It is made compulsory to install SPD for the purpose of protecting electric and electronic devices when an abnormal voltage such as lightning occurs to power line using power frequency of 60Hz. Recently, the high speed communication technology utilizing power line is receiving attention again as a communication technology for smart grid. The SPD influences the performances of power line communication when using SPD and power line communication system together. In order to improve the performance of power line communication, a proposed scheme for series connection of gas discharge tube to ZnO varistor was presented. This paper measured the impacts of series connection of GDT to SPD using ZnO varistor on the limit voltage of Class III SPD. This paper also presented the DC operating voltage of GDT which satisfies the limit voltage of power line communication system and SPD simultaneously.

A metal sheath provides a cable with electrostatic screening and a degree of magnetic screening. The presence of a screen on a cable also reduces the induction arising from the high-frequency components of transients caused by power-line switching and also induced transients from lightning strokes; such transient induced voltages are of increasing importance with the increasing use of miniaturized telecommunication equipment with very small thermal capacity. This paper describes electrostatic induction and electromagnetic induction caused by power interference. Also screening factors are proposed.

We described the operating principles of two different type of igniters for lightning of Ceramic Metal Halide Lamp(CMHL) and also provide some useful comparisons. One is for magnetic ballast, the other one is for electronic ballast which operates lamp by low-frequency square-waveform. Ignition voltage of lamp depends on the structure of igniter, such as the length and electrical characteristics of cable, which make troubles for ignition in real sites. Therefore, we measured and analyzed ignition voltages from igniters which are used in magnetic and electronic ballast in cables at a distance of 5 meters between a lamp and a igniter to suggests an applicable solution in real sites.

Recently polymer insulators are being used for outdoor high voltage applications. Polymer insulators for transmission and distribution line have significant advantages over porcelain and glass insulators, especially for ultra-high voltage(UHV) transmission lines. Their advantages are light weight, vandalism resistance and hydrophobicity. In this paper, polymer line post insulator has been designed and investigated electric field distribution by FEM. Designed LP insulators have been tested as insulator performance test, such as power frequency voltage test, lightning impulse voltage test, artificial pollution test and flexural load test.

Most adjustable-speed drives(ASDs) designed to operate 220[V] induction motors incorporate voltage-source inverters (VSIs), which create motor voltages at high switching frequencies. The motor leads used to connect an ASD to a motor can behave like transmission lines for voltage pulses, which can be amplified (reflected) at the motor terminals. The resulting oscillatory transient, known as the long-lead effect, can stress and consequently degrade the statorinsulation system of a motor. This Brief describes the results of tests to 1) determine the correlation between peak motor voltage and the length of motor leads and 2) determine the correlation between peak motor voltage and the switching frequency of the ASD Insulation failures like this usually are caused by voltage surges. Voltage surges are often the result of switching power circuits, lightning strikes, capacitor discharges and solid-state power devices.

This paper deals with the two stage surge protection device by using varistor and LC low pass filter. Recently varistor alone has been used with overvoltage protection devices for the AC power mains and has same problems associated with high remnant voltage and noise. In this work, in order to improve the cutoff performance of surge protection device, the lightning surge protection device having two stage hybrid circuit for an AC single phase mains was designed and fabricated. Operation characteristics and surge clamping performance of the surge protection device in an $8/20{\mu}s$ surge current are investigated. As a consequence, it is found that the proposed two stage surge protective device for AC power mains has a variety of advantages such as a smaller clamping voltage, high frequency noise reduction and large clamping capacity.

This paper presents an effective approach for establishing countermeasures against voltage sags based on the concept of area of severity. In order to apply preventive measures against faults such as lightning arrester, overhead earth wires and so on, it is important to find optimal points for installing the preventive measures. The optimal points can be determined by the calculation of the area of severity(AOS) to voltage sags and the expected sag frequency per unit length of line. In this paper, an effective method to find optimal points to apply countermeasures against voltage sags is addressed with case studies.

This paper describes the characteristics of a newly suggested arc-inducing driven rod with needles which could effectively spread out both the failure current with power frequency and the lightning current. The structural characteristic of the driven rod was that needles were attached on the surface of the conventional shaped driven rod and the driven rod with needles was installed inside of a copper pipe.As a result of analyzing the characteristics of this suggested driven rod when it was employed as the driven rod of an arrester in distribution system, it was verified that the primary voltage of the arrester was reduced by effectively exhausting the electrical energy since the arc occurred between the needle and the copper pipe.

In this paper, in order to prevent impulse surge PoE(Power Over Ethernet) communications error caused by natural phenomenon in industrial sites, countermeasure design of impulse surge of PoE communications equipment is suggested by designing dual impulse surge protection circuit. In order to analyze characteristic of impulse surge noise signal, surge generating device which meet international standard IEC 61000-4-5 is invented. And this device shows that surge signal is weakened by designing dual PoE power supply protection circuit by connecting surge generating device to the PoE data transfer line.

The regulatory guide, RG-1.204 and its underlying or confirmatory research, NUREG/CR-6866 were studied for Korean application to LPGS of NPPs. However they excluded the application to that of NPPs. So US-NRC approved selectively industrial standards to that of NPPs on Nov 2005. It is necessary to understand the basis of regulatory technology related regulatory positions on LPGS and important to implement the guidance on LPGS as a resonable standard. The paper is examined what and how state of the art of relevant technology applied to the LPGS as well as the trip-out events related to electrical system were involved with LPGS. We reviewed the relevant standards applicable to Korean NPPs. Following are concluded to recommend. (1) IEEE 510-1050 is recommended as a guide for I&C grounding against EMI and lighting transients (2) IEEE Std-665, 510-666, Std-C62.23 for electrical grounding against voltage surges and lighting transients (3) Inspection should be thoroughly be implemented a frequency of 3-5 year period according to NFPA780 or KSC-IEC 61024.
