In a high power laboratory, artificial lines are used for SLF tests of circuit breakers. The line side PTRV is affected by the stray capacitances of testing and measuring equipment as well as the circuit parameters of artificial lines. The changing pattern of PTRV was examined, and the circuit parameters of artificial line for some examples were compensated using the changing pattern to satisfy test conditions specified.

A self-blast type gas circuit breaker has been studied in this study to improve efficiency of interrupting performance of short line fault(SLF). Hot gas flows of gas circuit breaker have been simulated to evaluate interruption performance using CFD. Design parameters such as various types of expansion chamber and nozzles are suggested by using simulation results. Simulated results and experimental ones are compared with previous (ones that of in under development and with capacitor) GCB. Modified new shape of an expansion chamber and nozzle has been suggested to improve the efficiency of gas flow and to provide guidelines for designing self-blast breaker with a higher interruption capability.

With the 4-MJ synthetic testing facilities completed, KERI can perform the circuit breaker testing up to 420 kV, 50 kA ratings. The short-line fault test is one of the necessary test items which are required for the circuit breaker, and in order to perform the short-line fault test KERI(Korea Electrotechnology Institute) has used the "new artificial line" which has small dimension and is easy to generate the saw-tooth wave. This paper describes the following items of the new artificial line. -Description of 4-kinds of artificial lines and determination of the circuit parameter of artificial line. -TRV characteristics of saw-tooth waves for each circuit. -KERI's artificial line.
