In recent years electric devices and telecommunication facilities were often damaged by surge generated lightning discharge. When the service was interrupted by failure of electrical devices due to surge the social loss is very enormous. Therefore in order to protect electrical systems against lightning, SPDs(Surge protective device) have been used But damaged SPDs often make some troubles like fire and interrupt of service. In this work, 3rd harmonic leakage current defection method was applied as the diagnosis of SPD degradation and the effectiveness of this method was verified by field survey.

Lightning surge damages of low voltage equipments in building are increasing due to increase in electrical and communication networks in the information-oriented society. And electronic equipments contained electrical circuits with semiconductor are very weak against lightning surge. The surge protective devices for electronic circuit in electronic equipments and AC power lines are becoming more widely. To achieve effective method of surge protection, there are needs for correlation between lightning surge protective effect of electronic equipment and installation method of surge protective device. This paper describes as a result of experiments for correlation between lightning surge protective effect and installation of surge protective device and Earth Leakage Breaker.

Surge protective devices(SPDs) are widely used as a most effective means protecting the electrical and electronic equipment against overvoltages such as lightning and switching surges. When installing SPDs, it is essential that the voltage protection level provided by SPDs should be lower than the withstand voltage of the equipment being protected. But even the proper selection of SPDs are achieved, the voltage at the equipment terminal may be higher than the residual voltage of SPD due to the reflection and oscillation phenomena. This paper was focused on the investigations of the conditions for which the equipment is protected by an SPD taking into account the influences of the protective distance and type of load. The protective effects of SPD with voltage-limiting component were analyzed as functions of types of load and protective distance between the SPD and load. As a result, in the cases of long protective distances, capacitive loads and loads with high resistance, the voltage at the load terminal was significantly higher than the residual voltage of SPD. It was found that the proper installation of SPDs should be carried out by taking into account the protective distance and type of load to achieve reliable protection of electronic equipments against surges.

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.

In order to effectively protect electrical and electronic circuits which are extremely susceptible to lightning surges, multi-stage surge protection circuits are required. This paper presents the operational characteristics of the two-stage hybrid surge protection circuit in extra-low voltage DC power lines. The hybrid surge protective device consists of the gas discharge tube, transient voltage suppressor, and series inductor. The response characteristics of the proposed hybrid surge protective device to combination waves were investigated. As a result, the proposed two-stage surge protective device to combination wave provides the tight clamping level of less than 50V. The firing of the gas discharge tube to lightning surges depends on the de-coupling inductance and the rate-of-change of the current flowing through the transient voltage suppressor. The coordination between the upstream and downstream components of the hybrid surge protective device was satisfactorily achieved. The inductance of a de-coupler in surge protective circuits for low-voltage DC power lines, relative to a resistance, is sufficiently effective. The voltage drop and power loss due to the proposed surge protective device are ignored during normal operation of the systems.

This paper presents a method of simulating the protection effects of surge protective devices(SPDs) depending on the protective distance and types of input impedance of load to be protected. In order to analyze the protective performances of voltage-limiting type SPDs associated with the reflection and oscillation phenomena, the terminal voltage across load being protected and the residual voltage of SPDs were simulated by using EMTP model as functions of the protective distance and types of input impedance of loads. As a consequence, SPDs should be installed by taking into account the protective distance and input impedance of loads to achieve reliable protection of electrical and electronic equipment from lightning and switching surges. It is expected that the simulation method proposed in this paper could be practically used in design for installing SPDs in low-voltage distribution systems.

C-arm fluoroscopy is useful equipment in interventional pain management because it helps to guide correct needle targeting for the accurate injection and drug delivery. However, due to increased use of C-arm fluoroscopy in various pain procedures, the risk of radiation exposure is a significant concern for pain physicians. The harmful biological effects of ionizing radiation on the human body are well known. It is therefore necessary to strive to reduce radiation exposure. Lead aprons with thyroid shields are the most fundamental radiation protective devices for interventional procedures, and are very effective. However, the operator's radiation safety cannot be guaranteed because pain physicians seem to lack sufficient interest, knowledge, and awareness about radiation safety. Also, inappropriate care and use of radiation protective devices may result in a higher risk of radiation exposure. The purpose of this article was to review the literature on radiation safety with a focus on lead aprons and thyroid shields and present recommendations related to those devices during C-arm fluoroscopic-guided interventions by pain physicians.

This paper presents experimental results obtained from actual installation conditions of surge protective devices (SPDs), with the aim of understanding the coordination of cascaded Class I and Class II SPDs. This paper also proposes effective methods for selecting and installing coordinating cascaded SPDs. The residual voltage of each SPD and the energy sharing of an upstream Class I tested SPD and a downstream Class II tested SPD were measured using a $10/350{\mu}s$ current wave. In coordinating a cascaded voltage-limiting SPD system, it was found that energy coordination can be achieved as long as the downstream SPD is a metal oxide varistor with a higher maximum continuous operating voltage than the upstream SPD; however, it is not the optimal condition for the voltage protection level. If the varistor voltage of the downstream SPD is equal to or lower than that of the upstream SPD, the precise voltage protection level is obtained. However, this may cause serious problems with regard to energy sharing. The coordination for energy sharing and voltage protection level is fairly achieved when the cascaded SPD system consists of two voltage-limiting SPDs separated by 3 m and with the same varistor voltage.

개별세대 내 정보통신기기 및 홈네트워크 장비증가로 인하여 서지보호장치(SPD : Surge Protective Device)가 설치되고 있고 산업규격개정 및 등전위 접지시스템 강화에 따라 서지보호기 사용량은 점진적으로 증가하고 있다. 주택용 분전반에 설치되는 서지보호기의 부품은 전압제한형 소자인 $Z_nO$배리스터가 사용되고 있으나 일시적 과전압특성 (Temporary Overvoltage Characteristic) 위험에 노출되어있다. 본 논문은 일반주택에 사용되는 서지보호기의 열적 안전성 (Thermal Stability) 특성시험을 통하여 제품을 분석하였고 이를 토대로 개선안을 제시하였다. 분석결과 누설전류를 차단하기위한 가스 방전관(GDT) 사용 및 열폭주(Thermal Runaway) 현상을 막기 위한 안전장치가 2종 이상 필요하였다.

소형의 반도체와 회로로 구성되어진 전자기기는 뇌과전압으로부터 ZnO 바리스터, 지너다이오드, 가스방전관과 같은 서지보호장치 (SPDs)에 의해 보호되고 있다. 그러나 SPD의 제한전압은 SPD의 설치방법에 따라 커다란 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 전원계통의 접지방식에 따른 SPD의 보호효과에 대하여 실험적으로 검토하였다. 독립접지는 SPD의 설치방법에 있어서 그다지 바람직하지 않다. 또한 가스방전관보다 ZnO 바리스터의 한 점을 공통접지하는 것이 더 효과적이다. SPD의 단자에 공통접지하는 것이 SPD의 설치방법에 있어서 가장 효과적임을 제안하였다.
