This study aims to analyze the features of malfunction of an SFC that helps maintain the frequency of static rotation during the operation of a gas turbine in power plants where power generators and controllers have such a complicated structure as a nerve system, by using electric interference with peripheral devices and maintaining acquired data efficiently. Also, in order to track the possibility of malfunction by various surges and noises which may occur in the process of inserting an SFC during the operation of a gas turbine and to prepare protective measures for the possibility, the study intends to offer data for developing a surge protector suited to the features of a section that is supposed to incur the possibility of malfunction.

ZnO varistor and GDT(gas discharge tube) have proven to be good protective devices because of their flexibility and high reliability. ZnO varistors are characterized by their excellent nonlinear properties. GDTs are used for applications in communication or signaling circuits because they have very low capacitance. Therefore, It is very important to understand the V-I characteristic of ZnO varistor and GDT for designing SPD to protect apparatus or personnel from high transient voltage. This paper gives experimental V-I characteristic data of ZnO varistor and GDT for protecting electronic equipments from surge up to maximum discharge current.

The purpose of this paper is to identify the requirements for Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) used in protecting telecommunication and signalling system. All of these systems may be exposed to the effects of lightning and power line faults, either through direct contact or induction. These effects may subject the system to overvoltages or overcurrents or both, whose levels are sufficiently high to harm the system. SPDs are intended to provide protection against overvoltages and overcurrents caused by lightning and power line faults. This paper describes tests and requirements which establish methods for testing SPDs and determining their performance.

This paper presents design parameter calculation methodology and its realization to construction for the 10/350${\mu}s$ lightning impulse current generator(ICG) modelled as double exponential function waveform with characteristic parameters ${\alpha},{\beta}$. Matlab internal function, "fzero" was applied to find ${\lambda}={\alpha}/{\beta}$ which is solution of nonlinear equation linearly related with two wave parameter $T_1$ and $T_2$. The calculation results for 10/350${\mu}s$ lightning impulse current show very good accuracy with error less 0.03%. Two type of 10/350${\mu}s$ ICGs based on the calculated design circuit parameters were fabricated by considering the load variation. One is applicable to the MOV based Surge protective device(SPD) for less 15 kA and the other is to test small resistive devices such as spark gap arrester and bonding device with maximum current capability 30 kA. The tested waveforms show error within 10% in comparison with the designed estimation and the waveform tolerance recommended in the IEC 61643-1 and IEC 60060-1.
