SPDs are increasingly being used against lightning and switching surge according to the applicable revised standard and equipotential grounding system. SPDs are equipped usually with a MOV voltage regulating element. The MOV, however, always is exposed to the danger of thermal runaway resulting from inrushing temporary overvoltage and deterioration. In this paper, the authors made two prototype SPDs built-in Instantaneous trip device and analyzed their limiting voltage through test of the MOV breakdown. As the result of the analysis, the SPDs built-in Instantaneous trip device was proven to be effective for protecting MOV against thermal runaway and Instantaneous trip device react for limiting voltage is considered that is applicable to SPD.

This paper proposed a snubber circuit for flying capacitor multilevel inverter and converter. The proposed snubber circuit makes use of Undeland snubber as basic snubber as basic snubber unit and has such an advantage of Undeland snubber used in the two-level inverter. Comparing conventional RCD/RLD snubber for multilevel in verter and converter the proposed snubber keeps such a good features as fewer number of components improved efficiency of system due to low loss snubber and reduction of voltage stress of main switching devices due to low overvoltage. Furthermore the proposed concept of constructing a snubber circuit for flying capacitor 3-level inverter and converter can apply to any level of them. In this paper the proposed snubber applies to three-level flying capacitor inverter and demonstrates its feature by computer simulation and experimental result.

최근 국내에서 가스절연송전선(GIL : Gas Insulated Transmission Line)의 실계통 도입을 위하여 345kV급 GIL의 개발 및 적용을 위한 연구 및 검토가 수행되고 있다. 가공선로의 일부구간을 GIL로 대치하는 데 있어서, 변전소측이 원거리일 경우에는 변전소 내부의 차단기나 단로기 등 개폐 써지에 의한 과전압의 영향은 감쇄효과로 인하여 그다지 크지 않지만, 현재 설치 예정선로와 같이 변전소 측과의 거리가 약 2.6[km]로 짧을 경우 차단기 동작에 의한 개폐써지의 영향을 무시할 수 없게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 GIL 시스템이 가공송전선로와 연계된 경우 근접한 변전소단에서 개폐를 가정하였을 때, GIL 시스템과 가공송전선로에서 발생할 수 있는 개폐과전압에 대하여 과도해석 프로그램인 EMTP를 이용하여 검토하였다.

최근 배전계통은 통신기술을 접목한 스마트 그리드로 발전 하면서 복잡한 네트워크를 이루고 있다. 이러한 영향으로 계통에서 발생하는 과도현상들 또한 복잡해짐에 따라 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 배전계통에서 차단기가 동작할 때 전원과 부하 사이의 거리에 따라 부하에서 발생하는 과전압 크기와 차단기 개폐 시점에 따라 부하에서 발생하는 과전압 크기를 EMTP(Electro Magnetic Transients Program)를 사용하여 모의하고 그 영향을 분석하였다.

Electrical equipment for railway is always experiencing wear and degradation by mechanical, electrical and environmental stress in service and the fault or the accident of high voltage main circuit directly causes operation interruption. Particularly propulsion drive of high speed switching inverter takes the form of specific degradation mechanism such as fast rising transient surge, reflective overvoltage and harmonic stress, and it is known that it threatens the long life and the reliability of electrical equipment. In this paper, statistics of fault and accident on main electrical equipment for railway are presented and also insulation degradation mechanism, which governs end life of electrical device, is analyzed. Finally the method of fault respondence and reliability improvement on the main electrical equipments will be reviewed in order to prevent operation interruption.

In an electric substation, there are many sources of surge such as switching operations or lightning strokes. A grounding system submitted to such surge current presents very different behaviour from the observed under low frequency current. Especially, it has been reported that significant overvoltage occurs at the current feed-in point, and this may cause damages to other grounded components in the substation area. This paper describes the basic mechanism of improvement of grouding performance in transient state with auxiliary grounding grids.

This paper proposes a new snubber circuit for 4-level inverter and converter. The snubber circuit makes use of Undeland snubber and McMurray efficient snubber as basic snubber unit and can be regarded as a generalized combined Undeland and McMurray efficient snubber. The proposed snubber keeps such good features as fewer number of components improved efficiency due to low snubber loss capability of clamping overvoltage across main switching devices and no unbalance problem of blocking voltage. Furthermore the proposed concept of constructing a snubber circuit for 4-level inverter and converter can apply to any level of converterand inverter.

The ferroresonance characteristics in 3 phase transformer is analysed in this paper using EMTP simulations under the consideration of lateral length of the primary cable. The ferroresonant overvoltage or undervoltage may occur in cable-fed 3 phase transformer when single phase switching is made in relatively remote point from the transformer, and this phenomena is closely related to the lateral length of the cable. This paper shows the voltage characteristics concerned with the transformer ferroresonance and the proper lateral length of the cable for reducing the voltage in 3 phase installation, through some case studies.
