Rogowski coil is made having no ferromagnetic material in a core. So the coil cannot be driven into saturation. This result in that Rogowski coils may be calibrated at relatively low currents. and used with confidence at very high currents. However the lowest level of current that can be measured is limited by the sensitivity of the voltage measuring instrument and system noise. Therefore. geometrical effects were investigated in order to measure high sensitivity of low level current and the significant source of error was examined as well. In the results, the source of error was associated with coil designs. i.e. shape and uniformity of coil and a geometrical location of current source inside and outside of the Rogowski coil.

Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) are widely used as surge protectors for commnuication applications due to their small internal capacitance. In these days, however, they are mostly used in combined configurations, because the activation voltage required to initiate the discharge process in the GDTs for sufficient amount of time can be large enough to damage surge-sensitive protected circuits. For GDTs with a considerably high initial over-voltage value, we should limit the peak voltage using a TVS or filter. As for ZnO varistors, even though their performance for voltage restriction is excellent, their applications in high-frequency commnuication circuits have been limited because of higher internal capacitance when compared to the GDTs. In order to develop a surge protector for commnuication applications by taking advantages of these two devices, we built a combination circuit that connects a GDT and a ZnO varistor along with a choke coil in common and differential modes. We describe how the applied SPDs operate in protection process steps with the actual data obtained from the residual voltage measurements at each step. The experiment results show that the surge voltage restriction with the choke coil is more effective in 100 [kHz] RingWave voltage than in lightning impulse voltage.

Studies on the development of high voltage superconducting apparatuses, such as transmission superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) and superconducting cables, have been performed worldwide. In this paper, a study on the electrical insulation characteristics of electro negative gas according to various pressures and utilization factors was conducted as a part of developing a high voltage superconducting coil with a sub-cooled nitrogen cooling system. Some gases such as helium (He), nitrogen ($N_2$), and sulfur hexafluoride ($SF_6$) are considered for pressurizing the sub-cooled nitrogen cooling system of high voltage SFCLs and superconducting cables. $SF_6$ is used to pressurize and enhance the dielectric performance of a superconducting system of a sub-cooled nitrogen cooling system for superconducting cables being developed in the Republic of Korea. In this paper, dielectric experiments on AC voltage, as well as lightning impulse voltage of $SF_6$, are conducted according to various utilization factors by using several kinds of sphere-to-plane electrode systems. As results, it is known that the empirical formulae of $SF_6$, known as an electro negative gas, are derived according to various pressures and utilization factors. Also, the appropriate pressure condition for designing a high voltage superconducting coil is found from the viewpoint of dielectric performance.

AC and DC insulation breakdown voltage was studied for magnet wire coated with double layers of high flexural PAI layer and high anti-corona PAI/nanosilica (15 wt%) layer. The specimens were prepared at various drying temperatures (T/D): $22^{\circ}C$, $240^{\circ}C$, and $260^{\circ}C$, respectively. The increase effects of nanosilica on AC and DC insulation breakdown voltage were not so significant compared to that of magnet wire coil coated with original PAI. And the AC and DC insulation breakdown voltage was improved by decreasing diameter of winding coil. As T/D temperature increased, AC and DC insulation breakdown voltage decreased.

In this study, we have developed the automatic voltage regulator(AVR) with robust voltage controllability, high efficiency and low cost. In AVR, the output voltage is controlled by the Tap changing of the slidacs coil using DC motor. And AVR has the improved output voltage characteristics because of the modified configuration of a point of contact between the slidacs coil and the moving rod.

A contactless recharging device for totally implantable middle ear systems has been designed as a pillow type that the user can recharge the implanted battery with taking a rest. The proposed device uses the electromagnetic coupling between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil. To supply sufficient power for the implanted circuits, each coil uses LC resonance and the implanted device uses voltage doubler. A power MOSFET is used for switching the DC voltage of LC parallel circuit and the switching frequency demands on a programmable frequency generator which is controlled by microcontroller. In order to improve the electromagnetic coupling efficiency at specific positions of coil which may vary with the displacement of head, the optimal location of receiving coil was studied, and the 5 transmitting coils in a pillow for recharging the implant module was designed. From such a recharging experiment, it was found that the proposed device could provide the sufficient operating voltage within the distance of 4 cm between pillow and the implanted device.

We investigated the usefulness of $NbO_{x}$ nanopillars as an etching mask of dry etching for the formation of Si nanodot arrays. The $NbO_{x}$ nanopillar arrays were prepared by the anodic aluminum oxidation process of Al and Nb thin films. The etch rate and etch profile of $NbO_{x}$ nanopillar arrays were examined by varying the experimental conditions such as the concentration of etch gas, coil rf power, and dc bias voltage in the reactive ion etch system using the inductively coupled plasma. As the concentration of $Cl_{2}$ gas increased, the etch rate of $NbO_{x}$nanopillars decreased. With increasing coil rf power and dc bias voltage, the etch rates were found to increase. The etch characteristics and etch mechanism of $NbO_{x}$ nanopillars were investigated by varying the etch time under the selected etch conditions.

GMR isolator was modeled using a Wheatstone bridge which is profitable for transmitting rectangular wave digital data, and the output voltage characteristics in relation to the input current were investigated in time domain. GMR isolator modeling was divided into two parts, namely magnetic and electric parts. The flow chart of the modeling was drawn in which measured MR curve of the spin valves were incorporated to obtain the electrical voltage output. For magnetic modeling, 3-dimensional model of planar coil was analyzed by FEM method to obtain the magnetic field strength corresponding to the input current. For electric modeling, resistance, inductance and capacitance of the planar coil were calculated and magnetic field waveform was obtained corresponding to the coil current waveform in time domain. Finally, MR-H curves of spin valves and the magnetic field waveform at the spin valves were composited to obtain the output voltage waveform of the isolator. Even though the amplitude of the coil current waveform was increased by 100％, decreased by 90％, or delayed by 10％ of the period compared with the input current, similar transmitted output voltage waveform to the input current waveform was obtained due to hysteretic characteristics of the spin valves at the transmission speed of over 400 Mbit/s.
