The breaker noise is one of the main noise sources of construction site. It is very important to assess and measure the breaker noise accurately, because the noise labelling will be in effect January 2008 in Korea. Therefore, It is necessary to measure the sound power level of breakers and use a appropriate test method in accordance with international standard. In this study, we measure the sound power level of breakers by using the breaker noise measurement system. This system makes it possible to measure the breaker noise more accurately than to measure the noise of that attached with excavator, because this system can control main factors affecting breaker noise such as hydraulic input power, hydraulic supply pressure, breaker inlet oil flow and so on.

In railways powered by AC power, the main circuit breaker (MCB) is used for supplying the electric power to the catenary of the vehicle. Generally, the main circuit breaker is located between the pantograph and the main transformer, and the phase of the power applied to the vehicle changes according to the operation timing of the main circuit breaker. The operation of the main circuit breaker should be actively controlled according to the phase of the power source, since the phase of the power causes unintended transient states in the vehicle's electrical system in the form of an inrush current and surge voltage. However, the MCB has a delay time when it operates which is not constant. Therefore, an intelligent controller is needed to predict the operation delay time and control the opening and closing of the MCB.

Main functions of Generator Circuit Breaker(GCB) is cut the generator off from the main transformers and the aux. transformers when plant trip or startup. In this paper, the design requirements For GCB of nuclear power plant is examined. NRC presented the area of review, acceptance criteria and review procedures of GCB in the SRP(Standard Review Plan). In Korea, APR1400 adapted the GCB in main power system.

Transient of Electric railway vehicle occurs when change to another state. The duration of the transient phenomenon only takes a few second. During this time is considered, the present of short circuit current and the normal state, the energy is present in the form of a magnetic field. Recognized by the vibration of the transient voltage or transient current at witch energy is present in the field. This paper is presented the result of transient characteristics by transformer % impedance at the time of opening and closing of the main circuit Breaker on the electric railway vehicle.

This paper describes the analysis of the effect on personnel computer in case of turning off power supply of main breaker in general electrical installation. In order to analyze the effect on personnel computer in case of turning off the power supply of main breaker, the switching impulse generator has been designed and fabricated which makes it possible to evaluate the effect on electrical product by switching impulse. The switching impulse tests were carried out for personnel computer according to applied voltage and number of switching impulse. As a consequence, switching impulse had not a significant influence on personnel computer in this study. The varistor of power input section functions as a protection of switching impulse as well as lightning impulse. The results will be used to related organization, and electrical product manufacturer, and residents.

Hydraulic breaker attached excavator generally used for the destroying and disassembling of buildings, crashing road pavement, breaking rocks at quarry and etc. The developed breaker are determined their own destructive force and number of impact by the input hydraulic flow rate and pressure than the operating conditions, In this study, the characteristics of pressure variation in closed vessel is invested for testing the impact energy of hydraulic breaker. To test the impact energy, the test system is designed as a mechanism consisted with a hydraulic cylinder, main base, pressure sensor, LVDT, data acquisition system and etc.. The developed test system is applied to measure the impact energy for hydraulic breaker. The proposed testing method could be applied for conventional impact test and the control system evaluation for hydraulic breakers.

The rate of rise of the fault current in DC grids is very high compared to AC grids because of the low line impedance of DC lines. In AC grids the arc of the circuit breaker under current interruption is extinguished by the zero current crossing which is provided naturally by the system. In DC grids the zero current crossing must be provided by the circuit breaker itself. Unlike AC girds, the magnetic energy of DC grids is stored in the system inductance. The DC circuit breaker must dissipate the stored energy. In addition the DC breaker must withstand the residual overvoltage after the current interruption. The main contents of this paper are to ${\cdot}$ Explain the theoretical background for the design of DC circuit breaker. ${\cdot}$ Develop the simulation model in PSIM of the real scaled DC circuit breaker for 1,800V DC railway. ${\cdot}$ Suggest design guidelines for the DC circuit breaker based on the experimental work, simulations and design process.

The latest development flow of MCCB(Molded Case Circuit Breaker) is largely separated from which are high capability of interrupting compact of size and multi-ability in functions. As follow of development of industrial system. MCCB which are including communication function and having a ultimate interrupting capability is required in electrical system. to attain an effective limitation of the peak let-through current and the let-through energy, the arc has to move rapidly off the contacts and has to increase the arc voltage which mainly effect to interrupt. In this paper. we made high performance circuit breaker which including current limiting unit which is attached to the main which is simulated by CAE tool that are repulsion force and mechanical dynamics after that we tested and finally selected optimized for circuit breaker.

IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) 62271-100 has been adopted for the design test of circuit breaker which is used as the main protecting device of power system. But, it is also necessary to separately receive the testing certificate in accordance with ANSI/IEEE standard for getting into the american market. Up to now, several domestic companies have completed the ANSI/IEEE testing in medium circuit breaker of distribution system, but they recently started the ANSI/IEEE testing in ultra high-voltage class of transmission and substation system. This paper introduces the testing techniques and its results for the making and breaking performance of 145kV, 40kA $SF_6$ gas circuit breaker which was firstly performed in KERI(Korea Electrotechnology Institute) by the ANSI/IEEE standard.

A software, called touch-one, is developed about the determination of short-circuit values and protective co-ordination in power system. The used solution algorithm reviewed intensively, and the protective co-ordination determination technique presented by using the circuit-breaker's current-limitation characteristic. The protective coordination concerns the behaviour of two devices placed in series in an electrical network, with a short-circuit downstream circuit-breaker. It has two basic principles: First, discrimination which is an increasing requirement of low voltage electrical distribution systems. Second, which is less well known: cascading, which consists of installing a device, whose breaking capacity is less than the three-phase short-circuit current at its terminals and helped by main circuit-breaker. With this software, we can construct a electric-power system which is reliable and economic according to user's purpose.
