To reduce the maintenance expence, and the possibility of electric outage and accident, accurate measurement should be carried. But the classical method has some problems in the aspect of man power, reliability, and expence. In this paper, we propose a new type apparatus, which could detect the degree of contamination on insulators on outdoor insulation system, such as transmission and distribution line insulator and bushing. The new type apparatus consists of Pelltier module, electrode system, and measuring part. At first leakage current detecting method was considered, then with the fault(oxidation of electrode) of that method we should propose a another method. We carried various test to prove the possiblity and reliability of the propoused apparatus. And we get some useful result with laboratory test.

A distance relaying algorithm for detecting faults at power transmission line is presented in this paper. The algorithm is based on differential equation from relaton between voltage and current, which is composed of lumped resistance and inductance. During the fault transient state,the voltage and current signals are severely distorted due to the exponentially decaying DC offset and high frequency components, In spite of using small data, the presented integral method to evaluate R and L from voltage and current has high performance against these harmonics including DC offset. Therefore, the presented algorithm can be implemented with only a low order anti-aliasing analog filter and dosen't need any digital filter to remove specific components.

This paper proposes a method for detecting irreversible demagnetization using the harmonic analysis of back electromotive force (BEMF) in interior permanent magnet-type brushless DC motors. First, demagnetization patterns, such as equality, inequality, and weighted demagnetizations, are defined and classified by considering the possibility of demagnetization resulting from motor operating characteristics. Second, an available diagnostic model for the harmonic analysis of BEMFs is defined according to pole-slot coefficients because the characteristics of BEMFs under demagnetization conditions are affected by the combination of poles and slots. Third, BEMFs and their harmonic components under normal and demagnetization conditions are analyzed through simulation and experiment to verify the proposed demagnetization detection technique.

Despite the numerous electric systems that have been developed, electric fires remain at a similar rate each year in total fires. This paper suggests that it is not enough to prevent electric fires only by the currently used electric system. We have studied ways to improve this situation. we have focused on AFCIs that have already been institutionalized in the United States. AFCIs work by detecting the arc fault in the circuit. This is expected to contribute greatly to reducing electric fires.

In this paper, an algorithm to compensate the distorted signals due to CT(Current Transformer) saturation is suggested. Firstly, WT(Wavelet Transform) is used to detect a start point and an end point of saturation. Filter banks which can be easily realized in real-time applications are employed in detecting CT saturation. Secondly, least-square curve fitting method is used to restore the distorted section of the secondary current. Fault simulations are performed on a power system model using EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program). A series of test results indicate that WT has superior detection accuracy and the proposed algorithm which shows very stable features under various levels of remanent flux is also satisfactory.

A distance protection algorithm for detecting faults at power transmission lines is presented in this paper. The algorithm is based on the differential equation related to the voltage and the current at an equivalent circuit of a transmission line which is composed of the lumped resistance and inductance. The presented integration method has high performance at though the fault voltage and the current are heavily distorted with the DC offset and harmonics which occurred at transient states after faults.

This paper presents an on-line diagnosis system for identifying health and faulted conditions in squirrel-cage induction motors using stator current, temperature, and partial discharge signals. The proposed diagnosis system can diagnose induction motor faults such as broken rotor bars, air-gap eccentricities, stator winding insulations, and bearing faults. Experimental results obtained from induction motors show that the proposed system is capable of detecting induction motor faults.

This paper proposes an alternative vibration detection method in a squirrel-cage induction motor using flux sensors. The air-gap flux will be changed when mechanical vibration occurs by bearing fault as well as broken rotor bar and air-gap eccentricity. For detecting those flux variations due to vibration, search coils are installed at stator slots. The induction motor with 380 [V], 7.5 [kW], 4 [Poles], 1,760 [rpm] ratings is used. Magnitudes and distortion of the induced voltage from flux sensors are used to discriminate faulted types. As a result, the flux sensor has been proven to be useful for vibration detection. It is compared to the result with vibration sensor as well.

Recently, the importance of supplying the reliable electric power is increasing. Breaking insulation of stator winding is major cause of fault in rotator machine. On-line PD detecting is useful technique to diagnose rotator machine. However, interpretation of its results in time domain is very complex because of the mixed results with PD(Partial Discharge) and noise signal. Therefore, the results were analyzed in frequency domain by FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) to detect precise PD signals. The purpose of this paper is to describe the optimal frequency range to discriminate the PD and noise signal.

Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools for detecting and evaluating faults in electrical equipment. However, interpretation of DGA results is often complex and should always be done with care, involving experienced insulation maintenance personnel. KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Cooperation) has been using DGA technique since KEPCO established the criteria of DGA in 1985. In this paper, we introduce the DGA criteria of KEPCO and analyze the result of DGA. Also we sort pattern in result of DGA. Then, relation between pattern and inner inspection was studied. 67 DGA data was used for analyzing pattern. Some patterns have something to do with cause of incipient fault.
