The switching noise in the power electronics of the power conversion equipment (Power Conditioning System) for large energy storage devices are generated. Since the burst-level transient noise from being generated in the power system at a higher power change process influences the control circuit of the low voltage driver circuit. Noise may cause the malfunction of the control device even if no dielectric breakdown leads to a control circuit. To overcome this, this paper proposes the installation of an additional nano-surge protection device on the power supply DC output circuit of the battery management unit.

Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) are widely used as surge protectors for commnuication applications due to their small internal capacitance. In these days, however, they are mostly used in combined configurations, because the activation voltage required to initiate the discharge process in the GDTs for sufficient amount of time can be large enough to damage surge-sensitive protected circuits. For GDTs with a considerably high initial over-voltage value, we should limit the peak voltage using a TVS or filter. As for ZnO varistors, even though their performance for voltage restriction is excellent, their applications in high-frequency commnuication circuits have been limited because of higher internal capacitance when compared to the GDTs. In order to develop a surge protector for commnuication applications by taking advantages of these two devices, we built a combination circuit that connects a GDT and a ZnO varistor along with a choke coil in common and differential modes. We describe how the applied SPDs operate in protection process steps with the actual data obtained from the residual voltage measurements at each step. The experiment results show that the surge voltage restriction with the choke coil is more effective in 100 [kHz] RingWave voltage than in lightning impulse voltage.

As the huge economical loss and function paralysis of information technology-based systems can be caused by the misoperation of residual current devices(RCDs) due to surge voltages and currents, RCDs shall not operate by surge currents. In this paper, in order to evaluate the reliability of residual current operated circuit-breakers with integral overcurrent protection for household and similar uses((RCBOs) stressed by surges, the unintended trip characteristics of RCBOs under surge currents were experimentally investigated using the combination wave generator. Seven different types of single-phase RCBOs being present on the domestic market were investigated according to KS C IEC 61009-1 standard. As a result, all kinds of specimens were satisfied the requirements for 0.5 [${\mu}s$]/100[kHz] ring wave impulse currents. Most of specimens stressed by the 8/20[${\mu}s$] impulse current tripped at least one or more, and some of them were broken down during consecutive tests. It was found that only one type of specimens meets the L-N mode immunity to the combination wave of 1.2/50[${\mu}s$] impulse voltage and 8/20[${\mu}s$] impulse current.

정보통신망 신호선로는 전원선과 더불어 가공선로로 구성되어 있어 뇌서지에 대한 노출이 심각하다. 전원선로의 접지와 통신선로 접지 상호간에 나타나는 전위차로 인하여 통신선에 접속된 전자장비는 뇌서지에 의해 쉽게 손상될 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 뇌서지로부터 정보통신설비를 신뢰성 높게 보호하는 기법을 개발할 목적으로 실규모 회로에서 서지보호장치의 성능과 신뢰성에 대한 실증실험을 수행하였다. 전원선과 통신선을 통하여 입사한 뇌서지 에 대한 서지보호장치의 동작특성과 보호장치의 설치방법이 뇌서지 보호효과에 미치는 협조특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 정보통신설비용 뇌서지 보호장치를 바이패스 어레스터를 이용한 공통접지법으로 설치하는 것이 매우 효과적임을 확인하였다.

This paper describes a new transient voltage suppressor(TVS) with a low insertion loss and a high cut-off frequency to protect antenna circuit from transient voltages. Conventional protection devices have some problems such as a low frequency bandwidth and a high insertion loss. In order to improve these limitations, a coaxal type TVS, which consists of a gas tube is developed. The performance of the proposed transient voltage suppressor is tested by using a combination surge generator specified in IEC 61000-4-5 standard and by using a network analyzer of 40 MHz ${\sim}$ 5 GHz bandwidth. From the experimental results, it is confirmed that the proposed TVS has an enough protection performance in a low insertion loss and a high cut-off frequency.

After flashover occurs on the overhead distribution line by lighting strokes(direct or induced), the power frequency arc current continues. If lightning flashover occurs on the overhead lines using covered conductors, the power frequency art current with fixed path overheats the conductor, and arc fusion fault can be occurred. There are two categories protecting or reducing methods of arc fusion faults caused by lightning stokes. - Reducing lightning flashover rate : G/W, LA, etc. - Protection by AFPD(Arc Fusion Protection Device) : power follow current interruption. This paper presents lightning surge phenomena on overhead distribution lines and protecting performance of arc fusion Protection devices to the lightning strokes nearby overhead line.

In this paper, the lightning-induced voltages on shielded twisted-pair wires with multipoint grounding on cable sheath are calculated by using finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method. The equivalent single-wire line that represents a bundle of twisted-pair wires is adopted for computational efficiency. A finitely conducting ground is also taken into account in both lightning electromagnetic field calculations and surge propagation along the shielded cable for a practical simulation. It is found that multipoint additional grounding on cable sheath provides more shielding effectiveness especially in the early time response of the lightning-induced voltages. From this study, the requirements for lighting surge protection devices in a telecommunication subscriber cab1e can be established.

소형의 반도체와 회로로 구성되어진 전자기기는 뇌과전압으로부터 ZnO 바리스터, 지너다이오드, 가스방전관과 같은 서지보호장치 (SPDs)에 의해 보호되고 있다. 그러나 SPD의 제한전압은 SPD의 설치방법에 따라 커다란 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 전원계통의 접지방식에 따른 SPD의 보호효과에 대하여 실험적으로 검토하였다. 독립접지는 SPD의 설치방법에 있어서 그다지 바람직하지 않다. 또한 가스방전관보다 ZnO 바리스터의 한 점을 공통접지하는 것이 더 효과적이다. SPD의 단자에 공통접지하는 것이 SPD의 설치방법에 있어서 가장 효과적임을 제안하였다.

Recently, fuel cell generation system with high energy efficiency and low CO2 emission is energetically interconnected with distribution power system. Especially, MCFC(molten carbonate fuel cell) operating at high temperature conditions is commercialized and installed as a form of large scale power generation system. However, it is reported that power system disturbances such as harmonic distortion, surge phenomenon, unbalance current, EMI(Electromagnetic Interference), EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and so on, have caused several problems including malfunction of protection device and damage of control devices in the large scale FCGS(Fuel Cell Generation System). Under these circumstances, this paper proposes countermeasure algorithms to prevent power system disturbances based on the modelling of PSCAD/EMTDC and P-SIM software. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that proposed algorithms are useful method for the stable operation of a large scale FCGS.
