The ZnO surge arrester is the protective device for limiting surge voltages on equipment by diverting surge current and returning the device to its original status. The occurrence of overvoltage appears in any phase to AC power supply system and it appears in mixing AC and impulse voltages, moreover because HVDC power supply system uses converter in semiconductor, it makes mixed DC and high harmonics voltages. In this study, the various mixed AC and DC voltages was made for investigating the degradation effect of ZnO arrester according to mixed voltage. As a result, the increase of DC component to mixed voltages causes the increase of resistive component of total leakage current to ZnO block. In changing V-I curve for mixed voltages, the cross-over point acts a factor as making the proper capacitor size of an equivalent circuit for ZnO block.

Bi-based nano-varistors and micro-varistors fabricated with each ZnO nano-powder and micro-powder were studied about characteristics on the surge capability in this study. ZnO nano-varistors were sintered in air at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr. The voltage-current and residual voltage properties of ZnO nano-varistor were compared with their of ZnO micrio-varistor. As a result of these properties, our ZnO nano-varistor has about 3 times at operating voltage as compared with conventional ZnO varistor fabricated with micro-powder and the residual voltage was 8.06 kV at nominal discharge current 101kA in the lighting impulse current test. And then the residual voltage rate 1.72 of our nano-varistor has had better performance than the 1.79 of micro-varistor because ZnO nano-varistor has shown much quick response property because of increasing effective cross-section area. Also, to analysis surge capability took thermal images for pyrexia temperature distribution with each of the varistors after operating varistors. Nano-varistor doesn't have shown local overheating and can confirm accurate temperature grade on the surface of its.

Cascaded applications of surge protective devices(SPDs) are required in order to reduce the stress on the electrical and electronics equipment being protected, and the energy coordination between the cascaded SPDs is very important. This paper deals with the experimental results obtained from the installation conditions of full-scale SPDs. The energy coordination between the upstream Class I SPD and the downstream Class II SPD was measured using a $10/350{\mu}s$ impulse current due to direct lightning flashes. The distances between the cascaded SPDs were 3, 10, and 50m, and the maximum test current was 12.5kA. As a result, the energy sharing between cascaded SPDs was dependent on the voltage protection level of each SPD and the distance between two SPDs. An overview of how to select SPD ratings in applications of cascaded SPDs system was discussed based on the energy coordination between the two SPDs. The proposed test results for the energy coordination between two-stage cascaded SPDs can be used in effective applications of SPDs.

For the purpose of designing and applying optimum surge protection, one of the essential points is to take into account the energy coordination between cascaded surge protective devices(SPDs) and it is important to obtain an acceptable sharing of the energy stress between two cascaded SPDs. In this paper, in case of two voltage-limiting SPDs connected in parallel, the amount of splitting impulse current and energy that flow through each SPDs is investigated as a function of the protective distance. As a result, the energetic coordination between cascaded SPDs is strongly dependent on the voltage protection level of SPDs and the protective distance. It was confirmed that the sharing of the energy between two cascaded SPDs and the limited voltage levels are appropriate when the voltage protection levels of both upstream and downstream SPDs are the same.

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

Due to the miniaturization of electrical components and assembles on signal circuits, transient overvoltages caused by switching operation or lightning surges have become more interesting concern to the field of electrical engineering. In this paper, the development of surge protective devices(SPDs) that can protect sensitive signal device on shipboard from overvoltages are described. Two kinds of SPDs 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 61000-4-5 standard. From the simulation and experimental results, it is confirmed that the proposed SPDs have an enough protection performance with a low insertion loss and a low clamping voltage.

일반적으로 접지시스템에서 접지저항계산은 저주파수의 전원이 대지에 인가될 때 발새외는 대지전위상승을 측정하여 계산한다. 그러나 뇌격과 써지 엄펄스와 같은 고주파수에 해당하는 전원에 대해서는 현재의 접지 시스템에서 고려하고 있지 않기 때문에 전기설비에 매우 큰 영향을 미칠 우려가 있다. 그래서 이 논문에 서는 뇌격이 전극봉에 인가되었을 때 발생되는 접지 임피던스의 과도현상을 실험하였다. 그리고 이 실험 결과는 이론적 해석과 잘 일치하였으며 지중방전현상이 임펄스 임피던스 저감에 영향올 미친다는 사실을 확인 할 수 있었다.

J-E 특성 AC 임피더스 분석 그리고 주파수- 전도 특성들을 실험하여 임펄스 전류 서지가 ZnO 바리스터의 열화(degradation)에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. ZnO 바리스터 시편에 임펄스 전류(300A/$cm^24, 8/50$\mu s$)를 인가시킨 결과, 입계(grain boundary) 특성을 나타내는 비선형계수 $\alpha$와 E\ulcorner\ulcorner의 값은 크게 감소하였으나, 입자 특성을 나타내는 E_{100A}, E_{300A}$ 값에서는 큰 변화가 없었다. 이러한 열화 현상은 입계의 위치한 부성 전하 밀도, $N_s$의 감소에 한 쇼트키 장벽의 변화에 기인한 것으로 나타났다. 임펄스 서지에 의해 열화된 ZnO 바리스터는 AC 임피더스 분석에서 현저한 non-Debye 특성을 보이며, 이는 병렬 RC 네트워크로 모델링한 Cole-Cole 완화 관계식으로 입계의 열화 특성을 잘 설명할 수 있었다. 주파수-전도도 관계를 검토한 결과 Zno 바리스터는 호핑 전도(hopping conduction),\$sigma(\omega)\varpropto\omega^{\eta}$ 특성을 나타내면, 임펄스 서지가 인가된 이후 n 값이 감소하였다. 이는 임펄스 서지에 의해 입RP 결합 상태(defect states)가 호핑 전도가 발생하기 쉽고 다중(multiple)호핑에 의한 전도 메커니즘을 갖는 것으로 고찰되었다.

In this paper, in order to analyze lightning impulse response characteristics in combined installations of SPDs and RCDs, surge protection coordination between SPDs and RCDs are experimentally investigated by using the combination wave generator. Six different types of single-phase residual current operated circuit-breakers with integral overcurrent protection for household and similar uses(RCBOs) being present on the domestic market are tested according to KS C IEC 61009-1 standard. As a result, when a class I SPD is located on the source side of an RCBO, all kinds of specimens are able to provide the proper coordination between the SPD and RCBOs without nuisance tripping, unintended operation or damage due to test impulse currents. However, in the case that the class II SPD is located on the load side of RCBOs, a lot of L-N mode injected currents is split into the RCBO, and a few RCBOs are damaged. Coordination between SPDs and RCDs is not valid and a role of SPDs is of no use. When combining SPDs with RCDs, it is necessary to select SPDs and RCDs in consideration of the protection voltage level of metal oxide varistor embedded in RCDs.

The microstructure, electrical, and clamping voltage characteristics of ZPCCD-based varistors were investigated at sintering time of 2 and 3 h. The average grain size and density of varistor were increased from 15.2 to 19.0 and from 5.5 to 5.6 $g/cm^3$ with sintering time, respectively. The nonlinear exponent was 65.4 for 2 h and 37.4 for 3 h, and leakage current was 0.54 ${\mu}A$ for 2 h and 0.67 ${\mu}A$ for 3 h. The dissipation factor was 0.0397 for 2 h and 0.0457 for 3 h. The clamping voltage ratio at surge current($8/20{\mu}s$) of 10~300 A was increased in the range of 1.56~2.17.
