The accidents caused by dielectric instability have been increasing in power grid. It is important to enhance the dielectric reliability of a high voltage apparatus to reduce the damage from electrical hazards. To develop an electrically reliable high voltage apparatus, the experimental study on the electrical breakdown field strength is indispensable, as well as theoretical approach. In this paper, the lightning impulse breakdown characteristics considering utilization factors are studied for the establishment of insulation design criteria of an high voltage apparatus. The utilization factors are represented as the ratio of mean electric field to maximum electric field. Dielectric experiments are performed by using several kinds of sphere-plane electrode systems made of stainless steel. As a result, it is found that dielectric characteristics are affected by not only maximum electric field intensity but also utilization factors of electrode systems. The results are expected to be applicable to designing the air-insulated high voltage apparatuses.

Apartments covered with a metal roof made from galvalume steel are prevailing due to their economic and technical advantages. The metal roof, however, has disadvantages in terms of the installation of air-termination system on it because of the slip thickness of the metal roof. In this paper, the impacts of the lightning current to a metal roof were verified experimentally with a short lightning impulse current (10/350[${\mu}s$]). Also, we developed various supporters of air-termination conductor for the metal roof and verified their excellent workability and economical strength through field application test.

This paper studies the validity about a joint operation of neutral wire and overhead grounding wire in combined distribution systems. The overhead grounding wire and neutral wire are currently installed separately and grounded by common. However there is no any ineffectiveness or electrical problem in case of the proposed system, such system can be operated at real distribution system. Therefore this paper describes the suitability of a joint operation through lightning surge analysis on combined distribution systems. Lightning surge analysis is carried out by EMTP/ATPDraw to obtain the overvoltage of overhead line and underground cable in various conditions such as locations and current types of lightning stroke. Overvoltage gained by the analysis show that the insulation strength of the joint operation case is not stable compare with the current operation case.

The record type receivers that are operated in large industrial sites have strength in preventing fire. However, because of its long circuit lines and multiple detectors, the receivers are vulnerable to lightning, noise, and breakdown of equipments, resulting in malfunction. In case of malfunctioning of detection circuits of main protection areas, such as electrical room and server room, potential release of gaseous extinguisher agents may lead to property and life damage. In this paper, we present the results on the characteristics of the transponder that initiates the solenoid valves, with respect to various electromagnetic and lightning inflow conditions. Based on the measured data, we analyzed the systematic problems of the transponder. In order to prevent receiver malfunctions, a sequential circuit was configured with two additional transponders and a timer. The circuit was tested with a simulator with preference and delay circuit algorithms.

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) gas is used widely in electric power equipment such as Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS), Gas Insulation transmission Line (GIL), and Gas Circuit Breaker (GCB). But applications of SF₆ should be restricted because SF6 gas is one of the greenhouse effect gases. To reduce use of SF₆ gas, a study on eco-friendly alternative insulation medium is needed. In this paper, we investigated lightning impulse (LI) breakdown of dry-air which is attracting attention as an ecofriendly alternative gas and the LI breakdown of hybrid insulation combined with dry-air and solid insulation (Room-Temperature Vulcanizing Silicone Rubber-RTV SIR) and dry-air in inhomogeneous fields according to gap distance and pressure. The experiment results showed that the LI breakdown strength of hybrid insulation system was higher than that of dry-air insulation system. It was verified that the development of technology related to eco-friendly power apparatus compact such GIS, GCB and GIL can be used as basic research data.

To develop electrically reliable high voltage apparatuses, the experimental study on the electrical breakdown field strength is needed, as well as theoretical approach. In this paper, lightning impulse breakdown characteristics considering utilization factors are investigated for the establishment of insulation design criteria of an high voltage apparatus. The utilization factors are represented as the ratio of mean electric field to maximum electric field. Dielectric experiments are performed by using five kinds of sphere-plane electrode systems made of stainless steel. As a result, it is found that dielectric characteristics are affected by not only gap length but also utilization factor of electrode systems. The results are expected to be applicable to the design of high voltage apparatuses.

This paper describes that the evaluation on operation practicality of Al conductor cable will be used instead of Cu conductor cable. Analysis is divided into two kinds of cases as transmission and distribution. To evaluate that Al conductor line has the insulation strength indeed safely, various analysis and calculation such as single line-to-ground fault current, lightning surge and allowance current were carried. Model was established based on real combined transmission and distribution is being used in utility with EMTP. The analysis results on Al and Cu conductor line were compared each other. It was proved that Al conductor line can be operated instead of Cu conductor line without special insulation problem in transmission and distribution, in electrical view point such as overvoltage and allowance current.

모의 낙뢰시험에 의해 충격손상을 입은 탄소섬유강화플라스틱(CFRP) 복합재료의 잔류압축강도를 평가하는 시험(CAI) 중 손상부의 거동을 음향방출(AE)법으로 관찰하였다. CFRP 시편은 ITO 나노입자를 탄소섬유에 직접 코팅한 CFRP prepreg를 이용하여 만들었고, 모의 낙뢰시험은 고전압 대전류 인가장치(ICG)를 이용하여 시편에 10~40 kA의 충격파 전류를 인가하여 실시하였다. ITO 나노입자 코팅의 효과와 인가전류의 세기에 따른 손상영역의 크기와 잔류압축강도를 AE 거동과 연관하여 평가하였다. 손상영역의 크기는 초음파 C-scan 영상을 이용하여 측정하였으며, AE events 수와 AE event가 발생하기 시작할 때의 압축응력 수준을 연관시킨 결과 ITO 나노입자 코팅 CFRP의 경우 상대적으로 손상이 작고 훨씬 높은 용력수준에서 AE가 발생하기 시작하였다. CAI시험 중 AE측정은 실제로 낙뢰손상을 입은 복합재 동체 구조물의 손상된 정도를 구별하는 데 유용한 지표로 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 지상에서 전장의 세기를 측정하는 것에 의해 낙뢰 예측이 가능한 뇌경보시스템을 개발하였다. 뇌경보시스템은 전장센서로써 회전형 필드밀, 임피던스변환기, 2단 증폭기 및 마이크로프로세서로 구성되어 있다. 교정 실험결과로부터 뇌경보시스템의 주파수대역과 최대 분해능은 각각 $DC{\sim}200\;[Hz]$, 73[V/m]이었으며, 뇌운에 의한 대지전장의 세기를 18.7 [kV/m]까지 측정할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 실제 상황에서 본 뇌경보시스템의 감지능력을 평가하기 위하여 뇌운의 모델을 이용한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며. 그 결과 관측점으로부터 6 [km] 이내에 접근하는 뇌운의 움직임을 관측할 수 있었다.
