We analyzed the fault current limiting characteristics of a flux-lock type $high-T_c$ super­conducting fault current limiter (HTSC-FCL) using series resonance between capacitor for series resonance and magnetic field coil which was installed in coil 3. The capacitor for the series resonance in the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL was inserted in series with the magnetic field coil to apply enough magnetic field into HTSC element, which resulted in higher resistance of HTSC element. However, the impedance of the flux lock type HTSC-FCL has started to decrease since the current of coil 3 exceeded one of coil 2 after a fault accident. The decrease in the impedance of the FCL causes the line current to increase and, if continues, the capacitor for the series resonance to be destructed. To avoid this operation, the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL requires an additional device such as fault current interrupter or control circuit for magnetic field. From the experimental results, we investigated the parameter range where the operation as mentioned above for the designed flux-lock type HTSC-FCL using series resonance occurred.

In this paper, the characteristics of linearly tapered strip-line filters, where the even-mode and odd-mode characteristic impedances vary linearly with the same degree along the lines, are analyzed. The Impedance parameters of linearly tapered coupled strip-line, which is made by connecting two linearly tapered unsymmetric coupled strip-lines In cascade and the I:no input and output terminals are made equal, are obtained. Using the above parameters, the Image parameters of linearly tapered coupled strip-line filters are derived. The result of analysis shows that the line length can be made shorter and also the stop-band width between the fundamental and second pass-band becomes wider, compared with the coupled strip-line filters which use uniform strip-lines. Furthermore, the difference of impedance levels in the fundsmental and second pass-band becomes larger with the degree of taper of the lines. This property is unique, in comparison with the case of uniform or exponentially tapered strip-line filters.

Accurate detection and classification of faults on transmission lines is vitally important. In this respect, many different types of faults occur, such as inter alia low impedance faults (LIF) and high impedance faults (HIF). The latter in particular pose difficulties for the commonly employed conventional overcurrent and distance relays, and if undetected, can cause damage to expensive equipment, threaten life and cause fire hazards. Although HIFs are far less common than LIFs, it is imperative that any protection device should be able to satisfactorily deal with both HIFs and LIFs. Because of the randomness and asymmetric characteristics of HIFs, their modeling is difficult and numerous papers relating to various HIF models have been published. In this paper, the model of HIFs in transmission lines is accomplished using the characteristics of a ZnO arrester, which is then implemented within the overall transmission system model based on the electromagnetic transients program (EMTP). This paper proposes an algorithm for fault detection and classification for both LIFs and HIFs using Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The inputs into ANFIS are current signals only based on Root-Mean-Square (RMS) values of 3-phase currents and zero sequence current. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on a typical 154 kV Korean transmission line system under various fault conditions. Test results demonstrate that the ANFIS can detect and classify faults including LIFs and HIFs accurately within half a cycle.

The sintering, defect and grain boundary characteristics of Bi-based ZnO chip varistor (1,608 mm size) have been investigated to know the possibility of lowering a manufacturing price by using 100 % Ag inner-electrode. The samples were prepared by general multilayer chip varistor process and characterized by shrinkage, SEM, current-voltage (I-V), admittance spectroscopy (AS), impedance and modulus spectroscopy (IS & MS) measurement. There are no problems to make a chip varistor with 100% Ag inner-electrode in the sintering temperature range of 850~900$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in air. A good varistor characteristics ($V_n$= 9.3~15.4 V, a= 23~24, $I_L$= 1.0~1.6 ${\mu}A$) were revealed but formed $Zn_i^{{\cdot}{\cdot}}$(0.209 eV) as dominant defect, and increased the distributional inhomogeneity and the temperature instability in grain boundary barriers.

In this paper, we present microwave characteristics of traveling-wave photodetectors (TWPD) using the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD). Current and voltage in the time domain are calculated by the FDTD. Also, characteristic impedance and propagation constant in frequency domain are obtained from the time-domain data. As the thickness of i-layer gets thicker and the waveguide width gets narrower, TWPD's show less microwave loss and higher velocity. The 50Ω impedance matching design is achieved for 2.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ waveguide width and 1.2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness of i-layer at 100 GHz.

In this paper, in order to fabricate the circularly polarized diversity system which will mitigate multipath fading, 5.8GHz band microstrip array antenna were designed and fabricated. These antenna were designed using Ensemble 6.0 program and the fabricated antenna were vertical and horizontal polarized antenna, left-handed circularly polarized antenna, and right-handed circularly polarized antenna. The designed antenna parameters included S11 and impedance characteristics of fabricated antenna were measured using Network Analyzer(8753ES). From the measurement results, the S11 for each polarization antenna at resonance frequency of 5.8GHz band was showed -38dB, -44dB, and -50dB respectively and it was similar to the simulation result, and also the impedance can be matched at $50{\Omega}$. In order to compare polarization characteristics, broadband measurement was also conducted in this paper.

This paper deals with the characteristics of soil ionization affecting the dynamic performance of grounding systems under lightning impulse voltage. A concentric hemispherical electrode system was employed in order to facilitate the field calculation and analysis of the experimental results. The parameters such as the ionization threshold and breakdown field intensity, the pre-ionization and the post ionization resistances, the time-lag to ionization, the transient impedance, the equivalent ionized radius for various soil media were measured and analyzed. The dynamic characteristics of ionization processes under lightning impulse voltage are strongly dependent on the types of soil and water content. As a result, a soil ionization reduces the ground resistance and there is a little effect of applied impulse polarity on the soil ionization threshold field intensity. Although the ionization threshold field intensity of wet clay with 30% water content is the highest, its ionized zone was found to be the smallest amongst the test samples.

To improve the acoustic performance of sound absorbing materials, the thickness of the material should be increased or the sound absorbing material having an irregular surface shape should be used. In this study, the acoustic characteristics and methods to improve the acoustic performance of a sound absorbing system equipped with double layered polyester sound absorbing materials were investigated. The numerical model was set up and the results obtained from the model were compared with the actual measurement data. And, strategies to improve the acoustic performance of sound absorbing systems with double layered sound absorbing materials made of polyester with different configuration were shown. So, this study is expected to be usefully used at sites that require high acoustic absorption performance with minimal installation thickness to reduce sounds reflection in narrow spaces such as interior of subway tunnels or in noise barriers installed adjacent to rails.

Electrical appliances such as audiovisual equipment and personal computers have recently had heat and electromagnetic problems. In order to solve those problems, 'High heat absorbing pre-painted steel sheet (hereinafter referred to as PSS)', 'High electromagnetic shielding PSS' and 'High heat absorbing and high electromagnetic shielding PSS' have been developed. In this paper, the heat characteristics and electromagnetic shielding properties of PSS are investigated by methods that use enclosures and their mechanisms are discussed. It was found that 'High heat absorbing PSS' and 'High heat absorbing and high electromagnetic shielding PSS'could reduce the heat problem. The mechanism of the heat characteristics was presumed for the high heat absorptivity of the back coating inside the enclosure. And it was also found that 'High electromagnetic shielding PSS' and 'High heat absorbing and high electromagnetic shielding PSS' could shield electromagnetic waves well. The mechanism of the electromagnetic shielding properties was considered for the low transfer impedance of the back coating inside the enclosure. 'High heat absorbing PSS' and 'High electromagnetic shielding PSS' have been adopted as materials for electrical appliances and 'High electromagnetic shielding and high heat absorbing PSS' have been tested for that purpose.
