The application areas of traditional push-pull converters are limited because the voltage stress of switches is high (twice of the input voltage). But the push - pull converter topology is suitable for unregulated low-voltage to high-voltage power conversion such as the fuel cell. This paper presents a novel power converter structure that is very suitable for the DC/DC converter in fuel cell systems. Based on this structure, a ZVS- ZCS push-pull converter is proposed. The switches of the proposed push-pull converter can operate under ZVS or ZCS condition with the help of a new passive clamping circuit. The passive clamping techniques solves the voltage overshoot problem. Because the buck converter circuit operates at twice the synchronous switching frequency of the push-pull converter, the peak current in the current-fed inductor and transformer is reduced. The operation principle of the proposed converter is analyzed and verified by simulations and experimental results. A 1 kW DC/DC converter was implemented with DSP TMS320F2812, from which experimental results have shown that efficiency improvement and surge suppression can be achieved effectively.

In this study, we introduce some main functions and specifications of a recently commercialized potable compact high voltage generator. USB killer has been designed to test surge protection circuitry of electronic equipments using USB ports. USB killer transforms 5V DC power supplied by USB port into a sufficiently high voltage over 200V DC through oscillator, transformer, voltage multiplier, and rectifier. The power charged in a high-capacity condenser can be applied back into the electronic equipments as an electric shock to destroy them or test protection circuits. USB killer is a readily available item, and one can test a variety of electronic equipments. We introduce some test results known over the internet and those obtained from our tests.

PWM(pulse width modulation) rectifier has unit power factor and low harmonic distortion with high power conversion efficiency in entire loading range. These merits of PWM rectifier help the spread of DC distribution system. In addition, if multiple PWM rectifiers can be operated in parallel connection, maintenance process can be simple and reliability of power source can be advanced because of the hot swapping is available. The other way, the load unbalance among rectifiers can force a converter to stop by over current. The surge current by closed circuit composition between rectifiers can force switching devices damage. In this paper, some problems that can occur in case of parallel operation of PWM rectifiers and problem eliminating methods are considered.

A recurrent surge oscillograph(RSO) test was performed at the Taean thermal power plant on #5 turbine generator. The test was conducted using a rotor reflectometer and digital oscilloscope. A DC voltage step is applied to each end of the rotor winding in turn. Each reflected wave, at the input end of the winding, is monitored and the two waveforms are superimposed automatically and monitored on a single channel oscilloscope. As the half windings in a rotor are identical, the two waveforms monitored at each end of the rotor will also be identical for a healthy winding. A winding with a fault will cause different voltages to be monitored at the two ends.

본 논문에서는 지하철 인버터 회로에 사용 환경에 적합하면서 높은 과도 전압(dV/dt)에 견딜 수 있는 건식형 스너버용 커퍼시터를 설계 및 제작하여 특성을 검토하고자 한다. 필름 커패시터는 환경적 측면을 고려하여 에폭시 몰드형 건식형을 적용하였다. 증착 필름에 적용되는 금속은 Zn 전극에 비하여 Al 전극이 우수한 커패시터 특성을 나타내었으며 패턴의 경우에도 T-pattern에서 정전용량 및 손실의 변화율이 작게 나타났다. Al 금속전극에 wave-cut를 적용한 T - pattern 필름으로 DC 1650V, 12 uF, 정격전류 40 A의 커패시터를 제작하여 ESR 및 유전 손실이 적은 제품을 구현할 수 있으며 내구성 및 surge test 결과 신뢰성 규격을 만족하였다.

A, B 변전소간에 345kV 지중선로 4회선으로 Loop 운전 중 1개의 지중선로에 절연파괴 고장이 발생하였으며, 이때 4개의 지중송전선로가 모두 운전정지 되는 고장이 발생하였다. 고장이 발생한 선로는 정상적으로 보호계전기가 동작하였으나, 그 외 다른 선로의 보호계전기가 오동작하여 원인규명시험을 한 결과 외부고장시 CT 포화로 인해 보호계전기가 자단고장으로 인식하여 동작된 것으로 분석되었다. 본 논문에서는 CT 포화와 관련하여 DC성분, Surge, 2차 부담 등 여러가지 조건에 대하여 고찰함으로서 향후 전력계통의 다양한 고장에 대비하는데 도움이 되기를 기대한다.

This paper deals with the dynamic property of ground overvoltage relay in large turbine generator. Relay operation is based on detecting the fundamental voltages originating from the generator. Calculations of fault voltage and current are reviewed for the neutral ground resistance. The frequency, ampitude and waveform of individual harmonics were measured using power quality analyzer and memory hi-corder at the secondary side of ground potential transformer. The ac and dc high-potential tests were applied to evaluate the condition of generator, main and auxiliary transformer, isolated phase bus, potential transformer, surge capacitor and arrester.

A new zero voltage switching (ZVS) 2-transformer boost converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter has the advantage that the magnetizing inductor of the transformer acts for the boost inductor without additional inductor. Moreover, ZVS of main switches and auxiliary switches can be achieved, and the switch turn-off surge problem of conventional isolated boost converter is effectively solved. The operational principle, DC voltage gain, and ZVS characteristics are analyzed. To confirm the validity of the proposed converter, simulation results with 200w, 24Vdc/200Vdc specification are presented.

The sealing integrity is related to the safe operation of arrester the prime failure reason of porcelain housed arresters is moisture ingress. To be a meaningful tests a polymer arrester sealing test must be a realistic acceleration of field service. We think the test should be an accelerating course of actual temperatures, the enduring property to mechanical load and temperatures should be considered together. A union test method consisting of the thermal mechanical test and thermal cycling test is proposed to test the sealing integrity of polymeric arresters, which uses dielectric loss, leakage current 1mA DC voltage and partial discharge as the diagnostic techniques, and the test results were presented. The comparison states that the TMTCUT method is suitable fur the test of sealing integrity of polymeric arresters. .
