The purpose of development is to localize a connector for connection of cable and GIS for underground transmission system. The cable connector for GIS provides electrical insulation of GIS housing part and makes connection of ultra high voltage electrical apparatus and power cable by controlling electrical stress between electrodes of power cable termination. Generally Korean switchgear makers are using a connector for GIS made by foreign companies. We manufactured sample by best structure design of great capacity conductor connecting part and then modified the design by analysis of shape and section. We completed the suitable sample for current cycling test condition of conductor connecting part sample and ensured surge characteristics of line by short-time current test.

This paper presents a new fault location algorithm for 3 phase underground cable based on distributed parameter circuit analysis, by which we establish the basic equations for each of core and sheath currents and voltages considering cross-bonding sheaths. The proposed algorithm need simulate by EMTP, and then the EMTP data need be compared with the calculation result in Matlab.

The conventional CCPU(Cable Covering Protective Unit) modeling methods which are used by Type 99 and Type 92 in EMTP simulation are firstly discussed in this paper, and then some problems of them are also investigated. Modeling method using Type 99 causes unstable characteristic at initial transient of CCPU operation. Time delay has also effect on the output of CCPU modeling. So, in this paper, a new modeling method for CCPU is designed by DBM(Data Base Module) of EMTP. The characteristic of Type 92 is used for the new modeling method. The reliability of this one is proved by comparing simulation with measured data. Specially, at initial transient, the waveform of the new method shows more stable result than that of conventional method using Type 99. Also, the peak value is similar to measured data.

Since Korea was initiated a industrialization, many transmission lines have been installed to meet the increasing demand for the electric power. In large city, underground transmission lines were widely installed because of the environmental issue. But there have been appeared many failures on the lines, such as the external scar of cable, a fire in the culvert, overheating of cable, and so on. There have been many studies to monitor them and improve the reliability of the power supply. As a method monitoring the lines, a DTS(Distributed Temperature Sensor) system is developed and applied. This system monitors the lines and predicts the failures, using a optical fiber sensor. This paper describes this DTS system and its application for the underground transmission lines.

The forced cooling system has been widely applied to passing more electric current in the underground power transmission cable technology. In this paper, the optimum cooling span of the in-trough-indirect water cooling method within an electric tunnel was investigated. A parametric study was performed for the cable currents, the coolant flow rates, and the coolant inlet temperatures. As a result, the temperature of the inlet air has been found as the most important parameter in determination of the optimum cooling span.

This paper statistically analyzes the time required for each failure cause and describes a diagnostic method for 159 reports of failure analysis of MV cables that occurred in the distribution system of KEPCO over the past 18 years. In addition, the manufacturer's failure rate compared to 100C-km was calculated using 381 cases of MV cable deterioration failure between 2008 and 2020. It is hoped that this paper will help those in charge of maintaining underground facilities at the business office to use the failure rate to prioritize facility diagnosis.

Cable failure investigations must evaluate all facets of cable technology to reach a complete understanding of why and how an underground power cable failed. This paper presents the salient points of a recent investigation into an in-service failure after only several weeks of operation.

This paper analyses crossbonded cable system underneath a bridge. The simulation is performed under various system configuration such as cable length, iron frame size, lightning surge. The simulation models are established by EMTP/ATPDRraw. In this paper, the crossboneded cable system underneath a bridge is also analyzed for insulation coordination of iron frame and cables.

The first 150lkV underground transmission line of Korea was installed between Danginri and Yongsan substation in 1974. Since then, the underground transmission lines of about 720 circuit-km had been installed up to 1995. As the national economy has been enlarged and the population of city has been rapidly increased, the demand of an electric power has been very increased. Therefore the first 345kV long-length transmission line of Korea was installed between Mikyum and Sungdong substation on Jan., 1997. This paper describes the design of the 345kV oil-filled cable and its accessories, the design of the system, the methods of installation, field tests, and the future trends of the underground transmission line in Korea.

In this paper, we made an experiment on fault location of underground cables with travelling wave. The 5C2V coaxial cables of 100, 200m length, connected with discharge gap, are used for simplifying model cable lines of power cable. And 100KHz -2MHz CT and HV probe are installed at one side of the ends. We made travelling pulse in discharge gab and then pulse travelled along the cable to the both ends. Therefore, it is detected in CT and HV probe. Measuring the time difference of the pulse start and arrival, we were able to obtain the distance of pulse travelling. Consequently, our experimental results show the possibility to detect fault location of underground cables with travelling wave.
