This paper presents the results of a investigation, a development of the measuring system for grounding properties in live-line. The importance of the grounding system and it's property has been increased with the development, enlarge in capacity, of electrical industry. Moreover, with the rapid growth of communication and precision industry, now, we should consider the grounding properties to ensure the stable and/or safe operation. But the conventional measuring system is not proper to measure the grounding properties of the system, voltage applied. So, in this investigation, we proposed a new method for live-line measurement and develope the system. And through the field test we could confirm the superior performance of th developed system.

Earth resistivity and changing of grounding electrode's shape are very important factor to reduce grounding resistance. Earth resistivity has different values according to property of soil and is effected by temperature, climate, and environment. This Paper describes the effect of the grounding resistance according to the grounding type such as driven rod, counterpoise grounding and mesh grounding. And also grounding resistance values with earth resistivity and shape of grounding electrode were represented in this paper.

The aim of the present paper is to clarify the damage characteristics fur ship bottom stiffened platings in grounding. For this purpose, a series of tests are performed. A rigid wedge is quasi-statically pushed into the high tensile steel plates with two stiffeners. The aspect ratio of plates(a/B) is in the range from 1.0 to 2.5 and the thickness of plates is in the range from 3.4 to 7.0mm. Also other parameters, namely the shape of wedge tip, wedge angle and property/direction of stiffeners are varied. The test is carried out using the 100ton universal test machine. During the loading. both applied force and length of cutting(penetration) resulting in the grounding force-penetration response are measured.

In electric power supply systems, an earthing system determines the electric potential of the conductors related to that of the Earth's surface. The choice of earthing system has implications for the safety of the power supply systems. There are considerably different regulations for earthing (grounding) systems in each country. A protective earth(PE) conductor ensures that all exposed conductive surfaces are at the same electric potential as the earth surface. This paper deals with that when PEN conductor of TN-C-S system is disconnected, dangerous touch voltage causes personnel body to be harmed and human being's property to be damaged seriously. For this reason, this paper explains how serious problems can occur when the fault current flows. As a consequence, we can understand how we can design earthing system properly to ensure the personnel safety against earth faults. The result shows the way that TN-C-S system can be applied safely in Korea.

To obtain a low ground resistance in high resistivity soil or in insufficient place such as downtown, long vertical ground rods are often used. However, if the lightning current or fault current with high frequency flows into the grounding system, the ground impedance is remarkedly increased. This paper presents how the impulse and fault current works on the long. vertical ground rods associated with incoming points. When the test current was injected at the bottom of ground rod, the potential waveform of ground rod includes the oscillation with high frequency.

In this paper, the fault line selection and location problems of single line-to-ground (SLG) fault in distribution network are addressed. Firstly, the adaptive filtering property for empirical mode decomposition is formulated. Then in view of the different characteristics showed by the intrinsic mode functions(IMF) under different fault inception angles obtained by empirical mode decomposition, the sign of peak value about the low-frequency IMF and the capacitance transient energy is chosen as the fault line selection criteria according to the different proportion occupied by the low-frequency components. Finally, the fault location is determined based upon the comparison result with adjacent fault passage indicators' (FPI) waveform on the strength of the interaction between the distribution terminal unit(DTU) and the FPI. Moreover, the logic nodes regarding to fault line selection and location are newly expanded according to IEC61850, which also provides reference to acquaint the DTU or FPI's function and monitoring. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed fault line selection and location methods.

Since the fire accident of ESS (energy storage system) occurred at Gochang KEPCO Power Testing Center in August 2017, 29 fire cases with significant property losses have occurred in Korea. Although the cause of fire accidents have not been identified precisely, it should be considered battery and PCS (power conditioning system) as well as unbalance issues in the distribution system. In particular, circulating currents in a neutral line of a grid-connected transformer, which can affect a magnetized current, may have a negative effect on the ESS with unintentional core saturation and surge voltages at the secondary side of the transformer. Therefore, this paper proposes the modeling of the distribution system, which was composed of a substation, grid-connected transformer, and customer loads using PSCAD/EMTDC S/W, to analyze the phenomena of circulating current and surge voltages of the transformer with unbalanced currents in the distribution system. This paper presents a countermeasure for a circulating current with the installation of NGR (neutral grounding resistor) in grid-connected transformer. From the simulation results, it is clear that exceeding the circulating current and surge voltage at the secondary side of the transformer can be one of the causes of fire accidents.

A large variety of mineral pigments has been used for Korean paintings and it has known that organic pigments have been used together on the Buddhist painting and the portrait. Haehakbando-do, which is from Honolulu Academy Museum in the United States, 12-fold screen was commissioned by Court of the late Joseon Dynasty in order to pray for the King's longevity. Therefore, it seems that all material used including pigments were selected very carefully and a great deal of technical effort was gone into its process. The purposes of this research were to estimate the pigments and the contributory elements of each color used on Haehakbando-do, in accordance with the conservation treatment carried out by Gochang Conservation Institute throughout last year. Without extracting sample, property of pigment was measured by nondestructive method, X-ray spectral analysis, and by comparing with the data about ancient pigments. In spite of the limited range of pigment analysis by nondestructive method, it should be noted that this method would not cause damage to the cultural properites. White pigment was found in all colored parts except the background, so it can be suggested that white color was used as a grounding of other color pigments. This would be flake white[$2PbCO_3{\cdot}Pb(OH)_2$] as Pb was found. Pb was the only element could be found in yellow, however, it can be organic pigment like Gamboge as same as background. Red would be Cinnabar (HgS) as hydrargyrum (Hg) was detected. For the light purple in cloud, organic pigments were probably used since any element is not detected except for Pb, which is used for background. It is possible that green color is the mixture of Malachite[$CuCO_3{\cdot}Cu(OH)_2$] and Azurite [$2CuCO_3{\cdot}Cu(OH)_2$], which share Cu as their main element. Azurite[$2CuCO_3{\cdot}Cu(OH)_2$] was used for bluish pigments. Black is carbon compound. For gold, solid gold (Au) was detected. It shows that gold was gilded on the flake white background. Red painted on the frame of screen was identified as Cinnabar (HgS) and the gold pattern was solid gold (Au). The supporting leg of folding screen was made of brass because both copper and zinc were detected. In conclusion, white pigment was used as grounding of all colors of Haehakbando-do, and specific pigments were used for each color. Additionally, result from the analysis of several pigments shows that mineral pigment and organic pigment, or different mineral pigments were mixed to make various colors.
