The preflashover light emission of the $SiO_2$-dielectric system behavior under high electric field is discussed. Time dependence of the voltage drop, electrical current, and light emission, are analyzed for high-purity $SiO_2$-vacuum systems under impulse voltage stress. We will summarize the experimental results showing the main feature of the time-dependent system response up to breakdown.

다수의 소형 추진모터가 배치된 유도탄의 자세를 제어하기 위해서는 유도탄 비행 중 추진모터를 선택적으로 점화할 수 있는 추력 점화제어기가 필요하다. 점화 제어기가 추진모터 점화를 제어하기 위해서는 수십 채널의 많은 펄스 전류전원이 요구되며, 유도탄 특성상 소형으로 구현되고 고 신뢰성이 보장되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 다채널 펄스 전류원의 고밀도 소형화 회로를 구현함에 있어 6Sigma 방법을 통하여 신뢰성을 분석하였고, 점화전류 확보를 위하여 필요한 회로경로의 최적화된 설계를 다루었다. 통계적 시뮬레이션을 이용한 설계 최적화는 실험결과를 통하여 그 유효성이 확인되었다.

This paper proposes a single-phase unified power quality conditioner (S-UPQC) for maintaining power quality issues in a microgrid. The S-UPQC can compensate the voltage and current harmonics, voltage sag, and swell as a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), regardless of variations in the grid frequency. Odd harmonics are treated as even-order harmonics in a rotating frame to implement the harmonic compensators with only one repetitive controller (RC) without any harmonic extractor. The dynamic performance is improved and the delay time is reduced in the RC. The S-UPQC control scheme is designed to maintain accurate and stable operation under deviations of the grid frequency by using the Lagrange interpolation-based finite-impulse-response (LIFIR) filter approximation method. The proposed control schemes were validated through a simulation and experiment.

When insulators are operated near cement factories, some amount of cement powder may be stuck on the surface of insulators and decreases their electrical performances. Three kinds of insulators, such as, silicone EPDM and porcelain insulators, are tested in this paper. Testing Voltage of 25kV is applied to the samples, and surface leakage current is measured for 6 months after cement solvent of 10 vol% was stuck on the surface of each insulator in the laboratory. Insulation layers are cut from 3 and 6 month-aged insulators and tested for ac breakdown, impulse breakdown, contact angle. After aging, electrical properties are unchanged in silicone and EPDM insulators but show some changes in porcelain insulators.

The Electrical insulation design and testing of high temperature superconducting (HTS) coil for high temperature superconducting fault current limiter (HTSFCL) has been performed. Electrical insulating factors of HTS coil for HTSFCL are turn-to-turn, layer-to-layer. The electrical insulation of turn-to-turn depends on surface length, and the electrical insulation of layer-to-layer depends on surface length and breakdown strength of L$N_2$. Therefore, two basic characteristics of breakdown and flashover voltage were experimentally investigated to design electrical insulation for 6.6㎸ Class HTSFCL. We used Weibull distribution to set electric field strength for insulation design. And mini-model HTS coil for HTSFCL was designed by using Weibull distribution and was manufactured to investigate breakdown characteristics. The mini-model HTS coil had passed in AC and Impulse withstand test.

This study was investigated for searching a cause of flashover failure of polymer insulator and preparing countermeasures. Hydrophobicity, microstructure and chemical structural change of polymer weathershed were studied by polymer characterization methods. In addition, the electrical properties such as power frequency dry flashover voltage/impulse voltage tests, contamination characteristics were carried out. The hydrophobicity of polymer weathershed was decreased significantly and cracks were observed on the surface. Also, the electrical characteristics did not satisfy the KEPCO specification. The failed polymer insulators showed the more leakage current than 4 years service-aged ones. From the result, it can be concluded that the flashover failure of polymer insulator was attributed to the surface aging and severe contamination.

This paper deals with the design rule and performance results of the transient voltage blocking devices (TBD) for low-voltage mains on shipboard. The proposed TBD consists of metal oxide varistors (MOV) and L-C filter to improve noise-elimination performance. Three kinds of TBDs are fabricated and tested by using a combination surge generator which can produce the standard impulse current of 8/20${\mu}$s 2.1kA. As a reults, the proposed TBD with series L-C filter has more excellent transient blocking and noise reduction performance than the conventional TBDs.

Due to the miniaturization of electrical components and assembles on signal and telecommunication circuits, transient overvoltages caused by switching operation or lightning surge has become more interesting concern to the field of electrical engineering. This paper describes the development of transient voltage blocking devices (TBDs) that can protect sensitive signal and telecommunication devices from overvoltages. Two kinds of TBDs are designed and tested by using a combination surge generator which can produce the standard impulse current of 8/20${\mu}$s 2.1kA according to the IEC 1000-4-5 standard. From the simulation and experimental reults, it is confirmed that the proposed TBD has an enough protection performance in low insertion loss and tight clamping voltage.

This paper deals with the dielectric behaviors of $SF_{6}$ gas and prebreakdown growth caused by lightning impulse voltages in inhomogeneous field perturbed with a fixed needle-shaped protrusion on the electrode. The measuring interpretation of the external current induced by moving charges is described. The temporal growth of prebreakdown is obserbed by using a shunt and photomultiplier. The prebreakdown processes are initiated by the first streamer corona at a needle protrustion, the flashover of the main gap in the positive polarity is very sensitive to the local field and propagates into the gap with the leader mechanism. It is found that the dependence of the prebreakdown phenomena on the polarity of applied voltages is caused by the effect of space charges. In addition, the proposed measuring techniques are very useful to perform the measurements of avalanche currents, corona discharges in inhomogeneous fields ad partial discharges in voids.

In this paper, an active magnetic bearing(AMB) system is designed and controlled using a digital Proportional-Integral-Derivative(PID) control concept. The plant dynamics consisting of actuator and rigid rotor dynamics are described. A digital PID controller with a global control and a local control concept is designed and implemented using digital signal processor. Some experiments are conducted with each global control and local control concept. These include start-up test, impulse test, whirl response, and generator load test. The experimental results and comparison between those of a global control and a local control indicate that the global control of concept has impressive static and dynamic control performance for the prototype considered. From the whirl test, the developed system set can be controlled within about $\pm10\mu\textrm{m}$ gap variation at the rotational speed of 6000rpm and generate the AC power of frequency of $60\textrm{Hz}$, voltage of 100V and current of 0.8$\textit{A}$.
