In this paper, new and aging sample of MCCB and ELCB are investigated the main performance test such as short circuit test, mechanical and electrical endurance test, dielectric test and surge current test. The surface conditions of new and aging sample are analyzed by SEM, TGA and DSC. The ELCB occurred badness mainly in short circuit test and surge current test. The badness cause of short circuit test was confirmed due to imperfect contact of contact part.

ZnO varistor ceramics added a glass-frit 0.03 $wt\%$ were fabricated with variation of sintering temperature. The sintering temperature and time were $1125^{\circ}C\~1200^{\circ}C$ and 2 h. The average grain sizes increased and the varistor voltage decreased with increasing the sintering temperature. The values of the specimen sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ were $23.7\;{\mu}m$ and 329 V, respectively. The leakage current of all specimens was less than $1\;{\mu}A$ at DC $82\%$ of varistor voltage. The clamping voltage ratio of the specimen sintered at $1175^{\circ}C$ was 1.37. The endurance of surge current and the deviation of varistor voltage of the specimen sintered at $1175^{\circ}C$ were 6400 $A/cm^2$ and ${\Delta}-2.81\%$, respectively. After the High Temperature Load Test(HTLT) at $85^{\circ}C$ for 1000 h, the specimen sintered at $1175^{\circ}C$ showed the lowest deviation of varistor voltage of ${\Delta}-1.92\%$.

ZnO varistor ceramics were fabricated as a function of the sintering temperature from $1125^{\circ}C$ to $1200^{\circ}C$ with glass-frit 0.03wt% addition. The average grain size was increased from 10.4 ${\mu}m$ to 23.7 ${\mu}m$, and varistor voltage was decreased from 538 V to 329 V with rising of the sintering temperature. The nonlinear coefficient a showed similar value from 75 to 80 and leakage current of all specimens exhibited the result of $1{\mu}A$ at 82% of varistor voltage. But the clamping voltage ratio of the specimens sintered at $1175^{\circ}C$ was 1.37 at 25A [$8/20{\mu}s$]. Also, endurance of surge current and deviation of varistor voltage of sintered specimens at $1175^{\circ}C$ were $6400A/cm^2$, $\Delta$-3.32%, respectively.

High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) 시스템은 고압 직류송전을 위한 시스템이다. 고압 직류 송전을 위해서는 전력변환기가 교류전력을 직류전력으로 변환해주어야 하는데, 최근에는 모듈형 멀티레벨 컨버터(Modular Multilevel Converter, MMC)가 많이 적용되고 있다. MMC는 다수의 서브모듈이 직렬로 구성되어 있으며 DC-link단에 대용량 커패시터가 없다. MMC의 심각한 사고 중에 하나는 DC측 전력케이블의 단락사고로 시스템에 따라서 수십 kA 정도의 사고전류가 AC측 CB(Circuit Breaker)가 열리기 전까지 수십 ms에서 수백 ms동안 흐른다. 만약 하프브릿지 회로의 서브모듈로 구성된 컨버터에 별도 보호장치가 없으면 단락전류는 서브모듈의 하단 다이오드를 통해서 흐르게 되어 소손되게 된다. 이를 방지하기 위해 단락전류를 바이패스(by-pass) 시키기 위한 별도의 사이리스터를 추가하는데 이 기기의 사양은 DC 단락 전류를 충분히 견딜 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 사이리스터의 서지 전류 내력을 평가하기 위해 사양을 분석하고 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해서 검증하였다.
