This paper presents the influence of the lightning overvoltage and the shielding effect of lightning arresters and overhead grounding wires on the DC railroad systems. Modeling of railroad system is established in ATPDraw to perform the simulation and the line constants of railroad were calculated using ATP_LCC. When a direct lightning strikes to the DC railroad, the result of simulation reveals that the shielding effect of arresters is reduced at messenger, trolly-wire, and the shielding effects of overhead grounding wire is over 90% than the case which does not include it. Therefore it is evaluated that overhead grounding wires should be installed in the DC railroad line.

FRP has been used very much as high strength core materials for insulators because of its high strength and good insulation properties. In this study cantilever, tension and torsion stress were simulation along to the unidirection glass fiber. In addition, FRP was made by pultrusion method. This paper proposed the procedure of the finite element model updating and pretest using the commercial finite element code MSC. Nastran. To enhance the efficiency of experimental modal analysis, we proposed the process which is the selection of the locations and the number of measurement points for pre-test.

The life of transformer is significantly dependent on the thermal behavior in windings. To analyse winding temperature rise, many transformer designer have calculated temperature distribution and hot spot point by finite element method(FEM). Recently, numerical analyses of transformer are studied for optimum design, that is electric field analysis, magnetic field, potential vibration, thermal distribution and thermal stress. Therefore design time and design cost are decreased by numerical analysis. In this paper, the temperature distribution and thermal stress analysis of 50kVA pole cast resin transformer for power distribution are investigated by FEM program. The temperature change according to load rates of transformer also have been investigated. We have carried out temperature rise test and test results are compared with simulation data.

Recently polymer insulators are being used for outdoor high voltage applications. Polymer insulators for transmission and distribution line have significant advantages over porcelain and glass insulators, especially for ultra-high voltage(UHV) transmission lines. Their advantages are light weight, vandalism resistance and hydrophobicity. In this paper, polymer line post insulator has been designed and investigated electric field distribution by FEM. Designed LP insulators have been tested as insulator performance test, such as power frequency voltage test, lightning impulse voltage test, artificial pollution test and flexural load test.

The FRP pole had great advantages over other material poles. Light weight, easy installing and transporting were good characteristics. The material's superior properties represented the good durability for sea weather and air pollution, good insulation for electric, and changeable colors. In those properties, usages were like a area affected by sea, downtown, the area among the mountains and a special area for the outstanding views. It was studied that pole manufacturing method, structure analysis of pole by FEM in this study. Filament winding method was selected for a new pole manufacturing method. It produced the tapered poles and mechanically strong properties.

The nonuniformity of electrical characteristics of grain boundaries in ZnO varistors wei\ulcorner systematically analyzed. The high nonuniformity exist in barrier voltages and nonlinearity coefficients among different grain boundaries. The barrier voltages have normal distributions, only a few grain boundaries were electrically active, and the grain boundaries can be simply classified into good, bad, and ohmic ones according to the electrical characteristics of grain boundaries. The average barrier voltage is equal to 3.3 V by direct method, but it is only 2.3 V by indirect method. There is a high difference between the barrier voltages by direct and indirect measurement methods. The A1$_2$O$_3$ dopants affect the electrical characteristics of grain boundaries by changing the electron status In grain boundary and intragrain.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate FRP rod for aging, which exposed to salt water and pure at elevated temperature. Dielectric constant and tan .delta. on time and frequency domain were tested to observe how rapidly the FRP rod aged. Dielectric constants of FRP rods with treating time were slightly increased. That of FRP rods with frequency, However, showed strongly the effects of large relaxation time estimated from interfacial polarization a or ionic. It is obvious that absorbed water affects to dielectric and electric properties of FRP with increasing the treating time.

Insulator systems using resin casting apparatus are useful to realize the high capacity, small size, and combined electric power equipments, and are expected to bring various advantages. In Korea, epoxy resin molded apparatus have been restricted to indoor uses till now. On the other hand, in Europe, molded insulators and transformers and so forth have been practically used since the former half of 1960's. Recently, investigation on epoxy resin materials and molded apparatus for outdoor use have ben intensively carried out. Probably, this is because electric power outdoor apparatus such as distribution transformer can be given multi-functions by using outdoor epoxy resin compound This study describes the trend on the development of epoxy mold transformers, and important technologies applied for outdoor use.

Metal oxide surge arrester were developed in the late 1970s, and were immediately adopted as significant breakthrough in over voltage protection of power system. Work was continued throughout the world on the design, development and application of metal oxide surge arrester. This paper describes the evaluating test and results of practical use for analyzing the performance of gapless metal oxide surge arresters under various type test. In the result, ZnO element exhibited badness rate of 6.95 percent.
