This paper carried out the comparative analysis on ground impedance of a carbon block and a copper rod. Two types of grounding electrode were compared ; a carbon block (L : 1 m, ${\Phi}$ : 245 mm) buried at a depth of 0.8 m and a three-linked copper rod (L : 1 m, ${\Phi}$ : 10 mm) of equilateral triangles with 1 m spacing. Ground impedance depending on applied current source was evaluated by the application of a sine wave current with 60 Hz ~ 3.5 MHz, a fast-rise pulse with rising time of 200 ns, a standard lightning impulse of $8/20{\mu}s$ and a 600 Hz square wave. Ground impedance for both electrodes were almost the same value below 100 kHz, and increased rapidly afterwards. The maximum ground impedance appeared $400{\Omega}$ at around 1.5 MHz. Ground impedance of the carbon block was lower at the square wave and was higher at fast-rise pulse than that of the copper rod. Also, ground impedance as ages showed no difference for the last 8 months. From the results, it is likely that ground performance for both electrodes shows no difference against commercial frequency and lightning impulse current, while the copper rod shows better performance against a fast-rise pulse with rise-time of a few hundred ns.

Lightning has a broad frequency spectrum from DC to a few MHz. Consequently, the high frequency performance of grounding systems for protection against lightning should be evaluated, with the distributed parameter circuit model in a uniform soil being used to simulate grounding impedances. This paper proposes a simulation method which applies the distributed parameter circuit model for the frequency-dependent impedance of vertically driven ground rods by considering multi-layered soil structures where ground rods are buried. The Matlab program was used to calculate the frequency-dependent ground impedances for two ground rods of different lengths. As a result, an increase of the length of ground rod is not always followed by a decrease of grounding impedance, at least at a high frequency. The results obtained using the newly proposed simulation method considering multi-layered soil structures are in good agreement with the measured results.

154kV insulator strings are frequently damaged by lightning strokes, overvoltage and contamination. And this insulator damage inflicts a loss on the power company. The purpose of this paper is to develop the arcing horn as a protective device of 154kV insulator strings against lightning flashover and overvoltages. So We have developed the arcing horn which is suitable for 154kV transmission line and estimated the performance of arcing horn by high current arcs and high voltage tests.

This paper discusses comparative analysis of the effects of surge protection devices (SPD) upon the power line communication channels. The quality of the data transmission channel is measured based on the data rate for the various channel parameters which include channel length and application method of the lightning protection device. The performance measurements are also carried out for various lengths of the communication channel. Experiment results show that specific combination of SPDs applied in the network causes severe degradation of the channel quality which is associated with the combination of grade levels and channel lengths.

The simulation study of lightning faults reducing effects by the installation of surge arresters on the 154 kV transmission line is stated here. For the purpose of detailed simulation of arcing horn, a flashover model with dynamic characteristics of arcing horn gap was represented as a non-linear inductance which is controlled by EMTP/TACS(Electromagnetic Transient Program/fransient Analysis of Control Systems) switches. The back flashover inducing current was increased from 50 kA to 88 kA by the installation of surge arresters on the transmission line which has one ground wire and 20 ohms of tower footing resistances. The great advantage of surge arrester installation on one circuit of the double circuit transmission line is to prevent the simultaneous back flashover up to 190 kA.

This paper deals with the surge counter drived by lightning and switching currents. In order to install the effective surge protective devices, it is important to find the parameters of incident surges. In this paper, for the purpose of protecting the electronic circuits and counting the occuring frequency, the current driving type surge counter is designed and fabricated. The surge counter consists of surge protective divices, current detector, metal oxide varistor(MOV), rectifier, capacitor, and electromagnetic counter. This surge counter is able to count the occuring frequency of surges and to clamp lightning surge current. To evaluate the performance of the surge counter, impulse voltage and current were applied at the surge counter by the surge generator. As a result, applied surges were exactly counted and clamped.

비록 접지저항은 접지전극의 접지성능을 좌우하는 지수이기는 하지만, 과도상태에서는 접지 성능을 반영하지 못한다. 동봉은 배전계통에서 가장 많이 쓰이는 접지전극이다. 본 논문에서는 동봉의 접지 임피던스를 주파수 60[Hz]에서 100[kHz] 범위까지 측정하여 등가 접지임피던스 모델을 구하였다. 뇌격서지가 유입되었을 때 MATLAB 프로그램으로 과도접지임피던스의 수치와 파형을 시뮬레이션하였다.

본 논문은 뇌격전류에 따른 저압 배전계통의 전자식 전력량계 및 배전 패널의 통신설비와 전원장치를 보호할 목적으로 사용하는 서지보호장치(SPD)에 관한 것이다. 서지보호장치(SPD)는 접속방식에 따라 1-포트 서지보호장치(SPD)와 감결합 요소를 포함한 2-포트 서지보호장치(SPD)로 구분된다. 뇌격전류에 대한 내부 시스템의 보호는 협조된 서지 보호체계를 이루는 계통적인 접근이 필요하다. 이에 대응하기 위해 이론적인 검토를 통해 피뢰구역(LPZ) 정의에 대한 고찰 및 해석을 진행하였다. 뇌서지에 의한 뇌격전류는 상당히 크기 때문에 하나의 서지보호장치(SPD)로 방호하기에는 한계가 발생하며, 이를 해결하기 위해 다단의 종속적으로 서지보호장치(SPD)를 설치하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 전력계통에 있어 한전계통에 연계되는 Incoming side가 아닌 건물 내에 설치되는 분기형 배전패널 내부의 전자식 전력량계 및 각종 통신(제어)설비를 보호할 목적으로 한전계통이 연계되는 MOF 단에 설치되는 LPZ0에 해당하는 피뢰기(LA, SA)와 보호협조를 이루는 LPZ1과 LPZ2의 경계영역에 설치하는 저압 배전계통용 II등급 서지보호장치(SPD)에 대해 설계를 하였다. 또한 감결합 요소가 없고, 부하 전류를 흘릴 수 있는 직렬 접속 방식의 1-포트 서지보호장치(SPD)에 대한 최적의 설계 방안을 도출하고 실험을 통해 기존의 방식과 비교하여 성능 개선과 관련한 검증을 실시하였다.
