In this paper, the effects of earth continuity conductor are deeply analyzed for reducing the level of induced sheath voltage at the single point bonded sections. The various installation conditions of an earth continuity conductor are considered including conductor dimensions, its spacing from the three phase cables, and utilization of two earth continuity conductors when the grounding fault occurs on real power cable systems. Finally, the transient characteristics including reduction effects of induced sheath voltage are proved by EMTP simulations. The optimal installation condition of earth continuity conductor is also proposed based on those results.

The distributed jointing method is used in the underground tunnel due to narrow space of jointing. This method causes non-uniform length between cable joints. It has an effect on the sheath circulating current and the induced voltage. Furthermore the distributed jointing method may cause transient overvoltage resulting from lightning in underground cable which is connected with overhead line. The author diversely studied the sheath circulating current and induced voltage on underground cable depending on the distributed jointing length under the normal and the transient circumstances. The various simulation results really improve the cable system utility.

Length of most underground power cable in nation is not so long. Therefore it is operated without conductor transposition due to low unbalanced ratio. However, if cable length is long, line constant of each cable will be different. Different line constant can induce unbalanced voltage and current of sheath. Also it can induce several induced interference. This paper describes the operation effectiveness through steady and transient analysis on transposition and untransposition of cable conductor. Especially sheath current and induced voltage are analyzed and compared in case of transposition and untransposition. EMTP is used for modeling and analysis.

This paper describes the analysis of sheath circulating current and various methods to reduce the large circulating current in case of operating cable system using EMTP/ATPDraw. And also, possible methods are proposed through a detailed analysis regarding cable systems by considering various electrical and environmental factors. It is evaluated that the proposed reduction methods can be effectively applied to reduce the large sheath circulating over current with the minimized electrical problems.

In this paper, the lightning-induced voltages on shielded twisted-pair wires with multipoint grounding on cable sheath are calculated by using finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method. The equivalent single-wire line that represents a bundle of twisted-pair wires is adopted for computational efficiency. A finitely conducting ground is also taken into account in both lightning electromagnetic field calculations and surge propagation along the shielded cable for a practical simulation. It is found that multipoint additional grounding on cable sheath provides more shielding effectiveness especially in the early time response of the lightning-induced voltages. From this study, the requirements for lighting surge protection devices in a telecommunication subscriber cab1e can be established.

When a deployed probe is biased by a high positive potential during a space experiment, the payload is induced to a negative voltage in order to balance the total current in the whole system. The return currents are due to the responding ions and secondary electrons on the payload surface. In order to understand the current collection mechanism, the process was simulated with a combination of resistor, inductor, and capacitor in SPICE program which was equivalent to the background plasma sheath. The simulation results were compared with experimental results from SPEAR-3 (Space Power Experiment Aboard Rocket-3). The return current curve in the simulation was compatible to the experimental result, and the simulation helped to predict the transient plasma response to a high voltage during the plasma sheath formation.

This paper describes the surge calculations on cable cores and sheaths when an unit step surge is applied in a cable core. It is clear that the maximum core voltage appears at the ending point and maximum sheath voltage is induced at the sending points. It appears that the smaller grounding resistance can offer results having some trends which larger core voltage appears at the end point and smaller voltage is induced at the sending point.

Receltly, Underground transmission system is getting increased. Therefore the design of grounding system becomes very important to discharge overcurrent of lightning and fault through earth and reduce sheath induced voltage and sheath circulation current. This paper describes fault current distribution ratio for grounding line with grounding types of normal joint box and sheath grounding resistor at line-to-ground fault of cable.

This paper discusses the effects of ECC (Earth Continuity Conductor) for reducing the level of induced sheath overvoltages at the single point bonded section of combined transmission lines which are mixed underground power cable with overhead line in one T/L. In previous papers, the characteristics of ECC on only underground power cable systems were sufficiently analyzed. However, the result of only underground power cable systems are totally different from that of combined transmission lines because ECC is commonly grounded with overhead grounding wire at mesh of cable head. Therefore, in this paper, the installation effects of ECC have been variously analyzed considering the three kinds of fault positions, cable formation of duct and trefoil, spacing between phase conductor and ECC, and the change of overhead transmission line section length on 154kV combined transmission line. Finally, simulation results show that ECC can effectively reduce the induced sheath voltage.

Dielectric breakdown accidents have been mainly occurred in the vicinity of service entrance section in underground power transmission systems. One cause among them is due to the excessive component value of sheath located around service entrance of cable. In this paper, as one of the alternative to prevent these accidents, the change of cross bond grounding system and the location change of IJ(Insulation Joint) are suggested. Also, to evaluate effectiveness of this changing system, circulating current and induced voltage of sheath were analyzed in steady and transient state. By comparison of the analytical results for the several possible changing systems, a grounding system and location of IJ which has the smallest sheath component values is proposed. In this paper, analysis to evaluate the proposed system is carried out by EMTP/ATPDraw. It can be used as a valuable operational material to prevent accident of the service entrance section in underground power transmission system.
