In this paper, we studied on the fire dispersive patterns and the fire progress at the power cord sets for low voltage appliances in the wall-model. For the experiment, we manufactured a wall-model and applied the external flame at the power cord sets. From the results, short-circuit of the power cord sets was haunted by the external flame it was disconnected with the flashing and the scattering. The fire progress on the polyvinyl chloride insulated flexibel cords is not observed because the ignition energy decreases. In case of rubber insulated flexible cords, however, the fire was progressed continuously. Molten marks were formed at a two electric wire by continuous electric discharge in power source part. A large molten mark was formed in load part. And the columnar structure and voids were observed in molten wire.

A modified driving waveform is proposed to improve the address discharge characteristics using wall charge on the common electrodes in plasma display panel. In the driving scheme of plasma display, after a reset period, the negative charge are accumulated on two front electrodes and positive wall charge are accumulated on the address electrode. As the address discharge during an address period is produced when the scan and address pulses are applied at the same time, negative charge on the scan electrodes and positive charge on the address electrodes are mainly used. On the other hand, as the voltage are only maintained without applying the waveform during an address period on the common electrodes, the wall charge is not used on the common electrodes. In this paper, the address discharge characteristics are investigated with changing pulse applying time and applied voltage amplitude on the common electrodes and consequently the producing time of an address discharge are shortened about 200 ns compared with the conventional driving waveform.

The effects of addition of $D_2$ to conventional gases on the discharge characteristics were investigated in this work with the aim of improving the voltage margin, the wall charge and the jitter. The addition of an extremely small gas-inlet amounts of $D_2$ increased the number of electrons which improves the $Xe^{\ast}$ density and $Xe_2^{\ast}$ density. As a result, the voltage margin, the jitter and the wall charge increased.

The addition of an extremely small gas-inlet amounts of $D_2$ increased the number of electrons which improves. the $Xe^*$ density and $Xe_2^*$ density. As a result, the voltage margin, the jitter and the wall charge increased.

To clarify the relations of optical properties to the main factors responsible for the loss and damage of luminous efficacy, a 20 min turn-on/turn-off test for 2,000 h for a ceramic metal halide lamp is conducted. The corrosion rates of the arc tube wall and electrode are estimated based on thermal stress. Wall blackening is attributed to the tungsten being transported from the hot electrode tips to the relatively cold arc tube wall. Furthermore, the grain boundaries of the arc tube are changed by the degradation. Distortion of the electrode is observed, and the ignition and the driving voltage of the load both increase. Finally, the color rendering index and the color coordinates are changed after the degradation. The luminous flux and the intensity of the luminous distribution are decreased significantly.

It is known that the address discharge delay time during an address period strongly depends on the wall charge leakage. It was observed that the wall charge leakage during an address period is related to both the address width and the ambient temperature. Accordingly, the effects of address electrode width on the address discharge and wall voltage variation during an address period were examined under variable temperatures.

The address discharge characteristics by the various scan-low and common-bias voltages are investigated based on measured address discharge time lags and $V_t$ close-curve analysis. The scan-low voltages are changed under the same voltage difference between the X and Y electrodes during an address period. As the voltage difference between the scan and address electrodes is increased during an address period, the address discharge time lag is shortened but the background luminance is increased. It is found that the improved address discharge characteristics is caused by the effect of the higher external applied voltage during an address period than the accumulated wall charges during a reset period and the high background luminance can be prevented by applying an address-bias voltage during a rising-ramp period and low reset voltage.

The discharge characteristics of Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge (SDBD) reactor are investigated to find optimal driving condition with adjusting various parameter. When the high voltage with sine wave form is applied to SDBD source, successive pulsed current waveforms are observed owing to multiple ignitions through the long discharge channel and wall charge accumulation on the dielectric surface. The discharge voltage, total charge between dielectrics, mean energy and power are calculated from measured current and voltage according to electrode gap and dielectric thickness. Discharge mode transition from filamentary to diffusive glow is observed for narrow gap and high applied voltage case. However, when the diffusive discharge is occurred with high applied voltage, the actual firing voltage is always lower than that with low driving voltage. The $Si_3N_4$, $MgF_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ are considered for dielectric protection and high secondary electron emission coefficient. SDBD with $MgF_2$ shows the lowest breakdown voltage. $MgF_2$ thin film is proposed as a protection layer for low voltage atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge devices.

Air arc interruption used in low rated voltage breaker, ACB and MCCB, have used the arc chamber composed of metal plates and insulating laminates which supposed these mechanically. and geometry and materials of arc chamber are very different by breaker manufacturer. These breakers have required to be smaller and to interrupt higher current by user. therefore the arc chamber geometry and material in breaker have been small, complex and various. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of insulating laminates and contact materials on air arc interruption. Contacts were surrounded by a rectangle chamber of insulating laminates. Contact concoctions were composed of AgW, AgCdO that have used in low rated voltage breaker, and insulating laminates were polyester, epoxy. We found strong dependance of arc voltage on insulating material. The ablated vapor on polyester increased arc voltage that was useful in air arc interruption.

The trench termination scheme is introduced for high voltage devices. The curvature of the depletion region at field limiting ring is critical factor to determine the breakdown voltage. The smooth curvature of the depletion junction alleviate the electric field crowding effect around this region. In the trench field limiting ring, the radius of the depletion region is smaller than conventional field limiting ring, but the distance between every trench is spaced small enough to punchthrough before initiation of local breakdown. The trench field limiting ring on silicon can ne formed by RIE followed by oxidation on side wall surface of the trench, and polysilicon filling. The combined termination of this trench floating field ring and field plate have been designed and analyzed. The breakdown simulation by 2-dimensional TCAD shows that the cylindrical junction breakdown voltage for substrate doping might be 99 percent of the ideal breakdwon voltage for substrate doping concentration of $3\times10^{14}cm^{-3}$ with about $100{\mu}m$ of lateral termination width.
