be limited less than 1.8 ㎸ until capacitor bank was charred to 17 ㎸.

This paper is introducing a newly developed spark-gap switch with dual trigger system, into which the current from the voltage source is injected along with the test sequence during the synthetic testing of high voltage circuit-breaker. The currently-used spark gap switch is narrow in operating range due to the use of the method of triggering energy being injected by single way. As a result, the frequent happening of misoperation has greatly reduced the test quality and test efficiency and has required the cost of maintenance excessively. In this study, accordingly, in order to basically remove these problems, another triggering system is installed to the opposite direction on the existing triggering system; attaching the same time and the same rising time of pulse wave as on the existing system, so that at a comparatively trigger gap distance from the main electrode(the gap can be operated at 60% of self-break voltage, while at 80% in the current system), the main electrode has been enabled to be closed by the development of spark gap switch with dual trigger system.

Because all of the short-circuit testing laboratories have the limitation of test facilities, the synthetic making test methods have been used to estimate the short-circuit making performance of the ultra high-voltage circuit breaker as the alternative to direct test methods. So, KERI(Korea Eelctrotechnology Research institute) has completed the construction of the synthetic making test facilities using the low capacity step-up transformer method which fulfill the requirements specified in newly revised IEC 62271-100 Edition 1.1(2003) and have the testing capability up to 550kV, 63kA full-pole circuit breaker. The test facilities using the low capacity step-up transformer method presented in this paper are made up of the unit equipments such as HCS(High-speed Closing Switch), ITMC(Initial Transient Making Current) circuit and UP TR(low capacity step-up transformer) and have the operating range of 17.6$^{\circ}$ $\~$ 145.1$^{\circ}$ for testing the circuit breaker rated on up to 50kA and 43.1$^{\circ}$ $\~$ 119.6$^{\circ}$ for more than 50kA.
