This paper deals with a proper installation methods of SPDs for information-oriented and computerized equipments. Since the information and computerized equipments have AC power lines and communication lines, the potential difference by lightning surge occurs between grounding points of the AC power lines and subscriber protectors, and it causes the flashover and damage. So, we have investigated the effect of the installation methods of surge protectors on the control of overvoltages, using a real-sized test circuit with a customer's facility. As a consequence, it was confirmed that the protection methods by installation of SPDs on the neighbor branch circuit was effective.

A current transformer (CT) is a type of sensor that consists of a combination of electric and magnetic circuits, and it measures large ac currents. When a large amount of current flows into the primary winding, the alternating magnetic flux in the iron core induces an electromotive force in the secondary winding. The characteristics of a CT are determined by the iron core design because the iron core is saturated above a certain magnetic flux density. In particular, when a large current, such as a current surge, is input into a CT, the iron core becomes saturated and the induced electromotive force in the secondary winding fluctuates severely. Under these conditions, the CT no longer functions as a sensor. In this study, the characteristics of the secondary winding were investigated using the time-difference finite element method when a current surge was provided as an input. The CT was modeled as a two-dimensional analysis object using constraints, and the saturation characteristics of the iron core were evaluated using the Newton-Rhapson method. The results of the calculation were compared with the experimental data. The results of this study will prove useful in the designs of the iron core and the windings of CTs.

Lightning and switching surges propagating through the grounding conductors lead to transient overvoltages, and electronic circuits in information technology systems are very susceptible to damage or malfunction from the electrical surges. Surge damages or malfunctions of electrical and electronic equipment may be caused by potential rises. To solve these problems, it is very important to evaluate the ground surface potential rises and hazardous voltages such as touch and step voltages at or near the grounding systems energized by electrical surges. In this paper, the performance of grounding systems against the surge current containing high frequency components on the basis of the actual-sized tests is presented. The ground surface potential rises and hazardous voltages depending on impulse currents for vertical or horizontal grounding electrodes are measured and analyzed. Also the touch and step voltages caused by the impulse currents are investigated. As a result, the ground surface potential rises, the touch and step voltages near the grounding electrodes are raised and the conventional grounding impedances are increased as the front time of the injected impulse currents is getting faster.

Modern electronic circuits are becoming more vulnerable to damage by surges, and it is required to improve the impulse withstand voltage performance of electrical and electronic equipment. This paper presents the impulse withstand voltage performance of lighting equipment connected to power lines, and the impulse withstand voltage tests for fluorescent lamp, LED lamp and halogen lamp were carried out according to the reference standards under normal service conditions. To conduct performance tests against lightning surge, a combination wave ($1.2/50{\mu}s$ voltage - $8/20{\mu}s$ current) was employed. The test surge was applied between lines or between line and ground of the specimen to be measured. The test surge was applied synchronized at the peak value of the positive and negative AC voltage waves. As a consequence, some specimens satisfied the impulse withstand voltage test criteria, but lighting equipment such as 36W fluorescent lamps, 5W and 5.5W LED lamps and 50W halogen lamp were damaged at the test voltage levels between power lines. It is needed to improve the qualities of lighting equipment to satisfy EMC immunity requirements of equipment for general lighting purposes.

In this paper, we proposed a selection and application recommendations of ZnO arresters for DC electric traction vehicles. To decide the Continuous Operating Voltage($U_C$), the Rated Voltage($U_r$), and the Nominal Discharge Current(In), we measured and analyzed system voltages and surge currents flowing the arrester installed on a DC electric traction vehicle under running state. System voltages measured up to 1,800 V in 1,500 V-system, and surge currents were recorded up to 3 times per a running-service-route and their magnitudes were ranges of $150A{\sim}2kA$. From these results and a standard EN50163, we could proposed $U_C$, $U_r$, and In available for the 1,500 VDC electric traction vehicles.

This paper dealt with the development of a surge protection device (SPD) that can protect high speed computer network devices from overvoltages caused by switching operations or lightning surges. The designed SPD is a form of hybrid circuit which is composed of a gas tube having large current diverting capability, high response bi-directional avalanche diodes, and fast recovery diodes to reduce insertion loss on high frequency domain. Surge protection and signal transmission characteristics of the fabricated SPD was tested according to the international standards, IEC 61000-4-5 and IEC 61643-21. From the test results, the SPD is satisfied with the international standards and the high cut-off frequency was 204MHz. Also, the SPD showed a good performance without an insertion loss on a field test of 100Mbps class Local Area Network

Recently, there are increasing social needs for safe operation of trains and comforting for passengers. But lightning surges are responsible for serious disturbances such as damage, permanent degradation or temporary erratic operation of sensitive electronics circuits and systems. The purpose of this paper is to identify the requirements for Surge Protective Devices(SPDs) used in protecting railway signalling system. In this paper, we describes tests and requirements which establish methods for testing SPDs and determining their performance.

본 논문은 2007년에 게재된 "지중배전케이블의 서어지 전파특성 실증연구"를 통해 검증된 서어지 전파특성을 고려하여 피뢰기를 이용한 보호효과를 ATP-EMTP(Electro-Magnetic Transient Program)로 해석하고 국내 상황에 적합한 보호방법을 제시하고자 한다. 국내 지중배전시스템은 입상주에 설치된 피뢰기에 의해 보호되고 있지만 서어지가 케이블의 말단 개방점에서 두배 정도로 상승하여 배전설비의 절연을 위협할 수 있으므로 추가적인 보호 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서 추가적인 보호 방법으로 제안하는 스카우트 방법은 입상주 피뢰기 전 후단 전주에 피뢰기를 추가 설치하는 방법으로 지중배전선로에 피뢰기를 설치하기 곤란한 경우나 지중배전선로용 엘보우 피뢰기를 개발하여 적용하는 것보다 경제성에서 유리하고 설치 및 유지보수 측면에서도 효과적일 것으로 기대된다.

접지시스템은 전기설비의 기준 전위점을 확보할 뿐만 아니라 대지에 낮은 저항으로 고장전류나 과도전류를 흐르게 한다. 주파수에 대한 함수로 접지 임피던스는 고장이나 과도전류가 넓은 범위의 주파수 성분을 포함하기 때문에 접지성능을 평가하는데 필요하다. 콘크리트봉은 배전계통에서 널리 쓰이는 접지전극중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 콘크리트봉의 접지 임피던스를 주파수 60[Hz]에서 100[kHz] 범위까지 측정하여 등가 접지임피던스 모델을 구하였다. 뇌서지가 유입되었을 때 EDSA 프로그램으로 과도접지임피던스의 수치와 파형을 시뮬레이션 하였다.
