The manufacturing process of the amorphous transformer core consists of winding, cutting, forming, annealing. Clamping of cores during this process are required for shape forming. Clamping of cores enhances the space factor, but degrades the magnetic properties and core loss characteristics of the cores. In this study, we investigated the optimal clamping pressure required in magnetic field annealing of 5 kVA amorphous transformer core.

The mold transformers have been widely used in underground substations in large building and have some advantages in comparison to oil-transformer, that is low fire risk, excellent environmental compatibility, compact size and high reliability. In addition, the application of mold transformer for outdoor is possible due to development of epoxy resin. The mold transformer generally has cooling duct between low voltage coil and high voltage coil. A mold transformer made by one body molding method has been developed for small size and low loss. In this paper, the proto type mold transformer of 50kVA class is investigated by routine, type, special test. The outdoor energized aging test is investigated by back-to-back method to verify the long time performance of pole mold transformer. The aging process of transformer is analyzed by various diagnosis method such as DC voltage-current test, $tan{\delta}$, Meggar measurement, winding temperature and etc.

According to the recent design of an HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) power transformer whose capacity is hundreds MVA, the rated current values of the low voltage side are generally over thousands amps. Considering the performance of the recent HTS wires, it is inevitable to use several HTS wires in parallel for large rated current. Lots of stacked HTS wires were fabricated and tested so far, and the results have showed that we have to transpose each wire in order to reduce the AC losses as well as to increase the current capacity. But many development programs about HTS transformers reveal that the transposition of the several wires during the winding process is quite difficult not only in case of the layer windings but also in case of the pancake type ones. So, we need transposed multiple HTS wire which we can handle like single wire or cable for the HTS windings of large capacity power transformer. We fabricated several kinds of samples of multiple HTS wire with transposition to apply it to the HTS windings of power transformer. The electrical characteristics such as critical currents or AC losses are analyzed by experiments in case by case. Finally we present the best design of a multiple HTS wire for power transformer.

In pulsed-power techniques. Marx generator is generally used for the high-power device. but this generator has insulation and spatial problems. So we will suggest a pulse transformer that has a small size to generate the high voltage pulse instead of Marx generator. In this paper, Pulse duration is 4 [${\mu}s$] and the ratio of input and output voltage is 40[kV]/200[kV](step-up ratio=5). The output voltage and the process of pulse compression for pulse circuit are simulated by EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transient Program). The secondary voltage of pulse transformer is about 200[kV] and pulse width is 4[t/s]. When the secondary winding of the pulse transformer is saturated. the pulse width is 1.25[${\mu}s$]. We selected dummy load 50[$\Omega$] for impedance matching. The pulse voltage of dummy load is 100[kV] and pulse width is 500[ns].

In this article, the fundamental concept, characteristics and application potentials of coreless printed-circuit-board (PCB) transformers are described. Coreless PCB transformers do not have the limitations associated with magnetic cores, such as the frequency limitation, magnetic saturation and core losses. In addition, they eliminate the manual winding process and its associated problems, including labor cost, reliability problems and difficulties in ensuring transformer quality in the manufacturing process. The parameters of the printed windings can be precisely controlled in modern PCB technology. Because of the drastic reduction in the vertical dimension, coreless PCB transformers can achieve high power density and are suitable for applications in which stringent height requirements for the circuits have to be met. A transformer's power density of $24W/cm^2$ has been reported in a power conversion application. When used in an isolation amplifier application, coreless PCB transformers tested so far enable the amplifier to achieve a remarkable linear frequency range of 1MHz, which is almost eight times higher than the frequency range of 120kHz in existing Integrated-Circuit products. PCB materials offer extremely high isolation voltage, typically from 15kV to 40kV, which is higher than many other isolation means such as optocouplers. It is envisaged that coreless PCB transformers can replace traditional core-based transformers in some industrial applications. Their application potentials deserve more attention and exploration.

Cast-resin transformers are widely installed in various electrical power systems because of their low operating cost and low influence on external environmental factors. However, when they have an internal defect during the manufacturing process or operation, a partial discharge (PD) occurs, and eventually destroys the insulation. In this paper, a Rogowski-type PD sensor was studied to replace commercial PD sensors used for the insulation diagnosis of power apparatus. The proposed PD sensor was manufactured with four different types of PCB-based winding structures, and it was analyzed in terms of the detection characteristics for standard calibration pulses and the changes of the output voltage according to the distance. The output increased linearly in accordance with the applied discharge amount. It was confirmed that the hexagon structure sensor had the highest sensitivity, because the winding cross-sectional area of the sensor was larger than others. In addition, as the distance from the defect increased, the output voltage of the sensors decreased by 7.32% on average. It was also confirmed that the attenuation rate according to the distance decreased as the input discharge amount increased. For the application of this new type sensor, PD electrode system was designed to simulate the void defect. Waveforms and PRPD patterns measured by the proposed PD sensors at DIV and 120% of DIV were the same as the results measured by MPD 600 based on IEC 60270. The proposed PD sensors can be installed on the inner wall of the transformer tank by coating its surfaces with a non-conductive material; therefore, it is possible to detect internal defects more effectively at a closer distance from the defect than the conventional sensors.

Aiming at analyzing the power flow of the distribution systems with distribution transformer (DT) branches and PV nodes, a hybrid three-phase power flow methodology is presented in this paper. The incidence formulas among node voltages, loop currents and node current injections have been developed based on node-branch incidence matrix of the distribution network. The method can solve the power flow directly and has higher efficiency. Moreover, the paper provides a modified method to model DT branches by considering winding connections, phase shifting and off-nominal tap ratio, and then DT branches could be seen like one transmission line with the proposed power flow method. To deal with the PV nodes, an improved approach to calculate reactive power increment at each PV node was deduced based on the assumption that the positive-sequence voltage magnitude of PV node is fixed at a given value. Then during calculating the power flow at each iteration, it only needs to update current injection at each PV node with the proposed algorithm. The process is very simple and clear. The results of IEEE 4 nodes and the modified IEEE 34 nodes test feeders verified the correctness and efficiency of the proposed hybrid power flow algorithm.

본 연구에서는 2.4-GHz CMOS 전력 증폭기의 저 출력 전력 영역에서의 전력 변환 효율을 개선시키기 위한 이중모드 증폭기 구조를 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 출력 정합 회로 및 발룬의 역할을 하는 출력부 변압기의 1차 측을 두 개로 나누고, 그 중 하나는 전력 증폭단의 출력부와, 나머지 하나는 구동 증폭단의 출력부와 연결 되도록 구성하였다. 이를 통하여, 전력 증폭기가 고 출력 전력 영역에서 동작 할 경우, 일반적인 전력 증폭기 동작과 동일하게 동작 하며, 반대로 전력 증폭기가 저출력 전력 영역에서 동작 할 경우, 전력 증폭단은 작동을 하지 않으며, 구동 증폭단의 출력이 전력 증폭기의 최종 출력부로 전달 되도록 구성하였다. 이 경우, 저출력 전력 영역에서는 전력 증폭단에서의 dc 전력소모가 원천적으로 차단되기 때문에 저출력 전력 영역에서의 전력 변환 효율을 개선시킬 수 있다. 제안하는 구조는 180-nm RFCMOS 공정을 통해 설계된 2.4-GHz 전력 증폭기의 측정을 통하여 그 효용성을 검증하였다.

공기청정기에 사용되는 이오나이저 모듈은 권선형 transformer를 사용하여 방전전극인 HV+/HV-에 3.5KV/-4KV의 고전압을 공급하여 carbon fiber brush의 전계 방사에 의해 양이온과 음이온을 발생시킨다. 기존의 MCU를 이용한 이오나이저 모듈 회로는 PCB 사이즈가 크고 가격이 비싼 단점이 있고, 기존의 ring oscillator를 이용한 게이트 구동 칩은 oscillation 주기가 PVT(Process-Voltage-Temperature) 변동에 민감하고 HV+와 GND, HV-와 GND의 단락에 의한 fault detection 기능이 없으므로 화재나 감전의 위험이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 7bit binary UP counter를 이용하여 PVT 변동이 있더라도 oscillation 주기를 조절하여 HV+ 전압이 목표 전압에 도달하게 한다. 그리고 HV+와 GND 사이의 단락을 검출하기 위한 HV+ short fault detection 회로, HV-와 GND 사이의 단락을 검출하기 위한 HV- short fault detection 회로와 HV+가 과전압 이상으로 올라가는 것을 검출하기 위한 OVP(Over-Voltage Protection) 회로를 새롭게 제안하였다.
