A difference based current transformer (CT) saturation detection algorithm uses the third difference of a secondary current to detect the instants of the beginning/end of saturation. The third difference of a secondary current contains high frequency components when a CT is saturated. Thus, an effect of an anti-aliasing lowpass filter implemented in digital protection relays on the detection algorithm should be studied. This paper describes performance analysis of a lowpass filter on the CT saturation detection algorithm. The cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter is normally set to be half of a sampling frequency. In this Paper, two sampling frequencies of 3,840 (Hz) corresponding to 64 sample/cycle (s/c) and 1,920 (Hz) corresponding to 32 (s/c) are studied; the cutoff frequencies of the lowpass filters are set to be 1,920 (Hz), 960 (Hz) and 960(Hz), 480(Hz), respectively. And the proposed algorithm is verified by experiment. A 2nd order Butterworth filter is designed as a lowpass filter. The test results and experiment results clearly indicate that the saturation detection algorithm successfully detects the instants of the beginning/end of saturation even though a secondary current is filtered by the designed lowpass filters.

This paper presents a new zero voltage switching (ZVS) converter for medium power and high input voltage applications. Three three-level pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuits with the same power switches are adopted to clamp the voltage stress of MOSFETs at $V_{in}/2$ and to achieve load current sharing. Thus, the current stresses and power ratings of transformers and power semiconductors at the secondary side are reduced. The resonant inductance and resonant capacitance are resonant at the transition interval such that active switches are turned on at ZVS within a wide range of input voltage and load condition. The series-connected transformers are adopted in each three-level circuit. Each transformer can work as an inductor to smooth the output current or a transformer to achieve the electric isolation and power transfer. Thus, no output inductor is needed at the secondary side. Three center-tapped rectifiers connected in parallel are used at the secondary side to achieve load current sharing. Compared with the conventional parallel three-level converters, the proposed converter has less switch counts. Finally, experiments based on a 1.44kW prototype are provided to verify the operation principle of proposed converter.

An online estimation method for wireless power transfer (WPT) systems is presented without using any measurement of the secondary side or the load. This parameter estimation method can be applied with a controlling strategy that removes both the receiving terminal controller and the wireless communication. This improves the reliability of the system while reducing its costs and size. In a wireless power transfer system with an LCCL impedance matching circuit under a rectifier load, the actual load value, voltage/current and mutual inductance can be reflected through reflected impedance measuring at the primary side. The proposed method can calculate the phase angle tangent value of the secondary loop circuit impedance via the reflected impedance, which is unrelated to the mutual inductance. Then the load value can be determined based on the relationships between the load value and the secondary loop impedance. After that, the mutual inductance and transfer efficiency can be computed. According to the primary side voltage and current, the load voltage and current can also be detected in real-time. Experiments have verified that high estimation accuracy can be achieved with the proposed method. A single-controller based on the proposed parameter estimation method is established to achieve constant current control over a WPT system.

The flux-coupling type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is composed of a series transformer and superconducting unit of the YBCO thin films. The primary and secondary coils in the transformer were wound in series each other through an iron core and the YBCO thin film was connected with secondary coil in parallel. In a normal condition, the flux generated from a primary coil is cancelled out by its structure and the zero resistance of the YBCO thin films. When a fault occurs, the resistance of the YBCO thin films was generated and the fault current was limited by the SFCL. In this paper, we investigated the fault current limiting characteristics according to fault current level in the flux-coupling type SFCL. The experiment results that the fault current limiting characteristics was improved according to increase of the fault current level.

In many countries, including Korea, in order to transmit the more electric power, the higher transmission line voltage is inevitable. So, a rapid reclosing scheme is important for UHV transmission lines to ensure requirements for high reliability of main lines. But, because of the high voltage and long span of UHV lines, the secondary arc current flows across the fault point even after the interruption of the fault current. i.e. A critical aspect of reclosing operation is the extinction of the secondary arc since it must extinguish before successful reclosure can occur. In Korea transmission lines, it is scheduled to energize 765kV single transmission line(79km) between Sin-Ansung S/S and Sin-Gapyeong S/S at June 2006. Therefore this paper analyzes characteristics of the secondary arc extinction on 765kV single transmission line using EMTP. Simulation results shows that the average value of the secondary arc is $30A_{rms}$ and the auto-extinction time of it is longer at closer point to Sin-Gapyeong S/S.

The purpose of this study was to investigate Korean secondary school students' perceptions of science and technology related social problems and STS education to ascertain the extent to which the current science programs incorporate STS themes. Students indicated that STS related problems or STS issues were given little attention in their science classes, even though they believed that studying those problems would be important. Results of the study support the contention of need for more attention to the implementation of STS themes into current Korean science education.

National standard system for calibrating current transformer(CT) up to primary current of 20,000A have been established. The system consists of 20,000 A AC high current source, CT comparator, standard CT, CT under test and CT burden. An AC high current is applied tn the primary windings of both the standard CT and the CT under test, and then the CT comparator measures the ratio error and the phase displacement by comparing the secondary currents of the two transformers. As a validity check for 20,000 A CT calibration system, the comparison with the two national standard institutes(NMIs) has been performed using same CTs. The comparison results of the CTs are consistent with those measured at two NMIs within 0.004 % for ratio error and 0.1 min for phase displacement in the primary current ranges of Ip = 10 - 20,000 A with a secondary current of Is = 5 A.

대형의료기기는 환자 진단과 치료 행위에 있어서 매우 중요한 기기이다. 이런 대형의료기기를 사용하여 환자를 진단 또는 치료할 때 의료기기의 회로 내에서 갑작스런 전류의 변화는 회로의 단락 등 매우 심각한 문제를 일으킨다. 특히 회로 내에서 전류변환기에 큰 부하가 걸리게 한다. 이것으로 인해 변환기는 포화에 이르게 되는데 이것은 철심코일 인턱터의 magnetic curve에 기인한다. 이와 같이 변환기가 saturate에 이르게 되면 1차 측과 2차 측의 변환 비율이 깨지게 되고 회로가 단락되는 문제가 발생하게 된다. 이 논문 에서는 대형의료기기에 사용되는 current 변환기의 입력 측에 갑작스런 큰 전류 변화가 발생 했을 때 일어나는 그에 따른 포화 상태와 그의 2차 측 전류의 변화를 simulation 해본다.

다중 만곡부에서의 주흐름과 이차류의 흐름 특성을 분석하기 위하여 중심각 120$^{\circ}$인 두 개의 만곡부로 이루어진 사행수로에서 실험을 수행하였다. 실험수로의 횡단면은 직사각형과 곡선형 두 가지 형태로 제작하였으며, 곡선형 단면 형상 결정에는 베타함수를 이용하였다. 3차원 유속장의 측정은 micro-ADV를 이용하였다. 실험결과, 직사각형 수로에서 주흐름은 수로의 가장 짧은 경로를 따라 발생하였으며, 이는 기존 연구자들의 결과와 일치한다. 곡선형 수로에서도 주흐름이 직사각형 수로에서의 주흐름의 거동과 비슷한 양상을 보이는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 곡선형 수로에서의 실험결과가 실제 자연하천의 만곡부에서의 주흐름 거동(최심선을 따라 발생)과 상이하게 나타나는 이유는 실험수로의 바닥 조도와 사행도에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 이차류의 정량적인 분석을 위하여 흐름함수를 도입한 결과, 만곡부에서 주 셀 뿐만 아니라 바깥제방 셀의 위치 및 형태를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 이차류 강도를 계산한 결과, 직사각형 및 곡선형 수로에서 최대값은 두 번째 만곡부의 정점 부근에서 가장 크게 나타나며 곡선형 수로의 이차류의 강도가 직사각형 수로의 값보다 크게 나타나고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 직사각형 수로의 경우, 하폭 대 수심비가 커질수록 이차류의 강도가 증가하고 있음을 확인하였다.

a current stress reduction technique for a boost integrated half-bridge (BIHB) DC/DC converter with voltage doubler type rectifier is proposed for digital car audio amplifier application. In the proposed circuit, two external capacitors are added parallel to the rectifier diodes in the secondary side of the transformer to shape the primary and the secondary current like rectangular waveforms in every switching instance. The experimental results of a 200W industrial sample show that the peak primary current decreases about by 10A. Thus, the proposed technique shows improved high efficiency.
