The current study examines the mediation effect of the work-family spillover between full-time married working women's inefficient working culture and career interruption intention. The mediation effect is tested by classifying the work-family spillover effect into two subfactors: the work-family conflict and the work-family facilitation. For this purpose, we sampled 281 full-time married working women aged between 30 and 50s and conducted a hierarchical regression analysis. The main results are as follows: both work-family conflict and work-family facilitation play the role of partial mediation. This finding implies that it is necessary to carefully examine the effects of subfactors for work-family spillover to married working women's career interruption.

High speed circuit breakers(HSCB) interrupt the generated arc within the arc chute to turn off the electricity flowing through the main circuit to prevent ground faults. In order to explore the arc generated from the contactor operation, arc definition, establishment of arc interruption method, and analysis of magnetic driving force are required. In this paper, arc interruption capability has been estimated by exploring the difference in magnetic flux density of Lorenz forces using finite element analysis. In addition, since the number of grids and changes in the grid shape within the arc chute influence the formation of the inner magnetic field, its effects have been explored to enhance arc interruption capability. Assessment of interruption capability and analysis of grid shape, with rated operating current, are reported.

The rate of rise of the fault current in DC grids is very high compared to AC grids because of the low line impedance of DC lines. In AC grids the arc of the circuit breaker under current interruption is extinguished by the zero current crossing which is provided naturally by the system. In DC grids the zero current crossing must be provided by the circuit breaker itself. Unlike AC girds, the magnetic energy of DC grids is stored in the system inductance. The DC circuit breaker must dissipate the stored energy. In addition the DC breaker must withstand the residual overvoltage after the current interruption. The main contents of this paper are to ${\cdot}$ Explain the theoretical background for the design of DC circuit breaker. ${\cdot}$ Develop the simulation model in PSIM of the real scaled DC circuit breaker for 1,800V DC railway. ${\cdot}$ Suggest design guidelines for the DC circuit breaker based on the experimental work, simulations and design process.

At present, the principle of puffer action in high current interruption is adopted in almost of the EHV(Extra High Voltage) and UHV(Ultra High Voltage) GCB(Gas Circuit Breakers). The thermal interruption capability of these GCBs critically depends on the pressure rise in the puffer cylinder at current zero. The pressure rise in the puffer cylinder depends on the puffer cylinder volume, flow passage and leakage area in the interrupter, stroke curve etc. Recently commercial CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics ) packages have been widely adopted to calculate the pressure distribution in the interrupter. However, there are still several problems with it, e.g. very expensive price, moving boundary problem, computation time, difficulty in using the package etc. Thus, the calculation of the puffer cylinder pressure in simple and relatively correct method is essential in early stage of GCB design. In these paper, the model ing technique and computed results for EHV class GCB (HICO, 145kV 40kA and 362kV 40kA GCB) are presented and compared with available measured results.

For limitation and interruption of short circuit currents from low voltage to extra high voltage applications, the electrical equipment including fuses and circuit breakers, are widely used today. But in order to anticipate increasing needs for effective and competitive device for limiting the growing fault current in electrical power systems, fault current limitation technologies and fault current limitation devices are widely introduced and investigated in these days. Furthermore, the applications of high temperature superconducting materials (HTSC) into the current limiting devices are new approach for developing of novel and effective col-rent limitation electrical equipment. In this research, the necessities of current limitation technology and the developed and developing current limitation devices for power systems are introduced. Finally, the investigation of resistive type fault current limiters which is under development by LG and KEPCO were introduced.

Arc Fault Current is an electric discharge which is occurred in two opposite electrode. In this paper, arc current control algorithm is designed for the interruption of arc fault current which is occurred in the low voltage network. This arc is one of the main causes of electric fire. General arc current sensor has troubles for detecting arc currents, thus we would like to propose the arc current detection method without current sensor. In this paper, arc discharge currents within power lines are being detected through the arc current control algorithm.

Even the case DC circuit Breaker have good quality for interruption of high current like heavy load current, short-circuit current, the verification for small current breaking capability of circuit breaker should be performed. It comes from the reason DC small current breaking failure can be lead to break out second heavy fault condition and in the long run substation shutdown. In this paper, we can find the characteristics of DC small current and international test standard discription about small current breaking and one of the proper solution to get over it.

In this study, a SFCL-combined DC circuit breaker system was proposed by applying the current-limiting technology for DC circuit breaking. The SFCL-combined circuit breaker system consists of a mechanical DC circuit breaker combined with superconductors. To ensure the reliable structure and operation of the SFCL-combined circuit breaker system, a simulation grid was designed using the EMTDC/PSCAD program, and simulation was conducted. The results showed that the SFCL-combined DC circuit breaker system with superconductors limited the maximum fault current by 37%. In addition, the burden on the DC circuit breaker was decreased by 87%.

We present the basic properties of a superconducting current limiting fuse (SCLF) based on YBCO/Au films. The SCLFs consists of YBCO stripes covered with Au layers for current shunt. Under the source voltage of 100 $V_{rms}$, the longer the duration time of fault current was, the shorter its discharge time was. The duration time of fault current and its discharge time were reduced by increased voltages in the range of 200 - 300 $V_{rms}$. We thought that this was because the quench propagation was limited by local melting generated with higher voltage.

In designing $SF_6$ puffer circuit breakers, analyzing are behavior during current zero region and thermal recovery characteristics after current interrupt ion is very important. In this paper, a mathematical are model based on the integral method has been based to analyze them. The pressure rise in the puffer chamber and the distributions of pressure, density, velocity and enthalpy inside nozzle are calculated and analyzed at current zero region. The influence of fault current magnitude and change of di/dt at current zero on the interruption capability of puffer circuit breakers is investigated. Finally, the calculated results are compared with the available results from experiment.
