접지전극의 형태, 크기, 재질 및 임펄스전류의 형상에 따라 변화하는 과도접지임피던스는 접지시스템의 성능에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 본 논문은 기존의 실효임펄스임피던스가 실제 과도접지임피던스를 얼마나 효과적으로 나타내고 있는가에 대한 분석과 보다 효과적인 과도접지임피던스 평가방법에 대하여 실험적인 결과를 제시하였다. 실험에 사용된 접지전극은 저항성분과 인덕턴스를 포함한 모의 접지전극과 1[m] 탄소접지봉, 9[m] 일반동봉 그리고 40[m] 매설지선이며, 가변주파수 전류와 임펄스전류에 의한 접지임피던스를 각각 측정하였다. 각각의 값을 비교 했을 때 기존의 실효임펄스임피던스의 값보다는 전압의 최대 값과 전류의 최대 값을 이용하여 과도접지임피던스를 구한 임피던스 값($Z_1$)이 등가주파수에 해당하는 가변주파수 전류에 의해 구해진 접지임피던스에 근접함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents structural characteristics of station class lightning arresters and electrical characteristics of manufactured ZnO varistor blocks which are usable in those arresters. Three types of station class lightning arresters were investigated and those are a ceramic arrester, a FRP tube type polymer arrester, and a FRP rod type polymer arrester. Each arrester has merits and demerits with structural characteristics. In general, polymer arresters were made of silicon rubber for housing materials, FRP tube or rod for mechanical strength, ZnO blocks for electrical characteristics, and metal parts for electrical contact and the silicon rubber, the housing materials, was directly injected to the arrester module which was assembly composed of electrodes, ZnO blocks and FRP tube or rod, and to prevent the nonlinear electric fields distribution on upper parts of arresters, the grade ring was adopted to the upper electrodes. The reference voltage, nonlinear coefficient, residual voltage, and voltage ratio of manufactured ZnO varistors are 4.90kV, 50, 9.54kV, 1.94, respectively. Compared to designed electrical characteristics, the reference voltage was low for 600v and the voltage ratio was slightly high. However, the characteristics of discharge withstand was so excellent that the mechanical destruction does not occur at the impulse current of $8/20{\mu}s$ 10kA for 100 times.

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.

A reliable voltage measurement system is necessary to monitor status of power facilities in substations, which is easy to set up and is not influenced by electromagnetic interference in and around substation. In this paper, we described a voltage measurement system (VMS) which is composed of a capacitive voltage probe, an impedance converter, and an optical linker. To get a wide-band characteristic of the VMS, a high speed impedance converter was used, and the output impedance of the VMS was set at $50{\Omega}$ to match any types of observing instruments. The frequency bandwidth of the VMS. which was estimated by a step pulse, was ranges from 11.42 Hz to 13.65 MHz, and the VMS showed a good response characteristic in a high frequency domain such as impulse voltages as well as a commercial frequency voltage.

This paper presents Pspice modeling methods for spark gaps and ZnO varistors and describes the application for the two-stage surge suppression circuit which was composed of the nonlinear components. The simulation modelings of nonlinear components were conducted on the basis of the voltage and current curves measured by the impulse current with the time-to-crest of $1~50 \mus$ and the impulse voltage with the rate of the time-to-crest of 10, 100 and 1000 V/\mus$. The firing voltages of the spark gap increased with increasing the rate of the time-to-crest of impulse voltage and the measured data were in good agreement with the simulated data. The I-V curves of the ZnO varistor were measured by applying the impulse currents of which time-to-crests range from 1 to $50 \mus$ and peak amplitudes from 10 A to 2 kA. The simulation modeling was based on the I-V curves replotted by taking away the inductive effects of the test circuit and leads. The meximum difference between the measured and calculated data was of the order of 3%. Also the two-stage surge suppression circuit made of the spark gap and the ZnO varistor was investigated with the impulse voltage of $10/1000\mus$$mutextrm{s}$ wave shape. The overall agreement between the theoretical and experimental results seems to be acceptable. As a consequence, it was known that the proposed simulation techniques could effectively be used to design the surge suppression circuits combined with nonlinear components.

In this thesis, the microstructure and electrical properties of ZnO varistors were investigated according to ZnO varistors with various formulation. A∼E's ZnO varistor ceramics were exhibited good density, 95% of theory density and low porosity, 5%, wholly. The average grain size of A-E's ZnO varistor ceramics exhibited 11.89$\mu\textrm{m}$, 13.57$\mu\textrm{m}$, 15.44$\mu\textrm{m}$, 11.92$\mu\textrm{m}$, 12.47$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. Grain size of C's ZnO varistor is larger and grain size of A and D's are smaller than other varistors. In the microstructure, A∼E's ZnO varistor ceramics sintered at l130$^{\circ}C$ was consisted of ZnO grain(ZnO), spinel phase(Zn$\sub$2.33/Sb$\sub$0.67/O$_4$), Bi-rich Phase(Bi$_2$O$_3$) and inergranular phase, wholly. Reference voltage of A∼E's ZnO varistor sintered at 1130$^{\circ}C$ decreased in order D, E > A > B > C's ZnO varistors. Nonlinear exponent of varistors exhibited high characteristics, above 30, wholly. Consequently, C's ZnO varistor exhibited good nonlinear exponent, 68. Lightning impulse residual voltage of A, B, C and E's ZnO varistors suited standard characteristics, below 12kV at current of 5kA.

This paper presents the characteristics of external inductor for impulse current waveform with 10/350 ${\mu}s$ time parameters. Impulse generator was composed with capacitor having large capacitance and low working voltage for the safe of operator and small discharging sound. Parallel R-L-C circuits with crow-bar gaps and superposition method were proposed to make a high current lightning impulse according to IEC 62305-1. The high energy inductor with several taps for fitting half decay time T2 within the tolerance range and experimental data of inductance according to charging voltages were suggested.

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.
