SC(Static Condenser) in KEPCO is used in voltage control and power factor compensation. Currently KEPCO uses SC to 154kv 50MVA and 23kv SMVA. It is not important in old days because a SC bank accident has no effect on power system. But we are interested in the SC bank for power quality in these days. The SC Bank has a reactor and a condenser using series connection. It is operated in critical point for resonance circuit normally. Therefore the SC bank has a small reliability against other Power instruments. If a 4th harmonic frequency as a resonance frequency is supplied in system, the condenser is damaged because of a resonance current. And a trip and a closing for CB(Circuit Breaker) in many times will have a big influence of SC bank destruction. General OCR(Over Current Relay) observing SC bank is not useful for this protection We think that protection relay must be have the SC bank characteristics. A solution for this problem is active Power, resonance frequency and impedance.

The operation of condenser-bank is now increasing around Kyoungin area. The operation of condenser-bank is used for the improvement of under voltage and expand of power demand. But the operation has the problem in itself as the switching over voltage. This report deals with the static-condenser fault caused by abnormal operation of circuit breaker which has occurred last summer. We have analyzed this fault using EMTP(electromagnetic transient program).

The flow pattern inside the power condenser is generally known to be very complicated due to the phase change and turbulence effects as well as the effect of condenser geometry. In the present study, the flow pattern inside the power condenser was numerically simulated with a personal computer. The widely known CHAMPION 2/E/FIX(Concentration, Heat and Momentum Program Instruction Outfit, 2D/Elliptic/Fixed grid) computer code was modified for this purpose. The flow was asssumed to be two-dimensional and steady-state, and the tube bank was considered to be homogeneous porous medium. Simple turbulent diffusion coefficients based on the appropriate experiments were obtained for the computation. Through this analytical approach, the flow pattern could be predicted fairly well. The computational results also show that the location of the air vent plays an important key role in determining the efficiency of the condenser.

This paper discusses the principle and structure of instantaneous voltage drop compensator, which protects damage from instantaneous voltage drop in systems such as computer, variable speed drive, high voltage discharge-lamp, magnet switch. When instantaneous voltage drop occurs, control circuits detect it, then produce output voltage the same as normal condition voltage. Instantaneous voltage drop compensator has condenser bank as energy storage component, so system can be made small, light weight compared with UPS. In normal state, utility source transfers power, and in instantaneous voltage drop state, the energy of condenser bank transfers power through inverter, so high efficiency, compact, and especially low cost system can be manufactured.

This research discusses the correlation about fire mechanism based on real fire cases. Electric power condenser failure mechanism is classified into 7 steps and fire mechanism is classified into 12 steps. In the 5th step, the procedure of operating a protection channel of a protection relay was identical in the case of the failure and fire. As the fire occurrence mechanism was applied from the 6th step, internal pressure was increased because of gas generation produced by internal combustion phenomenon and arc. This caused explosion in 10st step of fire occurrence mechanism. In 11th step, the flame such as arc gushed out with insulating oil which caused fire and leaded to second accident. This kind of step correlation could play an important part to examine fire.

This paper shows the characteristic of wave tail according to inductance values in 10/$350{\mu}s$ impulse circuit with crowbar switch. The PSpice was used to simulate the 10/$350{\mu}s$ current waveform and lightning current impulse generator was used to generate real current waveform. As a capacitor of condenser bank increases, a virtual front time increases and a time to half-value decreases. To get a perfect 10/$350{\mu}s$ current waveform, we should consider the combination of circuit values of the inductance, capacitance, time difference between trigger pulses and charged voltage of capacitor bank.

In this paper, a new topology which can add a small reactor in series to a condenser-bank type reactive power compensator to limit current is proposed. And also the proposed topology can add or remove a power condenser safely without any addition of inrush-current suppression resistance. The proposed method tests variable resistance of the drain source of a switching device which is controlled by gate voltage in a two-way switch with a diode rectifier and FET switch. In other words, the proposed method is a inrush-current suppression method with the structure of variable resistance. In particular, the proposed method creates smooth current without any resonance in inrush-current as well as is not limited by the time of switch on and off.
