Impedance analysis of a Solenoid sensor to detect the cross-sectional area of non-ferromagnetic stranded conductors is described in this paper. To inspect electromagnetic characteristics of conductive materials, a nondestructive test eddy current sensor with an encircling coil is chosen. As solving Maxwell equation, normalized impedance response of the sensor within a conducting rod is modeled and the results are expanded to the stranded wires. Geometrical property affecting on stranded structure is considered and a numerical and experimental study is also presented.

The objective of this study is to develop an optimal drawing die for the clad wire drawing process. Cu-clad wire, which has the advantages of the high strength of a steel core and the electro-conductivity, corrosion resistance of a copper layer, is widely being used in the field of the telecommunications, electric-electronic and military technology industries. It is important to obtain uniformly coated rate when producing clad wires. Drawing process of clad wire will be influenced on damage and coated rate of core and sleeve for process variables such as semi-die angle and reduction in area. Therefore, in this study, the finite-element result obtained in this study was analyzed to the effect of the various forming parameters, which included the semi-die angle and reduction in area. The coated rate will be predicted with observation of copper coated rate variation according to total reduction in area and the optimal pass schedule will be set up through proper reduction in area and semi-die angle variation.

Measuring ground resistance has been a popular method of evaluation of the grounding electrode performance. If some portions of grounding electrodes are lost by corrosion, aging or other reasons, consequent deteriotation of the grounding performance would be resulted. It is one of the reasons why it is required to evaluate the performance of grounding systems regularly. However, in case of the electric facilities with multi-grounded system such as power substations with multi-grounded overhead ground wires and/or distribution line neutrals, it is practically difficult to disconnect neutrals or skywires from the substation grounding mesh for the ground resistance measurement. In this paper, a method for the grounding performance measurement of multi-grounded systems, which is based on the measuring ground current distributions, has been proposed. A field test results has shown the validity of the proposed test method.

The electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique have been applied to fabricating superconducting films and wires in former researches of our Lab. However, the particles of EPD films were usually deposited random1y on the metal substrate, the vertically combined a.c and d.c fields were applied to the EPD electrodes for orienting and densifying the particles of high $T_{c}$ superconducting deposition film on the substrate metal. Therefore, the surface states of EPD films by this combined fields could be oriented and affect to the electric properties increasing of superconducting films. The proposed method modified by a.c. assisted field to the conventional electrophoresis system was suitable to obtain improved properties with particle oriented deposition and densification.

The line impedance is important data that is applied in all analysis fields of electric power system like power flow, fault current, stability and relay calculation etc. Usually, impedance can be accurately calculated in case of overhead line. However, in case of power cables or combined transmission lines, impedance can not be accurately calculated because cable systems have the sheath, grounding wires, and earth resistance. Therefore, if there is a fault in cable system, these terms will severely be caused much error to calculation of impedance. Therefore, the line impedance were measured for this study in an actual power system of underground cables, and were analyzed by a generalized circuit analysis program EMTP for comparison with the measured value. These analysis result is considered to become foundation of impedance calculation for underground cable.

The evaluation of the electromechanical properties of HTS CC tapes is one of the foremost procedures to be done to ensure the applicability of superconducting wires to electric devices. A precise measurement of the stress and strain is important in deriving the mechanical properties under operating environment. Up to now, there is no standard test method yet for the electromechanical property evaluation of HTS tapes under self field and external magnetic field although there are already reports on the different devices used to evaluate these properties. Strain can be measured by adopting a strain gauge or a high resolution double extensometer. In this study, strain effect on $I_c$ in HTS CC tapes under magnetic fields was evaluated. Comparison of advantages and setback of strain measuring devices were discussed. In addition, a dual strain measurement system using both the SG and extensometer may be practical to lessen the burden in case one of the measuring devices does not work well.

Recently, higher speeds have been promoted in old overhead-lines. For high-speed operation in electric railways, increasing contact loss of the pantograph is one of the most important subjects. The contact loss causes power interruption and increases wear of contact strips and contact wires. In order to investigate the causes of contact loss and to work out effective improvement methods, theoretical analyses, experiments have been carried out. First of all, the wave propagating velocity (phase velocity) and characteristics of contact wire are one of the important indices for the current collecting performance. In this paper, mathematical formula arc derived for the prediction of the traveling wave velocity. The measured values in the experiment agree well with the theoretical predictions.

The Arc fault is primary reason of electric fire. so we must detect. the purpose of this study is to extend our knowledge of AC-arc characteristics and detect. The Arcs are produced by separating two electrodes made with graphite and copper. A very low separation speed allows arcs to reinitiate, as in arc fault in wires. Power is 220Vrms-60Hz and the load is light bulbs and capacities are 220W, 660W and 1100W. I measured Arc voltage and current. and defined voltage and current Max level, voltage plateau and Arc-power at each cycle.
