An ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission system has the advantages of low circuitry loss, high bulk capacity and long-distance transmission capabilities over conventional transmission systems, but it is easier for this system to cross fault rupture zones and become damaged during earthquakes. This paper experimentally and numerically investigates the seismic responses and collapse failure of a UHV transmission tower-line system crossing a fault. A 1:25 reduced-scale model is constructed and tested by using shaking tables to evaluate the influence of the forward-directivity and fling-step effects on the responses of suspension-type towers. Furthermore, the collapse failure tests of the system under specific cross-fault scenarios are carried out. The corresponding finite element (FE) model is established in ABAQUS software and verified based on the Tian-Ma-Qu material model. The results reveal that the seismic responses of the transmission system under the cross-fault scenario are larger than those under the near-fault scenario, and the permanent ground displacements in the fling-step ground motions tend to magnify the seismic responses of the fault-crossing transmission system. The critical collapse peak ground acceleration (PGA), failure mode and weak position determined by the model experiment and numerical simulation are in relatively good agreement. The sequential failure of the members in Segments 4 and 5 leads to the collapse of the entire model, whereas other segments basically remain in the intact state.

After determining the type and string condition of conductor of 765kV transmission lines, we studied the mechanical strength system of insulator strings to support conductors and insulate conductors from towers. In this paper, for the insulator strings which will be used in 765kV transmission lines, we're going to optimally determine the mechanical strength system and supporting method in the consideration of the reliability, economics and the survey data of T/L routes, and also suggest the calculation method to stipulate for the application limits of suspension and strain insulator strings according to the loadspan and height difference of tower.

KEPCO is now promoting the new project of upgrading its highest system voltage from 345kV to 765kV. The main reason of this project is an insurance of bulk power transmission from power complexes at coast to power demand center at Kyoung-In area. The new system needs a careful approach to basic design to secure its reliability and to reduce the increase of investment cost. So, We introduced the basic philosophy of insulation design in spring meeting of this transaction. This paper, after preceding paper, deals with the insulation design example for 765kV transmission lines.

With the three dimensional magnetic field measuring system dealt with in this paper, accurate measurements and analyses of ELF magnetic fields in the vicinity of UHV overhead transmission lines and substations have been conducted. For the field measurements multiturn loop-type sensors have been developed with special consideration of taking lower frequency and spatial components without any distortion. So the measuring system has the frequency bandwidth of 8[Hz] to about 53[kHz] and the response sensitivity of $9.88[mV/{\mu}T]$ in average. A brief description of design rules of the measuring system and measurement procedures is given. The actual surrey near 154 and 345[kV] overhead transmission lines and power subststions was carried out and analyzed. It may be inferred from these results that the maximum magnetic field intensities under typical UHV overhead transmission lines do not exceed $20[{\mu}T]$ so that the field measurements satisfy sufficiently all limits or guidelines that various authorized international institutes recommend.

Transmission tower-line systems have come to represent one of the most important infrastructures in today's society. Recent strong earthquakes revealed that transmission tower-line systems are vulnerable to earthquake excitations, and that ground motions may arrive at such structures from any direction during an earthquake event. Considering these premises, this paper presents experimental and numerical studies on the dynamic responses of a 1000 kV ultrahigh-voltage (UHV) transmission tower-line system under different seismic incidence angles. Specifically, a 1:25 reduced-scale experimental prototype model is designed and manufactured, and a series of shaking table tests are carried out. The influence of the seismic incidence angle on the dynamic structural response is discussed based on the experimental data. Additionally, the incidence angles corresponding to the maximum peak displacement of the top of the tower relative to the ground (referred to herein as the critical seismic incidence angles) are summarized. The experimental results demonstrate that seismic incidence angle has a significant influence on the dynamic responses of transmission tower-line systems. Subsequently, an approximation method is employed to orient the critical seismic incidence angle, and a corresponding finite element (FE) analysis is carried out. The angles obtained from the approximation method are compared with those acquired from the numerical simulation and shaking table tests, and good agreement is observed. The results demonstrate that the approximation method can properly predict the critical seismic incidence angles of transmission tower-line systems. This research enriches the available experimental data and provides a simple and convenient method to assess the seismic performance of UHV transmission systems.

This paper deals with the implementation of forced reclosing the transmission line. Because the ground circuit breaker method decrease the secondary arc current sufficiently, the reclosing time can be reduced. As the secondary arc current is large and its residual time is long in UHV transmission line, this method is more effective in that system. The resistance of ground circuit breaker which minimize the secondary arc current is determined according to the system voltage and the length of transmission line.

The unbalance current on the bundled conductors of the UHV overhead transmission line is one of the factors affected on power transmission system. It is varied by distance between of bundled conductors and of phase to phase, phase arrangement. In this paper, we calculated unbalance current on the bundled conductors by a variety of line arrangements and also calculated magnetic field at the circumference of the line fed with this unbalance current.

In this paper, measurements and analyses of ELF electric fields in the vicinity of UHV overhead transmission lines and substations have been conducted. Planar-type sensors have been developed with special consideration of picking up lower frequency and spatial components without any distortion. So finally the electric field measuring system has the frequency bandwidth of 7[Hz] to 2.7[MHz] and the response sensitivity of 0.094[mV/V/m]. A brief description of design rules of the measuring system and measurement procedures is introduced. The actual survey near 154 and 345[kV] overhead transmission lines and power subststions was carried out and analyzed. It may be inferred from these results that the electric field intensity exeeds 7[kV/m] only in very few cases particularly at the substations so that the field measurements meet almost limits or guidelines that various authorized international institutes recommend.

The monolayer of oxygen atoms sandwiched between the adjacent nanocrystalline silicon layers was formed by ultra high vacuum-chemical vapor deposition (UHV-CVD). This multilayer Si-O structure forms a new type of superlattice, semiconductor-atomic superlattice (SAS). According to the experimental results, high-resolution cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) shows epitaxial system. Also, the current-voltage (Ⅰ-Ⅴ) measurement results show the stable and good insulating behavior with high breakdown voltage. It is apparent that the system may form an epitaxially grown insulating layer as possible replacement of silicon-on-insulator (SOI), a scheme investigated as future generation of high efficient and high density CMOS on SOI.
