An objective of this paper is to develop a partial discharge (PD) measurement device for monitoring gas insulated switches installed in power distribution system. A capacitive voltage probe was studied and designed to detect PD pulse without an electrical connection. The PD measurement device consists of the capacitive voltage probe attached outside of a bushing, a coupling network which attenuates AC voltage by 270 dB, and a low noise amplifier with the gain of 40 dB in ranges of 500 kHz${\sim}$20 MHz. The sensitivity of the prototype device calculated by a calibrator was 1.98 m V /pc. An application experiment was carried out in a 25.8 kV gas insulated switch and the peak pulse of 76.7 pC was detected. From the experimental results, it is expected that the PD measurement device can be applied to online monitoring system of gas insulated switches.

An underground electric switch is a high-voltage switch used in distribution network systems for a reliable power supply. Many studies are being conducted to expand the switch to use an eco-friendly gas using dry air instead of SF6 gas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this study, a flow analysis model was established to improve the performance of an eco-friendly gas switch. The results were compared and reviewed through experiments. For the optimal arc grid design applied to the switch, the flow characteristics based on the flow path configuration and the changes in arcing time for each configuration were compared. Flow analysis can predict the switch flow distribution, and a comparative review of the flow path configurations of various methods is possible.

This paper is to study on the Construction of Test circuit and Unification of Experiment Method for high voltage gas-insulated load switch using high power testing system The high power testing system is a equipment to verify electrical and mechanical performance on electrical product. The system consist of short-circuit generator, back-up breaker, making switch, impedance, high voltage transformer, low voltage transformer, measuring and protection system, etc. Using this system, we can test related to high power, for example, short-time current test, active load Current test, magnetizing Current test, capacitive current test, closed loop current test, etc. Standards of high voltage gas-insulated load switch that is in use domestic distribution line are ES 5925-0002, IEC 60265-1, IEC 62271-1 and IEEE C 37.74, etc. In this paper, we standardized on the test procedure, organization of test circuit and analysis of measured data prescribed many difference standards, and applied this test method to 600[MVA] high power testing system. So that we can test the load switch satisfied standards.

This paper described the partial discharge (PD) measurement techniques for diagnosing gas-insulated switches in overhead power distribution system. A capacitive voltage probe to detect PD pulse was designed and fixed on the surface of a bushing. We also designed a coupling network to attenuate AC voltage by 270 dB, and a low-noise amplifier having the gain of 40 dB and 500 kHz~20 MHz 3 dB. From the calibration, it was calculated that the sensitivity of the measurement system was 0.94mV/pC. In the application experiment, we could measure a PD pulse of 45 pC.

In this paper, the analysis result of the switching surge in substation including GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) has been described using the EMTP(Electro Magnetic Transient Program) program. After performing the modeling of the input data, we have reviewed the energization overvoltages of GCB(Gas Circuit Breaker) without closing resistor in 345kV network, according to the conditions of simultaneously operating switch and statistically operating switch. Firstly, it can be known that the energization overvoltage of single line is higher than that of parallel energized line. Secondly, the maximum energization overvoltage obtained in statistics switch is higher than one in simultaneous switch. From these results, it can be known that the phase-to-earth energization overvoltages of $\alpha$-$\beta$ section are less than 2.2 p.u when closing resistor is eliminated. Therefore, it is possible to consider the circuit breaker eliminated the closing resistor in $\alpha$-$\beta$ section.

This paper provides the results of performance investigation of gas insulated switches(G/S) for distribution power system. In order to investigate anti-contamination capability of G/S we carried out electrical tests and material analysis on the body of G/S and it's accessories. Through this experiment we found out the lead cable of G/S had not anti-contamination capability and G/S had insufficient interval between each phase. In order to improve the performance of G/S for heavy contamination area it is indispensable to replace the lead cable to the new cable which has anti-contamination ability.

The gas insulation switchgear, which is a device for protecting a power system, cannot be supported by the insulation gas itself in a charge unit stored in a metal container. Therefore, molding technology is required to manufacture a gas insulation switch spacer. The APG method injection molding simulation was performed by applying the variables obtained through the physical properties of an epoxy composite used for manufacturing an insulating spacer to a moldflow software. After varying the temperature conditions of heater in the simulation, the thermal characteristics and the degree of hardening of the spacer were analyzed, based on which the optimum process conditions are presented.
