This paper presents the design of a small scale High Tc superconducting power transformer. In the design of the transformer, BSCCO-2223 tape was considered as the conductor. Double pan cake winding was adopted in order to easy the construction of the winding and to lessen the leakage reactance of the transformer. Numerical calculation was used to decide the arrangement of the double pan cake winding. Estimation of the AC loss, magnetizing loss and self field loss, in the superconducting winding and the iron loss in the core were given.

Optimal routing of distribution networks can be attained by keeping the line power capacity limit to handle load requirements, acceptable voltage at customer loads, and the reliability indices such as SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI, and ASAI limits. This method is composed of optimal loss reduction and optimal reliability cost reduction. The former is solved relating to the conductor resistance of all alternative routes, and the latter is solved relating to the failure rate and duration of each alternative route. The routing considering optimal loss only and both optimal loss and optimal reliability cost are compared in this paper. The results showed that reliability cost should be considered as well as loss reduction to achieve the optimal routing in the distribution networks.

This paper compared the test data with the loss when a conductor is exposed to the magnetic fieldof reactors after generating external magnetic field in specimen by means of an air core reactor model and the calculation of loss came from a tying the combination of FEM and integral method. It was applied to the loss measurement of transformers due to leakage flux.

AC loss is an important factor in the development of superconducting tapes and superconducting power applications. In this paper, magnetization loss in YBCO coated conductor have been measured and compared with Brandt equation. Measurements of magnetization loss were performed under various angles of external magnetic field to consider the anisotropic characteristics of YBCO coated conductors. The results show that measured values of magnetization loss agreed well with the calculated value by using Brandt equation, especially at large degrees of incidence angle. The magnetization losses were strongly influenced by the direction of external magnet field as were expected.

An HTS power cable has multi-layer conductor structure to increase the current capacity. However, usually the current is not evenly distributed among the layers. This paper describes a method to make the current distribution more uniform and hence reduce the AC loss. Also. this paper shows recommendation for future cable conductor prototypes.

A typical HTS power transmission cable has multi-layer conductor structure to increase the current capacity. The tapes of the innermost layer are wound on a round former, and adjacent tapes of another layer are separated by a thin insulating film. However, usually the current is not evenly distributed among the layers because of inductance difference of each layer, and the inductance is provided by the winding pitch of each layer's tape. Consequently n method to make the current distribution more uniform is a adjusting the tape winding pitch, hence reduce the AC loss. This paper describes a current distribution by adjusting a tape winding pitch of each layer. Also, this paper shows recommendations for future cable conductor prototypes.

In electrical power supply systems, an earthing system determines the electrical potential of the conductors relative to that of the Earth's conductive surface. The choice of earthing system has implications for the safety of the power supply. Note that regulations for earthing (grounding) systems vary considerably among different countries. A protective earth(PE) connection ensures that all exposed conductive surfaces are at the same electrical potential as the surface of the Earth, This paper investigates that when PEN conductor of TN-C-S system is disconnected, dangerous touch voltage is caused at personnel body. According to this paper, we can understand that when TN-C-S system is applied in Korea, what we should set up to ensure the personnel safety from fault current.

Multi-slacked HTS tapes are needed to conduct large current in the power application of superconducting machine. This paper deals with the transport current loss of multi-stacked YBCO coated conductor. YBCO coated conductor that was used in this experiment has two Cu layers above and below of YBCO layer for stabilization. Transport losses of four different stacks, single, 2 stack, 3 stack and 4 stack, were measured. Measured results were compared analytic equation suggested by Norris.

This paper deals with the development and application of an inner corrosion detector for the ACSR(Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) power lines. The detector runs on an ACSR power line and inspects the inner corrosion of the conductor using the technology of the nondestructive eddy current test. It is consists of an ECT sensor, signal processing units, a RF transmitter/receiver, and etc.. The experimental result through field tests shows the detector can efficiently find both the zinc and aluminum loss of ACSR power lines.
