In this study, the results are compared with the case of the concrete with embedded heating wire to verify the performance of the IB made in order to improve the workability and affordability, and to determine the effectiveness of early frost damage prevention. The IB was made using the 5W heating wire and layed on the upper surface of the concrete. The temperature was reduced to below 0℃ approximately within 24 hours, then approached the external temperature thereafter. On the other hand, when the 20W heating wire was used to make the IB and applied the same way, the temperature remained around -2 to 3℃ on the average even through the temperature was reduced to below 0℃, due to the heating wire with relatively large heating capacity. It appeared to reach 85% of the direct heating by embedding the heating wire relatively deeper in the concrete. However, it was determined that using the IB made with the 20W heating wire will prevent the early frost damage to some degree in -10℃.

This paper describes electrical fire on electric pad caused by defect of hot wires. We analyzed two type electric pad using by carbon type hot wire and magnetic shielded type hot wire. First, a carbon type hot wires electric pad is virtually impossible to connect hot wire as a method of electrical welding or soldering. In order to connect between hot wires, that has to splice carbon type material connector. If junction of hot wires was occurrence of poor connection on electric pad, it increase contact resistance on this junction point. With increasing contact resistance, junction of hot wires on electric pad generates local heating and finally leads to electrical fire. An electric pad using by a magnetic shielded type hot wire happened local heating on signal wire for sensing temperature-rise caused by applying current for magnetic shielded. With increasing local heating of signal wire, insulated coating of hot wire was melted. Finally the magnetic shielded type hot wire electric pad lead to electrical fire with breakdown between signal wire and hot wire. In this paper, we analyzed shape of damage in hot wire caused by electrical local heating and investigated fire cause on electric pad due to defect of hot wires.

XLPE cable, which has excellent electrical and thermal performance, has been widely used for HV transmission & distribution lines. The most important thing to produce the cable products having good performance is to set the optimal operating conditions of cable machinery. Because it is very difficult to measure the temperature of cable under curing process practically, it is necessary to evaluate the cable temperature by using the method to simulate real conditions numerically. In this work, We investigate the basic theory on transient heat transfer between curing tube and cable for making a numerical simulation program using computer. In this program, a differential equation is approximated by a infinite differential method and a few assumptions are used to simplify the model and minimize the calculation time of program.

In the system of underground transmission line, the rate of electrical failure is very low, but, if once occuring, the failure evolves into a paralysis of the system, the time of restoration is very long, the damage from stopping of power supply is very serious, and the cost of restoration is very great. Because of these problems, you must try to protect the system and equipment from every electrical failure by contributing much carefulness to the design and operation of the underground system. This study summerizes the results of simmulation tests about the effect of installing this protection device on the insulated joint box and the terminal end box.

In order to meet recent increasing demand for electric power in large cities, plans are being made to introduce 345kV lines into large urban areas. Up to now, OF cables have been used for 345kV fines, but nowadays XLPE insulated cables are preferred as they are easier to maintain due to phenomenal advances in plastic insulation technology, therefore cable manufacturing companies are trying to improve the performance and reliability of UHV CV cables and their accessories. For the purpose, our company has developed facilities for testing UHV cables. In this paper, we describes the methodology adopted for the design and development of a test termination, conducted the electrical test of UHV cables. Based on detailed analytical studies for electrical field distribution, the internal electrical design for the testing end has been carried out.

This paper deals with a novel solid state controller (NSSC) for an isolated asynchronous generator (IAG) feeding 3-phase 4-wire loads driven by constant power prime movers, such as uncontrolled pico hydro turbines. AC capacitor banks are used to meet the reactive power requirement of the asynchronous generator. The proposed NSSC is realized using a set of IGBTs (Insulated gate bipolar junction transistors) based current controlled 2-leg voltage source converters (CC- VSC) and a DC chopper at its DC bus, which keeps the generated voltage and frequency constant in spite of changes in consumer loads. The neutral point of the load is created using aT-configuration of the transformers. The IAG system is modeled in MATLAB along with Simulink and PSB (power system block set) toolboxes. The simulated results are presented to demonstrate the capability of the isolated generating system consisting of NSSC and IAG driven by uncontrolled pico hydro turbine and feeding 3-phase 4-wire loads.

An experimental study on downwardly and upwardly spreading flames over slanted electrical wire, which is insulated by Polyethylene(PE), was conducted with applied AC electric field. The result showed that downwardly and upwardly spreading flames with angle of inclination leaned toward burnt side and unburned side, respectively. With applied AC electric fields, size of downwardly spreading flame decreased slightly and that of upwardly spreading flame increased significantly. Flame spread rate showed various trends in terms of inclination, applied voltage and frequency.

When an underground pipeline runs parallel with DC traction systems, it suffers from DC traction interference. Because the train is fed by the substation through the overhead wire and return current back to the substation via the rails. If these return rails are poorly insulated from earth, DC current leak into the earth and can be picked up by nearby pipeline. It may bring about large-scale accidents even in cathodically protected systems. In this paper we analyze the influence on lead wire method of distributed ICCP(impressed current cathodic protection) systems for mitigation of DC traction interference using the simulation software CatPro.

An experimental study on spreading flame over electrical wire, which was insulated by Polyethylene(PE) and had different diameters, was conducted with applied AC electric field. The result showed that the flame spread rate decreased in increase of the diameter of insulator at a fixed electric field. The flame spread rate exhibited increase or decrease tendency with applied AC electric field, having three distinct regimes depending on applied voltage and frequency. In each regime, the flame spread rate was characterized by physical parameters of applied electric fields and wire dimensions, and the behaviors could be explained by a thermal balance mechanism.

The cross-linked polyethylene(herein after XLPE) insulated power cable emit the methane($CH_4$)gas in the course of chemical cross-linking process. The general stranded conductor easily discharge this methane gas through the gap of each stranded wires. But the special stranded conductor that filled with semi-conducting rubber compound to prevent water penetration which is applied to water proof type of cable(22.9kV CN/CV-W), disturb the methane gas emission. The pre-mold type cable joint shall be expanded gradually by emit of gas left in XLPE insulation. For example, sometimes the corona problem outbreak on a new power distribution line, resulted from the gap between the sleeve and semi-conductive layer of cable joint. If above mentioned problem especially happened on the way of operating. We have to shut down the line and try to discharge the methane gas in cable joint. In this point, we would like to explain the mechanism of methane gas & cable joint and our test result briefly. At last, we are pleased to introduce the solution for preventing reoccurrence of this problem.
