네트워크 기반의 휴대용 전자 제품의 시장 성장으로 전기기기들은 더욱 소형화 되고 있는 추세이고 내부 부품간의 거리가 가까워져 회로 단락의 위험이 높아지고 있다. 회로의 단락 상황에서 유입되는 높은 과전류로 부터 폭발이나 화재 없이 전자기기를 안전하게 보호하기 위해서는 차단용량이 높은 밀폐형 카트리지 퓨즈를 적용해야 하지만 제품의 소형화 추세에 따른 공간의 문제로 해당 퓨즈의 적용이 불가능한 실정이다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 화학적 결합으로 퓨즈 가용체를 보호하는 밀폐형 퓨즈보다 공기의 유입이 자유로울 뿐만 아니라 물리적 결합으로 퓨즈링크를 보호하는 반밀폐형 초소형 퓨즈가 적용되는 것이 적합하지만 높은 차단용량 특성을 구현하는데 한계가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 상대적으로 공간을 적게 차지하면서 높은 차단용량을 갖는 반밀폐형 초소형 퓨즈를 위한 퓨즈 가용체 합금과 퓨즈링크의 설계 기술을 통하여 회로의 단락 상황에서 안전성을 확보하였다.

Recently, the fault current has increased to exceed the rated breaking capacity of protective device due to the growth of the power demand on the power system where is changed into the loop-, mesh-, network grid. To limit fault current, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is announced with various methods. In many researches, the current limiting effect with the SFCL has been analyzed considering the rated breaking capacity of the CB with one fault condition. However, the power system has various short circuit and operation conditions. In order to select the capacity of the SFCL with reclosing operation and burden of the fault current on the protective device, the characteristics of the power system were investigated. Through the analysis, the evaluation method of the current rate was improved.

전력 계통에서 전력 용량의 급격한 증가는 고장 용량이 차단기의 차단 용량을 초과하게 함으로써 계통의 신뢰도를 심각하게 저하시킬 수 있다. 한류기는 고장 용량을 차단 용량 레벨로 제한함으로써 신뢰도를 개선할 수 있는 실질적이고 효과적인 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 한류기의 전력계통 적용 시 적용 방법론을 개발하는 데에 도움이 될 수 있도록 먼저, 한류기의 유형별 구조와 동작원리를 분석하였으며 주요 장단점들을 비교하였다. 다음, 한류기의 전력 계통에 대한 적용 효과를 검증하기 위해 한류기가 도입된 전력계통을 모델링하였다. 끝으로, EMTP-RV를 이용하여 3상 단락 고장을 모의한 후, 한류기의 적용 전과 후의 전류를 비교를 통해 한류기에 의해 고장 전류 감소하는 것을 확인함으로써 적용 효과를 검증할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a methodology was proposed to reduce the electrical level and spatial size of the smart grid with distributed generations (DGs) to a scale in which the electrical phenomena and control strategies for disturbances on the smart grid could be safely and freely experimented and observed. Based on the design methodology, a micro smart grid simulator with a substation transformer capacity of 190VA, voltage level of 19V, maximum breaking current of 20A and size of $2{\times}2m^2$ was designed by reducing the substation transformer capacity of 45MVA, voltage level of 23kV and area of $2{\times}2km^2$ of the smart grid to over one thousandth, and also reducing the maximum breaking current of 12kA of the smart grid to 1/600. It was verified that the proposed design methodology and designed micro smart grid simulator were very effective by identifying how all of the fault currents are limited to within the maximum breaking current of 20A, and by confirming that the maximum error between the fault currents obtained from the fault analysis method and the simulation method is within 1.8% through the EMTP-RV simulation results to the micro smart grid simulator model.

Copper-chromium alloys have been used as contact materials of vacuum interrupters in circuit breakers, but new materials with highly stable performance are required to break the high voltage and high current barrier due to the recent increase in breaking capacity. In this paper, a new contact material was fabricated from a ternary alloy instead of existing Cu-Cr alloys. Its breaking performance and endurance were verified from a synthetic test and compared with that of various contact materials. The test results verified that the breaking performance of the new contact material was excellent.

Testing capacity of KERI synthetic short-circuit testing facilities has been upgraded to fulfill the requirements up to 550kV 63kA, 1-break circuit breaker ratings. Specially the current capacity was increased 50kA to 63kA and the full type test of 362kV 63kA circuit breaker(1-break) was firstly completed in domestic. UP to now, domestic manufacturers have depended on the foreign testing laboratory for performance verification of newly designed products. This paper introduces the summary of the increased short-circuit testing facilities, the testing techniques and its results for the making and breaking performance of 362kV, 63kA circuit breaker which was Performed according to IEEE C37.06(1999) used in North America.

The rubblization technique is breaking the aged concrete pavement slab into rubblized concrete aggregate, and use it as an base material at its original position, then builds overlay above the rubblized base. This method has been successively used in USA due to the advantage of good contructibility, cost-effectiveness as well as the capability of preventing of reflection cracks. However, constructibility and economic performance of rubblization on typical Korean concrete pavements needed to be investigate since to typical Korean concrete pavements have thick slab, as well include lean concrete subbase course. This stud explored optimum breaking depth and suggested minimum 10cm based on reflection crack simulation test. Also proper head shape and impact energy were investigated based on small breaking field tests. It was found that $127kg/cm^2$ of stress with 52.3% of head contact area are breaking requirement. Also, Multi-head type breaker suitable for Korean condition was designed and developed. This multi-head type breaker was designed to rubblize old concrete to the suggested optimum rubblized-depth and rubblized-concrete-aggregate size to prevent reflection crack and maintain high bearing capacity. This machine was used for the test of rubblization of old concrete pavement on a non-use old concrete and a in-serviced road. In these two tests, engineering properties of rubblized base and constructability and cost were investigated. In both tests, the old concrete rubblized to targeted size and depth, and high-level bearing capacity was achieved. Also, superior constructability and lower cost compared with traditional reconstruction was examined.

Recently, a breaking capacity increases with breaking method using gas pressure from ablation materials in low voltage circuit breakers. In this paper, we investigated arc quenching materials with spectroscopic method. Especially, Hydrogen spectrum was investigated because its dielectric characteristics are better than other gases. We selected two arc quenching materials, UP and PA6, that use in circuit breakers. They had hydrogen spectrums, but PA6 was better than UP in the qualitative aspect.

We proposed a current Interruption type DC superconducting circuit breaker(I-DC SCB), a protection device that combines the current limiting technology of a superconductor with the cut-off technology of circuit breaker. Unlike existing protective devices, the current I-DC SCB is a device that combines two protection functions, notably improving failure probability and operational reliability. It is also applicable to all DC systems, such as HV, MV, and LVDC, due to the ease in capacity increase. The 100 kV I-DC SCB was designed after taking into account the actual power system conditions, followed by an analysis of the transient characteristics and the breaking range of the limiter. The results of the analysis showed that the I-DC SCB had a fault current limit of about 75% at the rated voltage, and completed the cut-off operation within about 20 ms.
