This paper shows characteristics of fault current division factor $S_f$, which is a ratio of earth- return current to total fault current, at a substation fed exclusively by power cables under unsymmetrical fault condition, such as single line-to-ground fault. In substation grounding system design, $S_f$ is a very important factor determining GPR, touch and step voltage at a substation under fault condition. In case of substations fed by overhead lines, 40-60% of $S_f$ has been typically used, although it is a very conservative value with no other network conditions considered. It is authors' hope that $S_f$ presented in this paper could hopefully be a basic reference in designing of substation grounding system, especially for a substation fed exclusively by power cables.

Multilevel converter topologies are widely used in many applications. The cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHBMI), which is one of many multilevel converter topologies, has been introduced as a useful topology in high and medium power. However, it has a drawback to require a lot of switches. Therefore, the reliability of CHBMI is important factor for analyzing the performance. This paper presents a simple switch fault diagnosis method for single-phase CHBMI. There are two types of switch faults: open-fault and short-fault. In the open-fault, the body diode of faulty switch provides a freewheeling current path. However, when the short-fault occurs, the distortion of output current is different from that of the open-fault because it has an unavailable freewheeling current flow path due to a disconnection of fuse. The fault diagnosis method is based on the zero current time analysis according to zero-voltage switching states. Using the proposed method, it is possible to detect the location of faulty switch accurately. The PSIM simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of proposed switch fault diagnosis method.

Tower footing resistance and fault current division factor are important design factors for evaluation of the lightning performance of the transmission line and/or design of the grounding electrode system. The periodic measurement of those factors are also important to verify that the grounding performance of the towers has been maintained good. However, the direct measurement of those factors in operating or energized condition is very difficult because of many practical reasons, such as the difficulty of disconnecting overhead groundwires from the tower under test. With supports by GECOL (General Electricitiy Company of Libya), we had a special chance to conduct Fall-Of-Potential (FOP) test on the energized 220 kV transmission towers before and after disconnecting the overhead groundwires from the towers under test. In this paper, the FOP test results on the towers and the fault current division factors estimated from the comparision of the FOP tests with and without overhead groundwires were presented. The computer models for the FOP test simulations were also constructed to find that the simulated results agreed very well with the measured ones.

In case of a line-to-ground fault at transmission lines, a portion of fault current will flow into the earth through the footings of the faulted tower causing electrical potential rise nearby the faulted tower footings. In this situation, any buried pipelines or structures nearby the faulted tower can be exposed to the electrical stress by earth potential rise. Although many research works has been conducted on this phenomena, there has been no clear answer of the required separation distance between tower footings and neary buried pipeline because of its dependancy on the soil electrical charactersics of the concerned area and the faulted system. In this paper, an analytical formula to calculate the requried sepeartion distance from the faulted tower has been derived.

국내 배전선로는 다중으로 중성선을 접지하여 운영하고 있어 지락고장이 발생하면 큰 고장전류가 발생하며, 이는 중성선 및 가공 지선과 접지극으로 분류되어 전원측으로 귀로한다. 유도전력기술기준에서는 이 분류율을 배전선로의 경우 50%로 규정하고 있어 배전선로 신 증설시 통신선과의 이격거리 확보에 어려움이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 국내 배전선로의 1선 지락전류의 분류율을 기술적으로 검토하기 위해 배전선로 설계기준을 바탕으로 1선 지락고장전류의 대지유입률을 모의하고 그 결과를 분석하였다.

화강암류 암석은 일반적으로 절리 발달이 미약하고 단층파쇄대가 잘 발달하지 않는 등 공학적으로 양질의 암석에 해당된다. 그러나 산학지구 붕괴 비탈면을 구성하는 지반은 화강암류로 구성되었음에도 불구하고, 깊은 토사층을 가지며, 불연속면이나 단층 등의 지질구조는 거의 관찰되지 않고, 표층붕괴가 발생한 형태에 해당된다. 본 비탈면의 안정성 고찰을 위해 3가지 경우(현재 단면, 최초 설계 단면, 수정 설계 단면)에 대한 강우지속시간과 간극수압 변화, 안전율 등에 관한 해석을 수행하였다. 강우 지속시간이 길어질수록 지하수위는 높이 20 m까지 상승하는 것으로 나타났으며, 최초 설계단계 단면의 2일 지속강우 기간에는 안전율이 확보되는 것으로 확인되지만, 4일 강우지속기간 동안에는 허용안전율을 만족하지 못하는 것으로 확인되었다. 수정 설계 단면에서는 4일 강우지속기간에도 안전율이 확보되므로 산학 지구는 1:1.8 경사도로 절취하는 것이 영구적인 안정성을 확보하는 방안이라고 판단된다.
