High impedance fault(HIF) is defined as fault the general overcurrent relay can not detect or interrupt. Especially when HIF occur in residential areas, energized high voltage conductor results in fire hazard, equipment damage or personal threat. This paper proposes the model of the high impedance fault in transmission line using the ZnO arrester and resistance to be implemented within EMTP. The performance of the proposed model is tested on a typical 154[kV] korean transmission line system under various fault conditions. Wavelet transform is efficient and useful for the detection of high impedance fault in power system, because it uses variable windows according to frequency. In this paper, HIF detection method using wavelet transform can distinguish HIF form similar fault like arcfurance load, capacitor bank switching and line switching.

The demand of Small Self-generating System (SSS) including Small Cogeneration System (SCS) is constantly increasing with the need of electricity and/or thermal in office, hospital, hotel, and small factory, etc. It is especially recommended to operate SCS in the heat-following mode to maximize the efficiency of generator. In case of the heat-following mode SCS has got to be connected to distribution system so as to send surplus power to the utility or receive the short power from utility. But the interconnection of SSS with distribution system causes a few problems such as the bad power quality, and low security. If SSS is not promptly disconnected after faults occur (Islanding of SSS), it can not only damage equipment of utility and adjacent customers but also endanger life of human due to overvoltage or overcurrent. In this paper it has been deeply discussed if interconnection of engine self-generator/control system satisfies the protective requirement for SSS or not. 500 kW engine generator running in the Jodo island has been used to perform the analysis of interconnection.

This paper presents an study on the knowledge based system for diagnosing the fire causes using the Fuzzy Possibility Measure( FPM ) about the electric-fire ignition. The Ignition values needed for causes diagnosis is computed as FPM for electric-fire ignition based on the internal scale technique that assigns numerically the characteristic difference of facts to the-tin-ear scale. For the convinience of inference, ignition sources are classified into seven types : short, ground fault, leakge of electricity, overcurrent, cord junction overheating, bad Insulation and spark. The system for causes diagnosis of electric-fire is composed of Knowledge Acquisition System, Inference Engine and Man-Machine Interface, The diagnosis system is wrritten in an artificial intelligence langusge “PROLOG” which uses depth-first search and backward chaining schemes in reasoning process.

In this study, we carried out transient radiation test for identify failure situation by a transient radiation effect on operational amplifier devices. This experiments were carried out using a 60 MeV electron beam pulse of the LINAC(Linear Accelerator) facility in the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory. In this test, we has found that a serious failure as a burn-out effect due to overcurrent on the partial electronic devices.

The closed-loop distribution system is more flexible and more reliable than radial system. If any type fault occurs, the reliability of system can be better by providing electrical energy through another distribution line. However, it needs protection device coordination of different type. Typically, it is available by using directional overcurrent relay (67). This paper gives a solution about loop protection relay modeling which can be used by the simulation tools.

This paper presents a systematic investigation of the fault-mode behaviors of matrix converter systems. Knowledge about converter behaviors after fault occurrence is important from the standpoint of reliable system design, protection and fault-tolerant control. Converter behaviors have been, in detail, examined with both qualitative and quantitative approaches for key fault types, such as switch open-circuited faults and switch short-circuited faults. Investigating the fault-mode behaviors of matrix converters reveals that converter operation with switch short-circuited faults leads to overvoltage stresses as well as overcurrent stresses on other healthy switching components. On the other hand, switch open-circuited faults only result in overvoltage to other switching components. This study can be used to predict fault-mode converter behaviors and determine additional stresses on remaining power circuit components under fault-mode operations.

Because few signals are generated using low resolution position sensor at low speed, rotor position estimation is difficult in drum washing machine application. Besides, inertia of water and drum affect the initial operation load up to two times of rated load. Therefore overcurrent can be occurred at initial operation. In this paper, IPMSM vector control for drum washing machine is proposed by applying I/F initial operating method and sensorless control. And we verify the performance through experiment.

The increasing of fault current by introducing of the distributed generation(DG) in distribution system disrupts the protective coordination. Therefore, this paper applies the superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) to solve this problem. The distribution system with DG and SFCL is modeled by EMTP. According to various size of the DG, the fault is simulated and the operating time of overcurrent relay is investigated accoring to the resistance of SFCL.

계전기는 1930년대에 처음 개발되어 지금까지 수많은 발전을 거치며 전력계통의 과도현상을 효과적으로 차단해왔다. 이러한 계전기의 종류에는 많은 종류가 있으며 본 논문에서는 배전선로 보호에 주로 쓰이는 재폐로부 과전류계전기에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 배전계통에 사용하는 과전류계전기는 이상전류가 발생할 경우 순시특성과 한시 특성을 이용하여 계통을 차단하지만 고장검출시간은 비교적 짧은 편이다. 이런 현상은 짧은 시간 안에 발생하는 이상전류에 대해서도 계통을 정전상태로 만들기 때문에 효율적이지 못하다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 재폐로부 과전류계전기가 개발되어 재폐로의 특징을 이용해 좀 더 긴 고장검출 시간을 확보하여 계통의 불필요한 정전을 방지하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 재폐로부 과전류계전기를 EMTP를 이용하여 모델링하고 계전기 동작을 검증하였으며 또한 EMTP를 이용하여 모델링된 배전계통에 적용시켜 모의결과를 분석하였다.
