This paper describes sheath voltage limiter(SVL) transient characteristics by switching overvoltage considering single point bonding in underground transmission cables. The crossbonding system is generally used for grounding methods of underground transmission system. However, the single point bonding system is used in selective area which is difficult to consist of crossbonding major section. The sheath voltage limiters are connected between joints in the single point bonding. Specially, the high overvoltage might be generated in that section as well as the aging of sheath voltage limiter might be progressed by various electrical stress including lightning overvoltage, switching overvoltage and power frequency overvoltage. Therefore, in this paper, the switching overvoltage characteristics in underground cables are firstly analysed using EMTP simulation. Then, the switching overvoltage of sheath voltage limiter is also studied in single point bonding. Finally, the reduction method of sheath voltage limiter switching overvoltage is proposed by various simulation studies including circuit breaker operating order.

In underground power cable system, the device for limiting over-voltage is needed when transient over-voltage break out between sheath and ground. For this reason, the SVL(Sheath Voltage Limiter) has been applied on weak points. But the broken SVLs which are installed on the single point bonding system on underground cable are frequently found. In this paper, EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program) is utilized to analyze effects on the installation methodology of the parallel ground conductor and SVL for the single point bonding system on the underground cable. The result shows that the proposed installation methodology can be applied for single point bonding system and contribute for power system stabilization.

If the fault occurs on the underground Power cable system, the fault current on the sheath has the influence on all sections because it's returned through earth at the directly grounded point and operation point of SVL(Sheath Voltage Limiter) at joint box. Therefore, the earth resistance and the operation of SVL have an effect on the zero-sequence current. Then the impedance between relaying point and fault point is Increased. That causes the overreach of distance relay. For these reasons, the distance relay algorithm for protecting of the underground power cable systems was developed. It effectively advance the errors using ACI(Advanced Computing Intelligence) technique. In this algorithm, the optimization was performed by fuzzy inference system and genetic algorithm.

If the fault occurs on the underground power cable systems, the fault current on the sheath has an influence on all sections of cable because it's returned through earth at the directly grounded point and operation point of SVL(Sheath Voltage Limiter) on each insulated joint box. Therefore, the earth resistance and the operation of SVL have an effect on the zero-sequence current, and then the impedance between relaying point and fault point is increased. That causes the overreach of distance relay. For these reasons, the distance relay algorithm for protecting an underground power cable systems hasn't been developed till now. In this paper, new distance relay algorithm is developed for protecting a underground power cable system using fuzzy inference system which is the one of ACI(Advanced Computational Intelligence) techniques. This algorithm is verified by EMTP simulation of real power cable system, and proves to effectively advance the errors

The protection of underground cables against transient overvoltages resulting from lightning and other causes is important in cable-line which is connected with overhead line and underground cable. This paper investigates the failure of SVL(Sheath Voltage Limiter) and presents the application of protection methods for single point bonding on underground transmission cable system. EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program) is used in order to study the overvoltages and modeling of components of the system such as, underground cables, SVLs and towers.

In underground power cable system, the apparent impedance at the relaying point can be changed because of the complicated configuration such as the various earth resistance and the operation of sheath voltage limiter (SVL). They have a bad effect on the distance relay operation Therefore, in this paper, in order to solve this problem, the authors are going to anly the advanced computational technique(ACI) of FR-FIS(Fuzzy Relation-based Fuzzy Inference System).

The role of SVL (Sheath voltage limiter) in cable system is to protect the PVC(or PE) jacket in case of transient overvoltage resulting from lightning and other causes. But, in Korea, there is so many SVL failure cases resulting from power frequency overvoltage. So, the paper investigates the phenomenon of failure SVL comparing with other countries' system. Finally, the installation of ECC(Earth Connectivity Conductor) in under ground cable system is presented to remove the possibilities of SVL thermal runaway due to the power frequency overvoltage.
