The metal oxide varistor (MOV) is a major component of the surge protection devices (SPDs) currently in use. The device is judged to be faulty when fatigue caused by the continuous inflow of lightning accumulates and reaches the damage limit. In many cases, induced lightning resulting from lightning strikes flows in to the device several times per second in succession. Therefore, the frequency or the rate at which the SPD is actually exposed to stress, called a surge, is outside the range of human perception. For this reason, the protective device should be replaced if it actually approaches the end of its life even though it is not faulty at present, currently no basis exists for making the judgment of remaining lifetime. Up to now, the life of an MOV has been predicted solely based on the number of inflow surges, irrespective of the magnitude of the surge current or the amount of energy that has flowed through the device. In this study, nonlinear data that shows the damage to an MOV depending on the count of surge and the amount of input current were collected through a high-voltage test. Then, a failure prediction algorithm was proposed by preparing a look-up table using the results of the test. The proposed method was experimentally verified using an impulse surge generator

This paper reports the stability against surge of ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$-CoO-$Cr_2O_3-Er_2O_3$-based varistors sintered at different sintering temperatures. As sintering temperature increases, the varistor voltage decreased in the range of 412${\sim}$266 V and the nonlinear exponent decreased in the range of 61${\sim}$50. Meanwhile, the stability against surge with surge peak current of 100 $A/cm^2(8{\times}20{\mu}s)$ exhibited to be good on the whole.

For the purpose of designing and applying optimum surge protection, one of the essential points is to take into account the energy coordination between cascaded surge protective devices(SPDs) and it is important to obtain an acceptable sharing of the energy stress between two cascaded SPDs. In this paper, in case of two voltage-limiting SPDs connected in parallel, the amount of splitting impulse current and energy that flow through each SPDs is investigated as a function of the protective distance. As a result, the energetic coordination between cascaded SPDs is strongly dependent on the voltage protection level of SPDs and the protective distance. It was confirmed that the sharing of the energy between two cascaded SPDs and the limited voltage levels are appropriate when the voltage protection levels of both upstream and downstream SPDs are the same.

The arc fusion faults in the distribution lines are occurred by lightning surge, stress corrosion and substance touching. Arc fusion fault by lightning surge is one of the most frequent occurrence. In this report, we studied the mechanisms of the Arc fusion faults. Also, we analyzed the reduction effects for surge voltage of lightning protective equipments.

This study investigates the seismic performance of the surge tank which is of the atmospheric type and constructed above the ground. For that purpose, three different numerical models of the surge tank have been taken into account. Two models are constructed to describe the surge tank with different support conditions: one is to model all supports as fixed, and the other is to use spring element for the rock conditions. The third model is constructed to describe not only the surge tank with spring element of the rocks but also the vertical waterway tunnel. Through the time-history analysis of the surge tank subjected to three artificially excited ground motions, it is demonstrated that there can be much difference between the three models of our interest according to the support conditions and inclusion of the vertical waterway tunnel. However, their seismic performances still remain below the safety criteria, i.e., dynamic allowable stress. Also, the numerical results let us know where the critical sections occur. These results could be used to develop the efficient seismic enhancement method for the surge tank.

태풍해일의 변동양상과 특성을 파악하기 위하여, 한국 남해안의 7개 검조소의 조석관측자료와 기상자료를 사용하여 태풍 Thelma 통과기간 중 각 항에서의 추산조위와 해일을 추정하여, 시간영역별 기상 및 해면변동에 관한 EOF분석을 하고 태풍해일, 기압, 바람응력의 spectrum분석을 실시하였다. 반폐쇄성 만(여수)인 경우 바람응력이 기압보다 해일발생에 큰 영향을 미치며, 개방된 항만(제주)은 기압이 해일에 큰 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 해일의 값은 13.1~91.7cm 범위로서 여수에서 최고치를 보였다. 태풍 Thelma 통과시 EOF 제 1 모드는 전체 해일변동의 63%를 차지하였고, 제 1 모드에 수반된 해일의 시간변동은 18 시간 동안 쌍봉의 peak를 가진 변동을 보였다. 제 1 모드에 대한 남해안 7개 지점에서의 해일의 공간적 변동은 여수를 중심으로 동시에 해면이 상승하였다. 남해안 4개항(부산, 충무, 여수, 제주)의 해일, 기압 및 바람응력 spectrum의 peak 에너지는 0.008-0.076cph(약 3-10시간)의 저주파수대에 밀집되어 있고, 해일의 경우 여수와 제주에서 에너지 밀도가 크게 나타났다. 기압의 에너지 변동은 탁월하지 않았으며, 바람응력은 부산, 여수, 제주에서 에너지 밀도가 잘 나타났다. 또한, 세 변동성분의 자기상관은 해일의 경우 주기적 변동을 나타내었고, 기압과 바람응력은 모두 불규칙적인 상관을 보였다.

The recent advancement in the power electronic technique has increased the use of induction motor fed by inverter using high-frequency switching devices. Also the tendency is toward larger size and higher voltage. Therefore, The IGBT (Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor) that is high switching frequency element has been using increase. But, The switching surge voltage was occurred by high switching frequency of inverter has appeared a voltage doubling in the motor input terminal due to mismatching of cable characteristic impedance and motor characteristic impedance. Actually, The Switching surge voltage became the major cause to occur the insulation failure by serious voltage stress in the stator winding of induction motor. The short during rise time of switching surge and cable length is increased, the maximum transient voltage seen at the motor terminals increases. In this paper, Analyzed switching surge transient voltage of power cable pulling is used EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program) at the induction motor terminal and in cable.

This paper dealt with melting characteristics of low-voltage miniature cartridge fuse used for 220 V electronic equipment. The experimental sample is low-voltage miniature cartridge fuse with rating of 250 V(3A) and size of $5{\times}20$ mm. In order to evaluate melting and scattering characteristics of the fuse, we applied to 8/20 ${\mu}s$ surge current, overload current and external thermal stress such as flame of fire. From the experimental results, the fuse element was melted and scattered by applied surge current(above 0.79 kA) and overload current(above 4.5 A). It was also attached to the inner surface of the fuse tube. The fuse element was attached as a thin film on inner surface of fuse tube when large surge current was applied. It was confirmed, however, the fuse element was not changed by external thermal stress such as flame and hot-air.

The storm surges caused by the typhoon Brenda in 1985 were studied by analysing tidal observation data at 7 stations along the south coast of the Korean peninsula. The tidal deviation at these stations along the coast are discussed in association with meteorological data. The sea level anomalies were studied by means of the Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis and the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) method. From the result of EOF analysis, the temporal and spatial variations of storm surge were described by the first mode of EOF, which is $73\%$ of the total variances during the passage of typhoon Brenda. From the results of FFT spectral analysis, the peak energy of the autospectrum for surge, atmospheric pressure, and wind stress appeared in the low frequency fluctuations band. The result of FFT analysis showed that the typhoon surge was related chiefly to the atmospheric pressure change in an open bay such as Cheju and Keomundo harbor, while it was influenced mainly by the wind stress in the semi-enclosed waters of Yeosu, Chungmu and Kadukdo.
