Metal oxide varistors (MOVs) protect circuits and devices from transient overvoltages in electric power systems. However, a MOV continuously deteriorates owing to manufacturing defects or repetitive protective operations from transient overvoltages. A deteriorated MOV may result in a short circuit or a line-ground accident. Previous studies focused on the analysis of deterioration mechanisms and condition diagnosis techniques for MOVs owing to their recent growth of use. An accelerated deterioration experiment under the same conditions in which a MOV operates is essential. In this study, we designed and fabricated a surge generator that can apply a surge current to a MOV connected to AC mains. The coupling network operates at a low impedance against the surge current from the surge generator and transfers the surge current to the MOV under test. It also acts as a high impedance against AC mains for the AC voltage not to be applied to the surge generator. The decoupling network operates at a high impedance against the surge current and blocks the surge current from AC mains. It also acts as a low impedance against AC mains for the AC voltage to be applied to the MOV under test. The prototype surge generator can apply the 8/20 us up to 15 kA on AC voltages in the approximate range of 110~450 V, and it fully operates on a LabVIEW-based program.

The ground potential rise generated by the switching surge or lightning stroke may be dangerous to personnel and cause damage to electronic control parts. For a first step to the transient performance analysis. high frequency impedances of grounding grids have been calculated and discussed. Grounding grids include 7 square grids from $10m{\times}10m$ to $80m{\times}80m$. The high frequency current was injected into the center and a corner of the grounding grid. The calculation results indicate that the impedance of the grounding grid is significantly influenced by frequency and the point of injection of the current. and the effective radius of a large grounding grid may be represented in $15{\sim}20m$.

Sheath circulating current is increased as the change of sheath mutual impedance which is caused by imbalance of cable system, and different section length between joint box. If excessive current flows in sheath. sheath loss will be increased and then transmission capacity of underground transmission system is reduced. Accordingly, This paper proposed sheath current reduction device using resistor and reactor and proved the reduction effect of that device using EMTP/ATP. And also in this paper, when transients are occurred at the underground system with reduction device by ground fault and lightning surge. we analyzes transient effect of system variously. From this result. authors establish the protection methods of sheath circulating current reduction device.

Lightning and switching surges propagating through the grounding conductors lead to transient overvoltages, and electronic circuits in information technology systems are very susceptible to damage or malfunction from the electrical surges. Surge damages or malfunctions of electrical and electronic equipment may be caused by potential rises. To solve these problems, it is very important to evaluate the ground surface potential rises and hazardous voltages such as touch and step voltages at or near the grounding systems energized by electrical surges. In this paper, the performance of grounding systems against the surge current containing high frequency components on the basis of the actual-sized tests is presented. The ground surface potential rises and hazardous voltages depending on impulse currents for vertical or horizontal grounding electrodes are measured and analyzed. Also the touch and step voltages caused by the impulse currents are investigated. As a result, the ground surface potential rises, the touch and step voltages near the grounding electrodes are raised and the conventional grounding impedances are increased as the front time of the injected impulse currents is getting faster.

This paper presents a numerical algorithm for fault location estimation which used to data from both end of the transmission line. The proposed algorithm is also based on the synchronized voltage and current phasor measured from the PMUs(Phasor Measurement Units) in the time-domain. This paper has separated from two part of with/without shunt capacitance(short/long distance). Most fault was arc one-ground fault which is 75% over [1]. so most study focused with it. In this paper, the numerical algorithm has calculated to distance for ground fault and line-line fault. In this paper, the algorithm is given with/without shunt capacitance using II parameter line model, simple impedance model and estimated using DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) and the LES(Least Error Squares Method). To verify the validity of the proposed algorithm, the EMTP(Electro- Magnetic Transient Program) and MATLAB did used.

This paper describes the correction of the protective relay equipped in the dedicated line used for connecting distributed generators (DG) to power grid. The fault current measured in a relaying point might be changed according to the fault conditions. Generally, the fault current of the line to line fault or the line to ground fault at the dedicated line is much higher than the protective set value due to the large fault level. However. when the high impedance fault is occurred in the dedicated line, we may not detect it because its fault level can be lower than the generating capacity of DG. And, the protective relay with conventional set value may generate a trip signal for insertion of DG due to the large transient characteristics of generators. Through the various simulations such as the fault in the dedicated line and the insertion of DG, we show that it would be necessary to modify the protective relay set value for detecting the high impedance fault occurred in the dedicated line and for preventing the mis-operation of protective relay caused by the insertion of DG.

This paper describes the correction strategy of an overcurrent relay applied in the linked line for interconnecting wind farm with utility power networks in order to improve the capability of a fault detection. The fault current measured in a relaying point might vary according to the fault conditions. Generally, the current of the line to line fault or the line to ground fault in the linked line is much higher than the set value of protective relay due to the large fault level. However, when the high impedance fault occurs in the linked line, we can't detect it by conventional set value because its fault level may be lower than the generating capacity of wind farm. And, the protective relay with conventional set value may generate a trip signal for the insertion of wind turbine generators due to the large transient characteristics. In order to solve above problems and improve protective relaying algorithms applied in the linked line, we propose a new correction strategy of the protective relay in the linked line. The presented method can detect the high impedance fault which can't be detected by conventional relay set value and may prevent the mis-operation of protective relay caused by the insertion of wind farm.

본 논문에서는 전자과도현상 해석 프로그램인 ATPDraw를 이용한 사례연구로써 인체에 전격이 가해지는 순간의 과도현상을 해석하였다. 사례연구를 위한 2가지 전격 모델은 최악의 환경을 조성하고자 수중에서 발생하는 것으로 가정하였으며, 첫째, 인체가 수중에서 전원설비의 노출 충전부에 접촉하였을 경우와 둘째, 인체의 수족이 수중에서 동시에 대지에 접촉하는 경우를 모델링하였다. 모델링 후 각 사례에 대해 인체의 각 부위에서의 계산된 전압, 전류를 비교하여 전격 순간의 과도현상을 해석하였다. 첫 번째 모델에 대한 해석 결과, 인체가 수중 노출충전부에 촉수시 순간적인 과도현상이 발생하며, 이때의 전압, 전류는 촉수 전후보다 현저히 증가되는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 이 현상은 지속시간이 매우 짧아 통전전류와 시간의 적이 안전한계 이내임을 감안할 때, 수용가의 상용전압에서의 전격의 영향은 그다지 크지 않을 것으로 사료된다. 두 번째 모델에서는 인체의 수족이 대지에 동시에 접촉했을 경우, 접촉 순간 인체에 유기되는 전압의 크기는 전반적으로 감소되었으나, 가슴 부위를 통과하는 전류량이 급증하였다. 그러나 그 크기가 작고 지속시간이 짧아 인체에 미치는 전격의 영향은 미미할 것으로 사료된다. 결국 두 경우 모두 전압의 크기, 인체 임피던스에 따라 전격의 영향이 좌우될 것으로 판단된다.
