Applications of the fiber optic sensing are glowing rapidly, particularly in situations where size, weight, speed, and immunity to electromagnetic interference are important considerations. The fiber optic current sensors have been developed for low frequency(60Hz) metering in electric power systems. But we try measure to high frequency large current by fiber optic current sensor based on Bi substituted rare earth iron garnet. In this paper, we report the linearity to 500 amperes and frequency response of signal processor and a result of detection the standard impulse large current of fiber optic impulse sensor system.

Generally, ZnO varistors have dynamic characteristics that the cut-off voltage increases as the time to crest of the varistor current decreases. Dynamic characteristics of ZnO varistor are the most important factor in region of the steep front discharge current particularly. Also, V-I characteristics of ZnO varistor have hysterisis loop in time domain and frequency dependency. This paper deals with ZnO varistor numerical equation and modeling method which takes the behavior of varying clamping voltage into consideration during the time to crest, in range of $1{\mu}m{\sim}50{\mu}m$, of impulse current applied to a ZnO varistor. The simulated results by the proposed model are compared with experimental results for each of the impulse current.

In this paper, detection based - adaptive windowed nonlinear filters(DB-AWNF) are proposed for removing one-side impulse noise in infrared image. They are composed of impulse detector and window-size-variable median filters. Impulse detector checks whether current pixel is impulse or not using range function and nonlinear location estimator. If impulse is detected, current pixel is filtered according to four kinds of local masks by use of median filter. If not. current pixel is delivered to output like identity filter. In qualitative view, the proposed could have removed heavy corrupted noise up to $20\%$ and reserved the details of image. In quantitative view, PSNR was measured. The proposed could have 13 - 31[dB] more improved performance than those of median($3{\times}3$) filter and 18 - 25[dB] more improved performance than those of median($5{\times}5$) filter.

This paper shows the characteristic of wave tail according to inductance values in 10/$350{\mu}s$ impulse circuit with crowbar switch. The PSpice was used to simulate the 10/$350{\mu}s$ current waveform and lightning current impulse generator was used to generate real current waveform. As a capacitor of condenser bank increases, a virtual front time increases and a time to half-value decreases. To get a perfect 10/$350{\mu}s$ current waveform, we should consider the combination of circuit values of the inductance, capacitance, time difference between trigger pulses and charged voltage of capacitor bank.

ZnO varistors have been widely used to protect power system and electronic system against overvoltages based on their excellent nonlinearity. In order to increase their protection capability, the fracture and protection technologies of arresters have to study according to their applications, namely ImA DC voltage, leakage currents, impulse residual voltages, withstanding capability to impulse surge, and energy absorption capability. ZnO varistors which have nonlinear current-voltage characteristic name a number of failure mechanism when ZnO elements absorb surge energies. Failure mode by thermal stress and Pin hole are among the most common failure mechanism at the high current surge current. In this study, the fracture mechaism of power arresters are introduced and protection technologies are researched. In particular the effect of thermal stress by surge currents to ZnO elements and methods against arc surge energy through withstand structure design of arrester are discussed.

Leakage impulse current of the contaminated insulators by using experiment data were studied. The impulse current in phase-time relationship was analyzed on line post insulators. Also, frequency components and crest factor of the leakage current were investigated to provide a scheme for an early detection of insulator incipient failure. The study shows that the phase-time characteristic is non-stationary and random and, non-harmonic component and crest factor can be promising parameters for detecting insulator leakage currents.

To obtain a low ground resistance in high resistivity soil, long vertical ground rods are often used. However, if the lightning current or fault current with high frequency flow into the grounding system, the ground impedance is significantly increased because of the inductive behavior. This paper presents how the impulse current works on the long vertical ground electrodes. The different shape of current was impressed between ground rods and auxiliary electrode by using impulse generator and the ground impedance was calculated from the ground potential rise.

This study aims to evaluate the properties and the performance of the newly designed disconnector for surge arrester. This disconnector was verified with the performance in long-duration current impulse test and high current impulse test. And time-current characteristic test was done at 20A, 200A and 800A(3points) for simulating the internal fault condition of the arrester. The results of this test was very good. Consequently, the newly designed disconnector was, evaluated that it is possible to be used for surge arrester in distribution line system.

This paper presents a design parameter calculation methodology and its realization to construction for the damped oscillatory impulse current generator(ICG) modelled as damping factor $\alpha$. Matlab internal functions, "fzero" and "polyfit" are applied to find a which are solutions of second order nonlinear equation related with three wave parameters $T_{1},T_{2}$ and $I_{os}$. The calculation results for standard impulse current waveforms such as 4/10${\mu}s$, 8/20${\mu}s$ and 30/80${\mu}s$ show very good accuracy and this results make it possible to extend to generalization in the design of damped oscillatory lCG with any capacitor. 8/20${\mu}s$ ICG based on the calculated design circuit parameters is fabricated in consideration of the nonlinear load(MOV) variation. Comparisons of the tested waveforms with the designed estimation show error within 10% for the waveform tolerance recommended in IEC 60060-1 and IEEE std. C62.45.

This parer presents the soil ionization phenomena and parameters associated to characterize the transient performances of grounding system under lightning impulse Currents. Ionization properties in occurring some soil media were experimentally investigated. The cylindrical test cell was employed in order to facilitate the analysis of soil breakdown field intensity and ionized radius. The soil breakdown field intensity, dependence of impedance on the amplitude of impulse current, V-I curves and transient impedances were discussed based on the voltage and current oscillograms. It was found that the ionization process and dynamic behaviors were strongly dependent on the types of soil and two current peaks were not observed in highly water-saturated soils. The results presented in this paper will provide useful information on the improvement of transient performance of a grounding system subjected to lightning impulse Current considering the soil ionization.
