In this paper, analysis method for current collection performance based on real-time current of catenary system is proposed. An innovative method based on track-side of railway system is used for measurement of currents for overhead contact line during the collection with pantograph. The evaluation of a qualitative ratio for current collection performance were conducted using proposed algorithm under various conditions such as laboratory and track-side. To check the validity of our approach, we compared between calculation results from current of contact wire and measurement results from arcing of pantograph using simulator in laboratory conditions. The results show that the behavior of current collection performance were analysis from currents of overhead contact line in AC electric railway system.

Over the past few decades, CMOS current comparators have been used in a wide range of applications, including analogue circuits, MVL (multiple-valued logic) circuits, and various electronic products. A current comparator is generally used in an ADC (analog-to-digital) converter of sensors and similar devices, and several techniques and approaches have been implemented to design the current comparator to improve performance. To this end, this paper presents a bibliographical survey of recently-published research on different current comparator topologies for low-power and high-speed applications. Moreover, several aspects of the CMOS current comparator are discussed regarding the design implementation, parameters, and performance comparison in terms of the power dissipation and operational speed. This review will serve as a comparative study and reference for researchers working on CMOS current comparators in low-power and high-speed applications.

Recently developed radars use the solid-state power amplifier to amplify the RF signal. The stability of RF signal directly depends on that of the electric power. So the stable and reliable electric power should be needed. When the electric power switch is tuned on for the first time in order to operate the radar system, the in-rush current is generated because of the capacitive characteristic. The excess in-rush current breaks the element. Therefore, the analysis about the in-rush current to design the electric power system is necessary. In this paper, modeling and simulation on the whole power system is carried out and the necessity of limiting the in-rush current is verified. After the analysis, the circuit to limit the in-rush current is designed and examined to verify the analysis. The circuit is good enough to limit the in-rush current.

As a ZnO varistor is subjected to electrical and environmental stresses, it degrades gradually, which may result in power interruption by short circuit. This study investigates changes in the electrical characteristics of ZnO varistors due to deterioration owing to energy absorption, and determines the optimal parameters for on-line diagnosis of the varistor. Two types of varistors were used for an accelerated aging experiment involving the application of the $8/20{\mu}s$ standard lightning impulse current. The electrical characteristics in terms of the reference voltage, total leakage current, resistive leakage current, and third-harmonic component of the total leakage current were measured, and their change rates were analyzed. The results revealed that the total leakage current increased slightly with an increase in the varistor absorbed energy, while the resistive leakage current and the third-harmonic component increased apparently. Therefore, the third-harmonic component of the total leakage current was proposed as the optimal parameter for on-line monitoring of ZnO varistor conditions.

Electric car tract plays the role of supply high electric power to the electric car from the substation by using Pantograph of the electric car. It is always exposed to the external atmosphere, which results in quite substantial fluctuations in current and voltage during operation of electric car. This generates possibility of occurrence of accident at all times. Since range of wiring metallic globe installed on the catenary cannot achieve complete electrical contact, accidents are occurring due to circulating current caused by arc caused by incomplete contact due to occurrence of hairline fracture of Pantograph due to pressure or vibration of wiring. Furthermore, rapid increase in the operational current due to increase in the operational frequency of the electric car is causing erosion and short circuit of the metallic globe at the contact points. This study on arc is generated as current transmitted out of the substation courses through power line or wiring metallic globe other than the main circuit as the current is being collected at the electric car through feeder and feeder divergence device. Accordingly, since heat generated by the arc becomes the cause for generation of circulating current due to melting of metal or softening of metal due to increase in temperature accompanying increase in contact resistance, this research shall describe causes and measures against occurrence of circulation current.

The influence of electric current on the springback characteristics of AZX311 magnesium alloy and martensitic steel after V-bending test is investigated. Various pulsed electric currents are applied into the specimens followed by a V-bending test, and the changes in the springback angle are measured. In order to evaluate not only the thermal effect but also the athermal effect of electric current on the springback angle, the temperature rises resulting from the applied electric current are measured for all test conditions. As a result, it was found that the springback is significantly decreased as the current density increases. As for the martensitic steel, since the dislocation recovery immoderately occurs at a high electric current density condition of $80A/mm^2$, the optimal current density condition should be required.

We investigated the stability of cryocooler-cooled high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coils by using a computer program based on FEM. In this study, the current at which "thermal runaway" occurs, which depends on the relationship between the cooling power of the cryocooler and the heat generation in HTS coils, was adopted as a stability criterion of cryocooler operating HTS coils. It was shown that cryocooler-cooled HTS coil was stable in operating current above the critical current from the numerical analysis results by HTS model coil. And also, if we efficiently remove the heat generation from HTS coils by potimizing heat drain, the ramp-rate limitation can be mitigated because the effect of AC loss by the current rise was too small. Furthermore, in the case of pulsed operation; the HTS model coil is ramped from zero to the peak value in one second and back to zero current in one second, such as the operation of SMES device, the peak value of poerating current is 1.5-2 times greater than that of the thermal runaway current.

Bi-2223 tapes have been developed for low-field power applications at liquid nitrogen temperature. When the Bi-2223 tapes are used in an application such as a power transmission cable or a power transformer, they are supplied with an AC transport current simultaneously. AC loss taking into account such real applications is a crucial issue for power applications fo the Bi-2223 tapes to be feasible. In this paper, the transport losses for different AC current levels and arrangements of the neighboring tapes have been measured in a 1./5 m long Bi-2223 tape. The significant increase of the transport losses due to neighboring tape's AC currents is observed. An increase of the transport losses caused by a decrease of the Bi-2223 tape's critical current is a minor effect. The measured trasprot losses could not be explained by a dynamic resistance loss based on DC voltage-current characteristics in combination with the neighboring tape's AC currents.The trasport losses do not depend on the frequency of the neighboring tape's AC currents but is arrangements in the range of small current especially.

Numerical study on interactions of waves and currents has considerable practical interests in coastal and ocean engineering. And wave-current interactions strongly influence wave characteristics, current profiles, and forces on offshore structures. Presence of currents affects wave properties such as wave height and wave profiles. Furthermore, in case of the irregular waves, it is more complicated problem. The propose of present study, using the one-dimensional wave-current numerical model is based on the extended Boussinesq equation(Madsen, 1991) and an alternative form of wave-current dispersion relation(Mohiuddin, 1999, 2000) including wave action concept, is to simulate wave propagation in a current field including the irregular waves and discuss applicability of the model in a wave-current field.

This paper deals with the analysis on eddy current losses for cylindrical linear oscillatory actuator (LOA) with Halbach array mover according to voltage waveform. This paper presents analytical procedures for calculation of eddy current losses using Poynting theorem. On the basis of the magnetic vector potential and a two-dimensional (2-d) cylindrical coordinate system, this paper derived analytical solutions of eddy current tosses using phase current analysis. The eddy current losses of each harmonic obtained by fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis of phase current are compared with results obtained from finite-element method (FEM). Particularly, this paper shows that the eddy current losses of cylindrical LOA according to square voltage waveform are more significant than those according to sinusoidal voltage waveform.
