This paper deals with the effective protection method for the household electric appliances against lightning surges invading from the Power lines. Direct or induced lightning is the main cause of the breakdown of household electric appliance. The most effective protection method is to install SPDs(surge protective devices) at household electric appliances. If SPDs were not installed at most household electric appliances, it is necessary to install SPDs on the mains. Therefore the propagation aspect and protection methods of lighting surges coming into household electric appliances through the mains was experimentally investigated. The in actual-sized test circuits results of protection method for 8 household electric appliances including computer monitors and TV set could be summarized as follows: The breakdown characteristics of household electric appliances from lightning surges were significantly changed with the their input impedance. Namely, the types of input impedance are classified into infinite, resistive or inductive impedances. Especially, the monitor for computer with inductive input impedance from lightning surges was relatively weak against lightning surges. It was confirmed that the self inductance of branch circuits on the mains have protection effect for household electric appliances against lightning surges invading from the power lines. Also the varistors installed at cabinet panel or circuit-breaker were more effective than multi-tap outlet with varistors. When installed varistors in cabinet panel and multi-tap outlet together, the surge protection effect is much more excellent in technical and economical aspects.

The AC power lines and signal lines of info-communication networks are routed on overhead poles and are highly exposed to lightning strikes. Due to the potential difference between grounding points of AC power lines and signal lines, the electronic equipments connected to the signal lines can easily be damaged by lightning surges. In this work, in order to develop reliable methods of protecting information and communication facilities from lightning surges, the reliability and performance of SPDs (surge protective devices) were experimentally investigated in an actual-sized test circuit. The behaviors of SPDs against lightning surges from AC power lines and signal lines and the coordinated effects of SPD installation methods were evaluated. As a consequence, it was confirmed that the bypass arrester methods and common grounding system are both highly effective.

국내의 저압수용가 대부분은 한국전력공사의 TN-C접지방식으로부터 공급받고 있으나 부하설비는 TT 접지방식을 위주로 한 전기설비기술기준에 따라 시설되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 정보기술설비를 뇌서지로부터 보호할 수 있는 적절한 전원계통접지방식을 제안하기 위해서 TT, TN계통의 뇌서지에 대한 보호성능을 연구하였다. 그 결과, 뇌서지가 배전계통의 중성선에 입사한 때 TT계통의 기기접지단자와 전원선의 중성점 사이에 높은 전위차가 발생하였으며, 예민한 컴퓨터설비가 손상될 위험성이 있으므로 TT계통은 적합하지 않다. 뇌서지로부터 저압 설비를 보호하기 위해서는 등전위본딩이 중요한 요건이며, TN계통이 중성선을 통하여 입사하는 뇌서지의 저감에 가장 우수하였으며, 수용가 인입구에서의 추가접지도 바람직한 방법이다.

정보통신망 신호선로는 전원선과 더불어 가공선로로 구성되어 있어 뇌서지에 대한 노출이 심각하다. 전원선로의 접지와 통신선로 접지 상호간에 나타나는 전위차로 인하여 통신선에 접속된 전자장비는 뇌서지에 의해 쉽게 손상될 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 뇌서지로부터 정보통신설비를 신뢰성 높게 보호하는 기법을 개발할 목적으로 실규모 회로에서 서지보호장치의 성능과 신뢰성에 대한 실증실험을 수행하였다. 전원선과 통신선을 통하여 입사한 뇌서지 에 대한 서지보호장치의 동작특성과 보호장치의 설치방법이 뇌서지 보호효과에 미치는 협조특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 정보통신설비용 뇌서지 보호장치를 바이패스 어레스터를 이용한 공통접지법으로 설치하는 것이 매우 효과적임을 확인하였다.

Signalling equipments at railroad sites are widely exposed to high voltage lightning surges. This paper presents a lightning protection system for the signalling equipments at subway car depots. The main features of the system are as follows : (1)the common grounding system between power system grounds and the signaling system grounds, (2)physical and chemical methods to reduce grounding resistivity, (3)rearrangement of lightning rods based on the rolling bal1 theory, (4)equi-potential bonding networks to minimize the potential differences between the equipments grounds. The system has been constructed at six subway car depots in Seoul metropolitan area and it is measured that the grounding resistivity are reduced to 0.266 ohms and the potential differences between devices are reduced to a negligible quantity. After the construction of the systems, it has not been reported the break-down of the signalling equipments caused by lighting surges.

A strong need to improve the quality of electric power is increased because of increasing use of the sensitive and small-sized electronic devices. The surges on the low-voltage ac power lines are induced by nearby lightning return strokes, and the facilities for HA, OA, FA, ME as well as computer are easily damaged by high-voltage transients. The behaviors of lightning surge characteristics transferred from the primary winding to the secondary winding in distribution transformers using a Marx generator were experimentally investigated. The transfer characteristics of lightning surge associated with a custom service ground of secondary side were also examined.

This paper deals with n rise in electric potential of telecommunication line for electric power system by lightning surges. When $1.2/50{\mu}s$ and $8/20{\mu}s$ impulse voltage and current were applied on telecommunication cable, the voltage waveforms at the end terminal and equipment were measured. The telecommunication lines, which consist of 60 conductors and 3.5km in length, have some surge protectors such as preposition lightning arrester and TVSS. In each case, the rise in electric potential was measured for differential mode and common mode, respectively. Also, the rise in ground potential and the induced voltages were measured and analyzed. As a result, a significant rise in ground potential was observed for lightning surge. It can cause failure or malfunction of telecommunication systems.

This paper deals with the surge counter drived by lightning and switching currents. In order to install the effective surge protective devices, it is important to find the parameters of incident surges. In this paper, for the purpose of protecting the electronic circuits and counting the occuring frequency, the current driving type surge counter is designed and fabricated. The surge counter consists of surge protective divices, current detector, metal oxide varistor(MOV), rectifier, capacitor, and electromagnetic counter. This surge counter is able to count the occuring frequency of surges and to clamp lightning surge current. To evaluate the performance of the surge counter, impulse voltage and current were applied at the surge counter by the surge generator. As a result, applied surges were exactly counted and clamped.
