This paper describes the design and development of a novel semiconductor-based solid-state switch for damped oscillating voltage test system. The proposed switch is configured as two identical series-connected switch stacks, each of which comprising 10 series-connected IGBT function units. Each unit consists of one IGBT, a gate driver, and an auxiliary voltage sharing circuit. A single switch stack can block 20 kV-rated high voltage, and two stacks in series are proven applicable to 30 kV-rated high voltage. The turn-on speed of the switch is approximately 250 ns. A flyback topology-based power supply system with a front-end power factor correction is built for the drive circuit by loosely inductively coupling each unit with a ferrite core to the primary side of a power generator to obtain the advantages of galvanic isolation and compact size. After the simulation, measurement, and estimation of the parasitic effect on the gate driver, a prototype is assembled and tested under different operating regimes. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the developed prototype.

This paper dealt with the fabrication of a partial discharge (PD) analyzer for insulation diagnosis of power facilities like transformers, cables and gas-insulated switchgears. An analytic algorithm for the phase (${\phi}$), the magnitude (q), and the pulse count (n) of PD pulse was designed and a time-frequency (TF) map algorithm was applied in the system to eliminate noises by analyzing the time and the frequency component of signals. All the algorithms were operated by a LabView graphical program. The detection circuit consists of a coupling capacitor, a detection impedance, and a low noise amplifier. A plane-plane and a point-plane electrode system were fabricated to simulate different types of insulation defects. In the experiment, we could easily understand the characteristics of PD pulses using the prototype PD analyzer.

ATP(Automatic Train Protection) system in railway signaling system is the important one grasping the position and velocity of a train. The wayside transmitter of ATP system is installed between rails. In concrete slab track, the signal current using wayside transmitter of ATP system is influenced by reinforcing bars. The magnetic coupling between reinforcing bars and wayside transmitter of ATP system as a filter makes an input current distorted. So, it makes an alternating current signal with a desirable size not transmit to on-board system of a train. Way to decrease the distortion of an input current signal frequency is to avoid maximum induction current frequency. And the induction phenomenon between reinforcing bars insulated and wayside transmitter of ATP system does not occur. In this paper, we represent the model about wayside transmitter of ATP system and reinforcing bars on the concrete slab tracks, and calculated the parameters demanded for the model. Also, we demonstrated it through the Maxwell program. Furthermore, we calculated impedance on wayside transmitter used in KVB system and ERTMS/ETCS system which are a kind of ATP system, frequency response of induction current, using the Matlab, and demonstrated the validity of it, using the PSpice program.

콘크리트 슬래브궤도에서 ATP시스템 지상자를 이용한 신호 전류는 철근에 의해 신호전류에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 즉, 콘크리트 슬래브궤도에서 ATP시스템 지상자와 철근의 자기적 결합은 하나의 필터로 작용하게 되어 입력전류신호에 왜곡을 주게 된다. 그리고 결국 왜곡된 신호에 의해서 열차의 차상자에 잘못된 신호가 전송될 수 있다. 입력전류신호의 왜곡을 줄이기 위한 방법으로 철근에 유도되는 전류와 주파수를 구하여 해당 주파수를 ATP시스템의 지상자 주파수로 사용하지 않거나, 철근을 절연시켜 철근과 ATP시스템 지상자간에 유도현상을 억제할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 콘크리트 슬래브궤도에서 ATP시스템의 지상자와 철근의 모델을 전기적으로 표현하였고, 모델에 요구되는 값들을 Maxwell 프로그램을 이용하여 구하였다. 또한 모델로부터 ATP시스템인 KVB시스템, ERTMS/ETCS시스템에서 사용하고 있는 지상자의 주파수에 대한 지상자의 임피던스 및 철근의 유도전류를 계산하였다. 이를 Matlab 및 PSpice 프로그램으로 타당성을 입증하였다.
