Currently national High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) operating mechanism is made up of spring operating mechanism or hydraulic operating mechanism. On the contrary, advanced technology trend in foreign countries replace current mechanical mechanism with electrical motor-drive mechanism that leads to participate GIS bid and increase sales with the point of simplification of driving system and IT application. Therefor it is essential to develop high voltage GIS using the motor-drive system to develop national heavy electric machine industries and catch up the technology to the advanced level. This paper therefore presents design and analysis of permanent synchronous motor for high voltage GIS, verifies the performance by the experimental test.

This paper describes the development of potential detection system in 22.9kV gas insulated switchgear. This system composed with main system and LPS can detect the source voltage by capacitive potential division which is accomplished by inserting signal electrode between main electrode and earthed metal enclosure of the switchgear. The appropriate position of signal electrode is achieved by numerical analysis using finite element method. The developed potential detection system is verified by several tests such as voltage test, swc test and others and by applicaion at site. From the results, it is concluded that potential detection system is very reliable and available to operate the switchgear safely.

The thermal design of the bus bar of a Gas-Insulated Switchgear(GIS) becomes important since the current-carrying capacity of the GIS is limited by maximum operating temperature. In order to predict temperature rise of the bus bar, a program has been developed. Various heat sources possibly generated in the bus bar are calculated in the program. To estimate temperature rises at the bus bar caused by the heat balance between the heat generation and heat transfer, the finite volume method as well as the $4^{th}$ order Runge-Kutta method has been employed. In the experiments, temperature rises at conductor, contact part and external tank are measured for full-scale gas-insulated bus bars. The comparisons of the predicted values of the heat balance calculation to those of the experiments are made. From the comparisons, it is concluded that the developed program can predict the temperature rise of the bus bar quite well.

This paper describes the insulation breakdown characteristics of 72.5 kV dry-air insulated switchgear under development for installation in a wind power generator when a lightning impulse voltage is applied. For this study, the weak point of insulation due to the electric field concentration of the switchgear's internal shape was identified by finite element method (FEM) analysis, and the shape was actually simulated to measure and analyze the polarity of the lightning impulse voltage and the insulation breakdown characteristics according to the gas pressure at dry-air pressures of 0.1 Mpa to 0.45 Mpa. This study derives the maximum electric field with a 50 % discharge probability for each switchgear internal insulation vulnerable point based on the actual test and electrical simulation, which will be useful as reference data for supplementing and changing insulation design in the future.

The environmental pollution caused by green-house gases such as $CO_2$ and $SF_6$ has been becoming the main issue of industrial society. Many developed countries are making efforts to minimize the amount of $CO_2$ emission come from the operation of high voltage electrical apparatuses. As a part of these efforts, 180 countries signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 to cut back on their green-house gas emissions. Nowadays, the study on the development of dry air insulated switchgear (DAIS) which is known as an eco-friendly electrical apparatus is in progress. A DAIS is advantageous for minimizing the effect of impurities and enhancing the dielectric characteristics over an air insulated switchgear (AIS) by applying constant pressure to an enclosed cubicle. Therefore, a study on the electrical insulation performance of dry air as a gaseous insulation medium is conducted in this paper to substitute a gas insulated switchgear (GIS) for DAIS. As results, it is verified that the AC dielectric characteristics of dry air are similar to those of air and the lightning impulse dielectric characteristics of dry air are superior to those of air at 1bar pressure condition. However, dry air is of inferior dielectric characteristics to $SF_6$ at 4bar pressure condition. Finally, it is suggested that the internal pressure of DAIS should be over 4bar pressure to develop a high voltage switchgear which has similar electrical performance to a conventional GIS. Also, the empirical formulae on calculating the maximum electric field intensity at sparkover of dry air are deduced by experiments according to pressures. It is expected that these results are helpful to design and develop a high voltage electrical apparatus.

In this paper, the UHF PD(Partial Discharge) sensors for $SF_6$ insulated MV $SF_6$ switchgear have been proposed and related investigations have been performed in order to detect the PD which were produced inside the MV $SF_6$ switchgear. Firstly, the internal type UHF PD sensor based on spiral antenna theory has been developed. This type sensor is highly sensitive and has lowly effect on by on-site noise. Secondly, the external type UHF PD sensor was developed based on log periodic antenna concept. This type sensor is removable and detectable for operating switchgear. These sensors were designed and simulated using RF simulation tool. In order to verify the sensitivity of these sensors, we performed the on-site test using the mock-up switchgears including the artificial defects which were the protrusion on high voltage conductor, free moving metal particle and surface defect on insulator. These mock-up switchgear were installed on the test distribution line.
