This paper is purpose to understand the surge property for the shorted turn or shorted strand in high voltage motor stator windings. a shorted turn in high voltage motor windings causes a huge circulating current. and overheat windings, consequently burns the motor. a few shorted strands not cause winding failure immediately, but they increase the winding loss and temperature increase due to contact resistance. We carried out the surge test for three cases, normal winding, shorted turn winding and shorted strand winding. and we analyzed the test result.

The lightning with high voltage and current can enter the basestations for mobile communication through their antenna. The device which can protect the basestation against the lightning, is surge arrestor. In this paper, the concept, kind, operating mechanism, design and fabrication of surge arrestor were studied. Based on the studied data, variable surge arrestors were designed for the current mobile communication service like a cellular, GSM and PCS and the next generation mobile communication like a IMT-2000. Computer simulation for the prediction of their characteristics and inner structure optimization for the improvement of their electrical characteristics were carried with high frequency 3D structure simulator. Quarter wave short stub surge arrestors for IMT-2000 were fabricated with their final design and then the measurement of electrical characteristics and the lightning test were executed. As a results of measurement, we obtained below 1.05 of VSWR, -0.035 dB of insertion loss, -150 dBc of intermodulation and 7∼ll V of residual voltage.

This paper describes the experimental results obtained from various installation conditions of cascaded metal oxide varistor(MOV)-based SPDs with the objectives to analyze the coordination of the cascaded surge protective devices(SPDs) and to propose the proper selection and installation methods of the cascaded SPDs. The residual voltage, discharge current and energy sharing between the upstream and downstream SPDs in the $10/350{\mu}s$ direct lightning current wave were measured and discussed. The coordination of cascaded MOV-based SPDs is closely related to the varistor voltage and installation methods of SPDs. In cascaded SPDs without dedicated decoupling elements, the natural impedance of leads connecting two SPDs can act as a decoupler for the coordination of MOV-based SPDs. Even if the varistor voltage of the upstream SPD is higher than that of the downstream SPD at long distances between two SPDs, the energy coordination of cascaded SPDs could effectively be fulfilled in the conditions of large surge currents and the optimum voltage protection level can be achieved. Consequently, if the distance between voltage limiting type SPDs is long, the coordination of the cascaded SPDs should be determined by taking into account the decoupling effects due to the intrinsic inductance of leads connecting the upstream and downstream SPDs.

Modern electronic circuits are becoming more vulnerable to damage by surges, and it is required to improve the impulse withstand voltage performance of electrical and electronic equipment. This paper presents the impulse withstand voltage performance of lighting equipment connected to power lines, and the impulse withstand voltage tests for fluorescent lamp, LED lamp and halogen lamp were carried out according to the reference standards under normal service conditions. To conduct performance tests against lightning surge, a combination wave ($1.2/50{\mu}s$ voltage - $8/20{\mu}s$ current) was employed. The test surge was applied between lines or between line and ground of the specimen to be measured. The test surge was applied synchronized at the peak value of the positive and negative AC voltage waves. As a consequence, some specimens satisfied the impulse withstand voltage test criteria, but lighting equipment such as 36W fluorescent lamps, 5W and 5.5W LED lamps and 50W halogen lamp were damaged at the test voltage levels between power lines. It is needed to improve the qualities of lighting equipment to satisfy EMC immunity requirements of equipment for general lighting purposes.

In this paper, we represent both occurrence reason of Surge-voltage and Leakage current of AC drive system which is operated by Voltage-type PWM Inverter. It generates a compensating voltage which has the same amplitude as, but the opposite phase to, the common-mode voltage produced by the PWM inverter. The compensating voltage is superimposed on the inverter output by a common-mode transformer. As a result, the common-mode voltage applied to the load is canceled completely. The design method of the active common-mode noise canceler is also presented in detail. Therefore, we try to describe the method controling both of them and all of the proprieties are proved by our experiment.

The microstructure, electrical properties, and clamping voltage characteristics of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Cr_2O_3-Y_2O_3(ZPCCY)-based$ varistor ceramics sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ were investigated as a function of sintering time from 1 to 3 h. With increasing sintering time, the average grain size and density increased in the range of $11.4\~16.0\;{\mu}m$ and $5.34\~5.54g/cm^3$, respectively, in accordance of increasing sintering time. The nonlinear exponent decreased in the range of $60\~26$ and the leakage current increased in the range of $1.3\~10.7\;{\mu}A$ with increasing sintering time. The clamping voltage ratio increased in the range $1.58\~1.65$ for ratio surge current of 10 A as the sintering time increased.

In this paper, new and aging sample of MCCB and ELCB are investigated the main performance test such as short circuit test, mechanical and electrical endurance test, dielectric test and surge current test. The surface conditions of new and aging sample are analyzed by SEM, TGA and DSC. The ELCB occurred badness mainly in short circuit test and surge current test. The badness cause of short circuit test was confirmed due to imperfect contact of contact part.

The microstructure, electrical, and degradation characteristics against impulse current of ZPCCL-based varistors were investigated with various sintering temperature in the range of $1240\sim1300^{\circ}C$. The densification of varistors was improved, but the nonlinearity was deteriorated with increase of sintering temperature. The varistors sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ and $1260^{\circ}C$ exhibited high stability against surge stress. On the whole, the variation of characteristics of varistor for surge stress was increased in order of varistor voltage$\rightarrow$nonlinear exponent$\rightarrow$dissipation factor$\rightarrow$leakage current.

The clamping voltage characteristics and accelerated aging behavior of CoCrTb-doped Zn/Pr-based varistors were investigated for different sintering temperatures. The best clamping voltage characteristics were obtained for the varistors sintered at $1330^{\circ}C$, with a clamping voltage ratio (K) of 1.63 at a surge current of 5 A and 1.75 at a surge current of 10 A. The varistors sintered at $1330^{\circ}C$ exhibited the highest stability, with -0.1% in $%{\Delta}E_{1\;mA}$, -0.2% in $%{\Delta}{\alpha}$, and +15.5% in $%{\Delta}J_L$ for E-J characteristics under a stress state of 0.90 $E_{1\;mA/120^{\circ}C$ /24 h. Furthermore, it exhibited $%{\Delta}{\varepsilon}_{APP}$' of -0.7% and $%{\Delta}tan{\delta}$ of +5.7% for dielectric characteristics under the same stress state.

This paper deals with the design rule and performance results of the surge protective devices (SPDs) for low-voltage mains on shipboard. The proposed SPDs consists of a metal oxide varistors (MOV) and a L-C filter to improve noise-elimination performance. Three kinds of SPDs are fabricated and tested by using a combination surge generator which produce the standard impulse current of 8/20${\mu}s$ 2.1kA. As a results, the proposed SPDs with series L-C filter have more excellent transient blocking and noise reduction performance than the conventional ones.
