Characteristics of a heater-triggered switch has been analyzed through the simulations and experiments. It was for the charging of Bi-2223 double pancake load with 1.7 mH and two heaters were used. The timing of the sequential control and the heating current with two heaters are important factors to generate pumping-current. The thermal analysis of the switch considering the heater input and time was carried out. Based on the analysis just mentioned. heater-triggered switch was fabricated. Characteristic analysis was carried out through two modes having different sequential timing controls. Maximum pumping-current reached 18 A and the pumping rate was 113 mA/s at that time.

Generally, previous converter is divided into two categories to get high power factor and good output regulation. These two categories can be combined a category with a main switch. These converter is called Single Stage PFC Converter. This approach has good electrical characteristics of high power factor and fast output voltage regulation. The cost and size are important factor to design the converter in low power system. Even single stage can reduce the size and cost, but this approach needs to have additional circuit like control, PWM circuit. To improve these demerits, Top switch is one of good choice In reduce and size in low power single stage converter. Because it has the ability of current limit, thermal protection, oscillator, control circuit as well as a main switch ability.

A Hybrid Fault Current Limiter(FCL) which has more advantages in fast response and thermal characteristics than a simple resistive FCL had been proposed by our group. The Hybrid FCL consists of a resistive FCL for the magnitude of the first peak of fault current, and a fast switch for detecting fault current and generating the repulsive force within a cycle in fault situation. In ideal case, the impedance of the fast switch wound with two other kinds of HTS tape is negligibly zero in normal operation. But, during the fault situation, each HTS tape has different quench characteristics because of asymmetric current distribution. And this phenomenon causes effective flux and this flux opens the switch through the repulsive force applied to a metal plate of the fast switch. The magnitude of the repulsive force affects the switching characteristics of the fast switch. It should be large enough to raise the metal plate up. Otherwise the arc re-out break which are caused by not enough repulsive force to raise the metal plate up can cause unintended operation of the fast switch. In this paper, the numerical calculation of the repulsive force applied to the metal plate of the fast switch in various combinations of HTS tapes was performed by using the short-circuit test and finite element method.

In order to design thermally trigger controlled persistent current switch (PCS) for superconducting magnet system, it is very important to know information of applied adiabatic method and condition to get designed resistance and characteristics In this paper, we used cotton-gummed tape as thermal insulator and derived experimentally averaged thermal conductivity of it around 10K on the assumption that adiabatic structure of PCS is shape of pipe. The result value is about 0.29 W/mK and it is verified reasonable value by computer simulation and experiment of test PCS. Test PCS was designed and manufactured different dimensions. The experimental results of test PCS were in good agreement with the calculated results.

In order to design thermally trigger controlled persistent current switch(PCS) for MRI magnet system, it is very important to know informations of applied adiabatic method and condition to get designed resistance and characteristics. Adiabatic part of PCS is consist of cotton-gummed tape and cryogenic stycast. This adiabatic method has the advantage of continuously winding superconducting and adiabatic part of PCS and reducing the time of manufacture. We experimentally derived averaged thermal conductivity on the assumption that shape of adiabatic part of PCS is that of pipe. In result, averaged thermal conductivity is about 0.29 W/m K and designed value is very satisfied with actual experimental data.

Extra-high voltage(EHV) disconnecting switch(DS) consists of the electrical contacts and mechanical parts which actuate the contacts. When the short-circuit condition occurs, a large amount of current flows through the electrical contact in disconnecting switches and this causes considerable temperature rise due to Joule heating. If the temperature rise is higher than the melting point of contact material, the DS contact becomes melting and cannot be usable anymore. For this reason, the analysis for capability of carrying short-circuit current in DS contacts must be performed at a design stage. Here, we proposed a numerical technique for evaluating the capability of carrying short-circuit current at electrical contacts in EHV DS. In this numerical approach, the mechanical and thermal analyses were simulated to check the capability of carrying short-circuit current. First, the applied pressure at contact parts was analyzed considering the mechanical properties, and then contact resistance was calculated by an empirical equation. Finally, thermal analysis was performed with resistance variation at electrical contacts. To verify these numerical results, the distributions of temperature in DS were experimentally measured and compared with each other. The results from experiments were agreed well with those from the proposed numerical simulations.

In order to reduce driving power consumption, we propose and fabricate a new structure of asymmetric SOI 1${\times}$2 thermo-optic switch that has a back side silicon trenched structure. Compared to conventional SOI thermo optic switches without heat sink structure, it shows an improvement of switching power reduction from about 4 watt to 1.8 watt without sacrificing cross talk of about 20 ㏈ at the light wavelength of 1.55 $\mu\textrm{m}$. Here we also described the main design consideration and fabrication procedure for the proposed device.

In this paper, we have proposed a principle to design a compact and temperature independent electro-optic switch based on a slotted photonic crystal directional coupler (SPCDC). Infiltration of the slotted silicon photonic crystal with polymer enhances the slow light and decreases the switching length, whereas the different signs of thermo-optic coefficients of the polymer and silicon make the proposed switch stable within $25^{\circ}C$ to $85^{\circ}C$ temperature range. The SPCDC structure is modified to increase poling efficiency of the polymer in the slot and to flatten the dispersion diagram of the even mode to minimize the switching length.
