This paper describes the design and fabrication of high frequency ground impedance measuring system for assessment of grounding system for Lightning protection. The ground impedance measuring system has been designed and fabricated which makes it possible to assess the ground impedance by frequency ranges from 100 Hz to 1 MHz. The effective grounding systems having a very low impedance to electromagnetic disturbance such as lightning surges and noises in microelectronics and high-technology branches are strongly required. In order to analyze the dynamic characteristic of grounding system impedances in lightning and surge protection grounding systems, it is highly desirable to assess the ground impedances as a measure of performance of grounding system in which lightning and switching surge currents with fast rise time and high frequency flow. The measuring system is based on the variable frequency power supply and consists of signal circuit part, main control part, data acquisition and processing unit, and voltage and current probe system. The ground impedance measuring system can be used to assess grounding system during occurrence of lightning.

The monitoring and diagnosing technique for lightning arresters is important to assure the reliability of power supply in GIS-substation. In this paper, we described the implementation of an expert system for GIS arrester facilities. The proposed system consists of a data acquisition module (DAM), a wireless communication module, and a personal computer. The DAM detects system voltages, total leakage currents and its harmonic components, and includes an algorithm to calculate the resistive leakage current by the principle that the magnitudes of resistive leakage current are equal at the same level of the system voltage applied to the arrestor. Also, we designed a surge event detection circuit which can acquire the date, the polarity, and the amplitude of surge events. All the acquired data are transmitted after correction by many algorithms to the remote station through the ZigBee protocol. The expert system is based on the Jave Expert System Shell (JESS) and make more reliable decision by using an exclusive inference process.

심매설 접지봉의 경우 장마철에 빗물이나 지하수와 접촉하는 경우가 발생한다. 수중에 잠겨있는 접지극에 서지 전압이 인가되면 접지극 주변에서 이온화 현상이 발생하게 된다. 지중이나 수중에서의 이온화 현상은 접지 시스템의 에너지적인 특성에 의해 영향을 받는다. 이 논문의 목적은 축소된 전해 수조를 이용하여 임펄스 전압에 의한 접지시스템의 과도특성을 파악하는데 있다. 매틀랩 프로그램을 활용하여 이온화에 의한 전위저감과 방출된 에너지를 측정하여 정량적인 분석을 수행하였다. 접지극 끝단의 최대 전압은 물의 저항률과 Marx형 전압발생장치의 충전전압에 따라 다양하게 나타났다. 접지극 끝단의 전위는 절연파괴전압에 이르기 전 인가전압에서 대략 절반까지 감소하였다. 또한 절연파괴가 발생하기 전 인가된 에너지의 절반 이상의 에너지가 이온화에 의해 접지극을 통하여 방출되었다.

V₂O₅/Mn₃O₄/Nb₂O₅ codoped zinc oxide varistor ceramics were sintered at a temperature range as low as 875~950℃. The voltage clamping characteristics of V₂O₅/Mn₃O₄/Nb₂O₅ codoped zinc oxide varistor ceramics were investigated at a pulse current range of 1~50 A. The sintering temperature had a significant effect on clamp voltage ratio, which exhibits surge protection capabilities. The varistor ceramics sintered at 875℃ exhibited the best clamping characteristics, in which the clamp voltage ratio was 2.69 at a pulse current of 50 A. The varistor ceramics sintered at 900℃ exhibited the highest electrical stability, where = 3,824 V/cm (initial 3,909 V/cm), and E_{1 mA/cm²} = 27 (initial 39) after application of a pulse current of 100 A.

The most important object of grounding systems is to protect human being from electric shock. Touch and step voltages are measured to evaluate the performances of grounding systems. Dangerous voltages have been largely studied by the power frequency fault currents, on the other hand, the ground current containing the high frequency components and surge currents haven't been considered. Many attempts about the grounding impedances reported in these days show that the performance of the grounding systems in high frequency range is very different with the ground resistance. It is necessary to analyze the dangerous voltages formed by the ground currents containing high frequency components. In this paper, the ground surface potential rises near the vertical and horizontal grounding electrodes are measured at the frequency of 100[Hz], 30[kHz], and 100[kHz]. Dangerous voltages are investigated with the frequency-dependent grounding impedance. As a result, the ground surface potential rise is increased as the grounding impedance increases. Touch and step voltages near the grounding electrode whose impedance increases with the frequency are sharply raised.

A new developed impulse current test system(100kV, 250kJ)is presented, which can carry out all impulse current and performance tests on surge arrester sections with rated voltage up to 12kV according to IEC 60099-4(2001). The maximum achievable peak value is 200kA for the impulse current $4/10{\mu}s$ and 60kA for the $30/80{\mu}s$ and $8/20{\mu}s$. The long duration current impulse is realized from class 1 to class 5. The digital transient recorder(4 channels 60MS/S 10bit) is used for measuring AC voltage, impulse current, reference voltage and leakage current. The complex control, measuring, evaluation and data storage system is controlled by one industrial PC system.

This paper proposes a new sustaining driver for AC PDP(Plasma Display Panel), which improves the performance of conventional circuit with reduced sustain voltage such as TERES(TEchnology of REciprocal Sustainer). In the TERES circuit, the sustain voltage is the half of general sustaining driver and there is no energy recovery circuit. The circuit proposed in his paper has an energy recovery circuit and removes surge currents. Although the energy recovery circuit is added, the number of active switching elements is the same as the TERES circuit. The operations of the proposed circuit are analyzed for each mode and its validity is verified by the simulations using PSpice program.

80pF capacitive couplers were connected to six 6.6kV motor model coil terminals. The voltage applied to the coils were 3.81kv, 4.76 kV and 6.6kV, respectively. These stator coils have various types of artificial insulation defects such as large voids, semi-conductive coating damage and strand insulation fault. Digital PD detector(PDD) and turbine generator analyzer(TGA) were used to measure PD activity. TGA summarizes each plot with two quantities such as the normalized quantity number(NQN) and the peak PD magnitude(Qm). The PD levels in PD were measured with a conventional digital PD detector. Most of the defect mechanism of large motor stator winding can be associated with PD patterns such as internal and slot discharges. PD patterns coincide with PDD and TGA. These instruments have an input bandwidth of 40-400kHz and 0.1-350MHz. Surge testing detects faults in inter-turn winding of high voltage motor model coils.

This paper proposes a single power-conversion ac-dc converter with a dc-link capacitor-less and high power factor. The proposed converter is derived by integrating a full-bridge diode rectifier and a series-resonant active-clamp dc-dc converter. To obtain a high power factor without a power factor correction circuit, this paper proposes a suitable control algorithm for the proposed converter. The proposed converter provides single power-conversion by using the proposed control algorithm for both power factor correction and output control. Also, the active-clamp circuit clamps the surge voltage of switches and recycles the energy stored in the leakage inductance of the transformer. Moreover, it provides zero-voltage turn-on switching of the switches. Also, a series-resonant circuit of the output-voltage doubler removes the reverse-recovery problem of the output diodes. The proposed converter provides maximum power factor of 0.995 and maximum efficiency of 95.1% at the full-load. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and verified. Experimental results for a 400W ac-dc converter at a constant switching frequency of 50kHz are obtained to show the performance of the proposed converter.
