This paper presents the behaviors of transient and conventional grounding impedances of a 30m counterpoise according to the injection point of lightning impulse currents. As a result, the trend of the conventional grounding impedances measured as a function of risetime of impulse current is similar to the transient grounding impedance of counterpoise. The injection point of impulse current greatly influences on the transient grounding impedance characteristics of counterpoise. The transient grounding impedances strongly depend on the injection point and the rising time of impulse current and the soil characteristics.

In order to analyze the electrical performance of ZnO surge arresters stressed by the combined DC and AC voltages that are generated in DC/AC converter systems, the leakage current properties of ZnO surge arrester blocks deteriorated by impulse currents were investigated. The test specimens were deteriorated by the 8/$20{\mu}s$ impulse current of 2.5kA and the leakage currents flowing into the deteriorated zinc oxide(ZnO) arrester blocks subjected to the combined DC and power frequency AC voltages are measured. As a result, the leakage currents flowing through deteriorated ZnO surge arrester blocks were higher than those flowing through the fine ZnO surge arrester blocks and the larger the injection number of 8/$20{\mu}s$ impulse current of 2.5kA is, the greater the leakage current is. The leakage current-voltage curves(I-V curves) of the fine and deteriorated ZnO surge arrester blocks stressed by the combined DC and AC voltages show significant difference in the low conduction region. Also the cross-over phenomenon is observed at the voltage close to the knee of conduction on plots of I-V curves.

This paper describes the evaluation of the long duration current impulse withstand characteristics of ZnO blocks for high voltage surge arresters. Four ZnO varistors were manufactured with the general ceramic production method and the long duration current impulse withstand test, electrical uniformity evaluation test and microstructure observation were performed. All varistors exhibited high density, which was in the range of $5.42{\sim}5.46g/cm^3$. In the electrical properties, the reference voltage of samples was in the range of $5.11{\sim}5.25\;kV$ and the residual voltage was in the range of $8.314{\sim}8.523\;kV$. In the long duration current impulse withstand test, sample No.2 and No.3 failed at the 2nd and 4th shot of series impulse currents, respectively, but the rest survived 18 shots during the test. Before and after this test, the variation ratio of the residual voltage of samples survived was below 0.5 %, which was in the acceptance range of 5 %. According to the results of the test, it is thought that if the soldering method is improved, ZnO varistors would be possible to apply to the high voltage arresters like the station class and transmission line arresters in the near future.

The transient characteristics of grounding systems play a major role in the protection of power equipments, electronic circuits and info-communication facilities against surges which arise from lightning or ground faults. Electronic devices are very weak against lightning surges injected from grounding systems and can be damaged. The malfunction and damage of electronic circuits bring about bad operation performances, a lot of economical losses, and etc. Therefore, in order to obtain the effective protection measure of electronic devices from overvoltages and lightning surges, the analysis of the transient grounding impedances in essential. One of this work is to examine the transient behaviors of grounding impedances under steplike currents for various grounding systems. And the other of this work is to evaluate the transient behaviors of a grid with rods under impulse currents and to investigate the effect of grounding lead wire. Transient grounding impedances of a grid with rods under impulse current waves have been measured as a parameter of the length of the grounding leads. Z-t, Z-i and V-i curves of transient grounding impedance under impulse current waveforms have been measured and analyzed. It was found that the grounding impedance gives the inductive, resistive and capacitive aspects under steplike current. Transient grounding impedance characteristics were very different with shapes, geometries of ground electrodes. Also, they were dependent on the waveform and magnitude of impulse current.

This paper describes the evaluation of long duration current impulse withstand characteristics of ZnO blocks for high voltage surge arresters. Four ZnO varistors were manufactured with the general ceramic production method and three abroad varistors were also prepared to be compared. All varistors exhibited high density, which was in the range of $5.42{\sim}5.49g/cm^3$. In the electrical properties, the reference voltage of all samples was in the range of 5.11~5.72kV and the residual voltage was in the range of 8.314~9.305kV. In the long duration current impulse withstand test, sample 2 and 3 failed at the 2nd and 4th shot of series impulse currents, respectively, but the rest survived 18 shots during the test. Before and after this test, the variation ratio of the residual voltage of samples survived were below 1.7%, which were in the acceptance range of 5%.

Arresters are the best protective device on electrical power systems against transient overvoltages generated by lightning and/or switching operation. Nonetheless, arresters are deteriorated by absorption of moisture in the environments of its use, repetition in the protective operation to overvoltages, and some defects at manufacturing. It is therefore important to estimate the electrical characteristic changes of ZnO blocks. In this paper, an accelerated ageing test by a standard lightning impulse current was carried out to extract parameters needed for arrester diagnosis, and leakage current components were measured. Total energy applied to the ZnO blocks at each time is about 1,050[J] in 8/20[${\mu}\textrm{s}$] impulse current. From the experimental results, we proposed electrical parameters and leakage current level to diagnose arrester soundness.

The nonlinear electrical properties and degradation behavior against an impulse-current of 400 A in the ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$-CoO-$Cr_2O_3$-$Y_2O_3$-$Er_2O_3$ (ZPCCYE) varistors were investigated with different $Y_2O_3/Er_2O_3$ ratios. The $Y_2O_3/Er_2O_3$ mole ratio has a significant effect on nonlinear electrical properties and impulse degradation behavior of the ZPCCYE varistors. The varistors added with $Y_2O_3/Er_2O_3$ = 0.5/0.5 exhibited the best nonlinear properties with 39 in nonlinear coefficient (${\alpha}$) and the best clamp characteristics, in which the clamping voltage ratio (K) was in the range of K = 1.62-2.18 at an impulse-current of 1-50 A. The varistors added with $Y_2O_3/Er_2O_3$ = 0.25/0.5 exhibited the best electrical stability, with $%{\Delta}E_{1mA/cm^2}$=-5.6%, $%{\Delta}{\alpha}$ = 6.7%, and $%{\Delta}J_L$ = -14.6% against an impulse-current of 400 A. On the contrary, the varistors added with $Y_2O_3/Er_2O_3$ = 0.5/0.5 were destroyed applying an impulse-current of 400 A.

본 논문은 임펄스전류가 인가된 매설지선의 과도접지임피던스특성에 관한 것으로 길이가 10, 30, 50 [m]인 3개의 매설지선에 대하여 입 펄스전류의 인가점을 파라미터로 하여 과도접지임피던스와 규약접지임피던스를 측정하고 분석하였다. 임펄스전류의 상승시간에 대한 규약접지임피던스는 과도접지임피던스와 비슷한 경향이었다. 과도접지임피던스는 임 펄스전류의 인가위치에 영향을 크게 밭으며, 짧은 시간영역에서 과도접지임피던스는 매설지선의 길이에 매우 의존적이다. 임펄스전류가 인가된 10[m]의 매설지선은 용량성 특성이었으나 30[m]와 50[m]의 매설지선은 유도성 특성을 나타내었다. 접지도선은 매설지선의 중앙점에 접속하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 밝혀졌다.

Although DC ground resistance is a good index of performance for a grounding system, it does not reflect the grounding performance during the transient states. Besides, impulse ground impedance, which is defined by a ratio of the peak value of transient ground potential rise to the peak value of impulse current, cannot be an absolute performance index due to its dependence on impulse current shape. In this paper, a grounding performance of needle-typed ground rod has been compared with simple ground rod using HIFREQ[1], which is an engineering electro-magnetic code based on MoM (Method of Moment).

In this paper, we present a new impulsive noise detection technique. To remove the impulse noise without detail loss, only corrupted pixels must be filtered. In order to identify the corrupted pixels, a new impulse detector based on rank and value estimations of the current pixel is proposed. Based on the rank and value estimations of the current pixel, the new proposed method provides excellent statistics for detecting an impulse noise while reducing the probability of detecting image details as impulses. The proposed detection is efficient and can be used with any noise removal filter. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms many other well-known detection techniques in terms of image restoration and noise detection.
