Main power transmission network in Korea is consist of 154kV, 345kV transmission lines. Also 765kV transmission lines are on construction currently. There are some differences in the insulation design concept, methods and contents on 154kV, 345kV and 765kV overhead transmission lines respectively. In this paper, we described and summarized the applied insulation design concept, methods and features on each transmission lines.

This paper describes the power frequency voltage and its countermeasure when a 765 kV transmission line is directly connected to a 345 kV line and operated at 345 kV voltage. The summary of this result is as follows : The western route of 765 kV transmission line doesn't need any countermeasure to reduce the power frequency voltage at the receiving end. The eastern route of 765 kV transmission needs 100 Mvar(3 phase) capacity of shunt reactor at the receiving end to reduce the power frequency voltage. The use of shunt reactors in the 765 kV transmission lines has unexpected problems, one of which is induction of high voltages on a de-energized circuit of two parallel lines. This paper examined the problem of resonance on two parallel transmission circuits in one routes.

Recently, there are growing concerns about power frequency electric and magnetic fields coming out from the high voltage transmission lines, because of the wide spread perception of their probable harmful effect on human body. In connection with this trend, this paper describes the electric and magnetic fields measurement result around 154 kV and 345 kV transmission lines, a comparison of measured EMF to calculated one and the correlations between transmission lines currents and measured magnetic fields. Daily maximum and minimum magnetic field quantities under the selected 154 kV and 345 kV transmission lines had been measured for 1 year of 1997 and the average value of magnetic field exposure under the lines were calculated and presented based on the measured data.

The oscillation is very dangerous in bundled transmission lines, especially 345kV 4 bundle transmission lines are very weak for subspan oscillations. In some cases, subspan oscillations are continuously occurred in the same subspan. In order to develop the control method of the above subspan oscillation, this paper suggests a method of applying twin spacers to the subspans. We have carried out some tests to analyze the oscillation phenomena after installing twin spacers on 34sky real lines, and we got a good effect for controling subspan oscillations.

345kV Incheon Thermal Power Plant Transmission Line Collapse Analysis and Countermeasures. The Typhoon Galmaegi which had been formed in July 15, 2008 diminished into a tropical cyclone and cooled the air above the West Sea. The cooled air colliding with the warm inland air caused a strong whirlwind at some places in the west seaside; the whirlwind battered the 345kV Incheon Thermal Power Plant Transmission Line to be collapsed. The resistance against wind pressure, one of the key elements in transmission line engineering, is designed to endure the pressure corresponding to the maximum instantaneous wind speed. Before the above accident happened, no transmission line has ever been collapsed by a whirlwind. So this paper is aimed to analyze causes that collapsed 345kV Incheon Thermal Power Plant transmission line and to introduce countermeasures.

The same sized arcing horns have been installed on 345 kV transmission lines. Then arcing horn gaps are different according to the insulator string set. We need to examine the problems about the gap differences. So, we investigated the installation status of acing horn in 345 kV T/L. Based on these results. Drawing and making of the arcing horns for the contaminated areas is studied.

With the three dimensional magnetic field measuring system dealt with in this paper, accurate measurements and analyses of ELF magnetic fields in the vicinity of UHV overhead transmission lines and substations have been conducted. For the field measurements multiturn loop-type sensors have been developed with special consideration of taking lower frequency and spatial components without any distortion. So the measuring system has the frequency bandwidth of 8[Hz] to about 53[kHz] and the response sensitivity of $9.88[mV/{\mu}T]$ in average. A brief description of design rules of the measuring system and measurement procedures is given. The actual surrey near 154 and 345[kV] overhead transmission lines and power subststions was carried out and analyzed. It may be inferred from these results that the maximum magnetic field intensities under typical UHV overhead transmission lines do not exceed $20[{\mu}T]$ so that the field measurements satisfy sufficiently all limits or guidelines that various authorized international institutes recommend.

The first 150lkV underground transmission line of Korea was installed between Danginri and Yongsan substation in 1974. Since then, the underground transmission lines of about 720 circuit-km had been installed up to 1995. As the national economy has been enlarged and the population of city has been rapidly increased, the demand of an electric power has been very increased. Therefore the first 345kV long-length transmission line of Korea was installed between Mikyum and Sungdong substation on Jan., 1997. This paper describes the design of the 345kV oil-filled cable and its accessories, the design of the system, the methods of installation, field tests, and the future trends of the underground transmission line in Korea.

In this paper, measurements and analyses of ELF electric fields in the vicinity of UHV overhead transmission lines and substations have been conducted. Planar-type sensors have been developed with special consideration of picking up lower frequency and spatial components without any distortion. So finally the electric field measuring system has the frequency bandwidth of 7[Hz] to 2.7[MHz] and the response sensitivity of 0.094[mV/V/m]. A brief description of design rules of the measuring system and measurement procedures is introduced. The actual survey near 154 and 345[kV] overhead transmission lines and power subststions was carried out and analyzed. It may be inferred from these results that the electric field intensity exeeds 7[kV/m] only in very few cases particularly at the substations so that the field measurements meet almost limits or guidelines that various authorized international institutes recommend.

Because of the continuous growth of energy consumption and also the tendency to site power lines and pipelines along the same route, the close proximity of power lines and buried metallic pipelines has become more and more frequent. Therefore there has been and still is a growing concern about possible hazards resulting from the influence of power lines on metallic pipelines. When a ground fault occurs in an electrical installation the current flowing through the earthing electrode produces a potential rise of the electrode and of the neighbouring soil with regard to a remote earth. This paper analyzes the effects of ground faults when the current will flow into the soil from the foot of 345kV transmission line tower.
