To apply the superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) into a power system, the analysis for its recovery characteristics as well as the consideration for its cooperation with other protecting machine such as a circuit breaker is required. The recovery characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL like its current limiting characteristics are dependent on the winding direction of two coils. In this paper, the experiments of the current limiting and the recovery characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL with YBCO thin film were performed. From the analysis on the experimental results due to the winding direction of two coils, the limited fault current in case of the additive polarity winding was observed to be lower than that for the case of the subtractive polarity winding. In addition, the recovery time was found to be faster in case of the additive polarity winding compared to the subtractive polarity winding.

In this paper, a method for analyzing the thermal recovery characteristics of the nozzle of gas circuit breaker was described. In order to obtain thermal recovery characteristics, the transient simulation of SF6 arc plasma within the nozzle was carried out. In particular, the nozzle ablation was taken into account by simultaneously solving the PTFE concentration equation with the governing equations such as continuity, momentum and energy equation. After that, post arc current calculation was performed with the rate of rise of recovery voltage changed. From the calculated post arc current, it was possible to suggest the thermal recovery characteristics of the nozzle of gas circuit breaker.

In a low-voltage distribution system, the molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) is a widely used device to protect loads by interrupting over-current; however the hot gas generated from the arc discharge in the interrupting process depletes the dielectric recovery strength between electrodes and leads to re-ignition after current-zero. Even though the circuit breaker is ordinarily tripped and successfully interrupts the over-current, the re-ignition causes the over-current to flow to the load again, which carries over the failure interruption. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the dielectric recovery process and the dielectric recovery voltage of the MCCB. To determine these characteristics, a measuring system comprised of the experimental circuit and source is implemented to apply controllable recovery voltage and over-current. By changing the controllable recovery voltage, in this work, re-ignition is driven repeatedly to obtain the dielectric recovery voltage V-t curve, which is used to analyze the dielectric recovery strength of the MCCB. A measuring system and an evaluation technique for the dielectric recovery strength of the MCCB are described. By using this system and method, the measurement to find out the dielectric recovery characteristics after current-zero for ready-made products is done and it is confirmed that which internal structure of the MCCB affects the dielectric recovery characteristics.

In this work, the current limiting and recovery characteristics of a flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with series connection of two coils were effectively improved by adding a third winding into the conventional flux-lock type SFCL with series connection of two coils. To confirm the contribution of the third winding to the current limiting and recovery characteristics of this type of the SFCL, short-circuit testing was carried out with consideration of the third winding, and the effect of the third winding on the current limiting and recovery characteristics was examined by comparative analysis of the amplitude of the limited fault current and the power burden of the high-TC superconducting (HTSC) element comprising the SFCL. Through the analysis of both the limiting impedance and the operational current as the main design parameter of the SFCL, the improved current limiting and recovery characteristics of the flux-lock type SFCL using the third winding could be verified.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors affecting the level of subjective health recovery among injured workers. The aim in this study was to find an efficient worker's compensation service for subjective health recovery among injured workers. Methods : From the 1st panel study of worker's compensation insurance, data for 2,000 injured workers was analyzed with SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0. Results : There was a statistically significant difference in the level of self-perceived health recovery depending on socio-demographic characteristics, disability characteristics and medical care services. Factors such as gender, education level, socio-economic level, disability level, claim duration, and treatment duration appropriacy affected the level of self-perceived health recovery. Conclusions : Worker's compensation services should take into consideration the factors that affect the health recovery of injured workers.

The superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using magnetic coupling of two coils with series connection, which was suggested by us, has the merit to increase the operational current and the limiting impedance of the SFCL through the adjustment of the inductance ratio and the winding direction of two coils. In addition, the recovery characteristics of the SFCL is affected by the winding direction of two coils as well as two coils' inductance ratio. In this paper, the fault current limiting and recovery characteristics of a SFCL using magnetic coupling of two coils with series connection were analyzed. Through the analysis based on the experimental results, the recovery characteristics and the current limiting characteristics of the SFCL were confirmed to be improved more in case of the additive polarity winding.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance characteristics of new exhaust heat recovery device for the engine's fast warm-up. In this study, two different interior area designed for prototyping and on the exhaust heat recovery device to evaluate the performance compare the performance characteristics were chosen a better product. A company's product and selected prototype-2 were evaluated and compared the performance. This experiment was conducted under the same conditions. The time from starting to warm-up of engine was measured. As a result, the performance characteristics of the prototype-2 was not higher than that of the A company's product. However, in comparison with base system, prototype-2 of the exhaust heat recovery device discover that the warm-up time was shortened.

We experiment to analyze on current limiting and recovery characteristics of trigger type SFCL as the composition of the contact. Generally, some superconductor of SFCL is relatively largely loaded due to limit the fault current by oneself and recovery time is affected until the fault cleared. However, in the fault, the proposal trigger type SFCL transfer the fault current to current limiting reactor(CLR) using power switch so it could reduce the recovery time and load of the superconductor. However, because of applying the additional power switches, that could generate some power loss. Therefore, to solve this problem, we proposed the composition method of the double contact for a trigger type SFCL and analyzed on current limiting and recovery characteristics for ones.
