The main objective of this paper is to design and test a new type of polymer ZnO surge arrester for AC power system of railroad vehicles. Metal oxide surge arrester for most electric power system applications, electric train and subway are now being used extensively to protect overvoltage due to lightning. Surge arresters with porcelain housing must not have explosive breakage of the housing to minimize damage to other equipment when subjected to internal high short circuit current. When breakdown of ZnO elements in a surge arrester occurs due to flashover, fault short current flows through the arrestor and internal pressure of the arrester rises. The pressure rise can usually be limited by fitting a pressure relief diaphragm and transferring the arc from the inside to the outside of the housing. However, there is possibility of porcelain fragmentation caused by the thermal shock, pressure rise. etc. Non-fragmenting of the housing is the most desired way to prevent damage to other equipment. The pressure change which is occurred by flashover become discharge energy. This discharge energy raises to damage arrester housing and arrester housing is dispersed as small fragment. Therefore, the pressure relief design is requested to obstruct housing dispersion. The main research works are focused on the structure design by finite element method, pressure relief of module, and studies of performance of surge arrester for electric railway vehicle.

Heating cables, widely used in office buildings, factories, streets and railways, deteriorate in electrical insulation during operation. The insulation deterioration of heating cables leads to electric discharges that can cause electrical fires. With this background, this paper dealt with a condition monitoring technique for heating cables by the analysis of discharge signals to prevent electrical fires. Insulation deterioration was simulated using an arc generator specified in UL1699 under AC operation, and the characteristic and propagation of discharge signals were analyzed on a 100 meter-long heating cable. Discharge signals produced by insulation deterioration were detected as a voltage pulse because they are as small as a few mV and they are attenuated through propagation path. The frequency spectrum of discharge signals mainly existed in the range from 70 kHz to 110 kHz, and the maximum attenuation of the signal was 84.8% at 100 meters away from the discharge point. Based on the experimental results, a monitoring device, which is composed of a high pass filter with the cut-off frequency of 70 kHz, a comparator, a wave shaper and a microprocessor, was designed and fabricated. Also, an algorithm was designed to discriminate the discharge signal in the presence of noise, compared with the pulse repetition period and the number of pulse counts per 100ms. In the experiment, the result showed that the prototype monitoring device could detect and discriminate the discharge signals produced at every discharge point on a heating cable.

This study investigated the effect of pre-treatment on the PEO film formation of AZ91 Mg alloy. The pre-treatment was conducted for 10 min at room temperature in 0.5 M oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) solution containing various ammonium fluoride (NH₄F) concentrations. The pre-treated AZ91 Mg specimens were anodized at 100 mA/cm² of 300 Hz AC for 2 min in 0.1 M NaOH + 0.4 M Na₂SiO₃ solution. When AZ91 Mg alloy was pretreated in 0.5 M oxalic acid with NH₄F concentration less than 0.3 M, continuous dissolution of the AZ91 Mg alloy occurred together with the formation of black smuts and arc initiation time for PEO film formation was very late. It was noticed that corrosion rate of the AZ91 Mg alloy became faster if small amount of NH₄F concentration, 0.1 M, is added. The fast corrosion is attributable to fast formation of porous fluoride together with porous oxides in the reaction products. On the other hand, when AZ91 Mg alloy was pretreated in 0.5 M oxalic acid with sufficient NH₄F more than 0.3 M, a thin and dense protective film was formed on the AZ91 Mg alloy surface which resulted in faster initiation of arcs and formation of PEO film.

50/50 vol% LSM-YSZ의 복합공기극(LSM=$\textrm{La}_{1-x}\textrm{Sr}_{x}\textrm{MnO}_{3}$(0$\leq$x$\leq$0.5))이 콜로이드 증착법에 의해 준비으며 주사전자현미경과 임피던스 분석기에 의해 연구되어졌다. 재현성있는 임피던스 스펙트럼들이 LSM-YSZ/YSZ/LSM-YSZ로 구성된 향상된 셀을 사용함으로써 얻어졌다. 이러한 셀들의 임피던스 스펙트럼들은 작동온도에 강하게 영향을 받았으며, 가장 안정된 조건은 $900^{\circ}C$에서 도달되어졌다. $900^{\circ}C$에서 공기//공기 셀에 대해 측정된 전형적인 임피던스 스펙트럼들은 2개의 불완전한 호(depressed arc)로 구성되었다. LSM전극에 대한 YSZ의 첨가는 LSM-YSZ 공기극의 저항 감소를 가져왔으며, 전해질 표면의 불순물의 영향을 제거하기 위한 연마는 공기극 저항을 더욱 감소시켰다. 또한 촉매층(Ni 혹은 Sr)을 가진 LSM-YSZ 전극은 촉매층이 없는 경우에 비해 공기극 저항의 감소를 가져왔다. LSM-YSZ 공기극 저항은 전극조성, 전해질의 형태, 인가 전류에 의해 영향을 받았다.
