이 논문에는 교류전압에서 ZnO 피뢰기 소자의 열적 전기적 특성을 기술하였다. ZnO 피뢰기 소자의 누설전류는 시간의 변화에 따라 측정하였다. ZnO 피뢰기 소자의 온도분포를 열화상카메라에 의해 관측하였다. ZnO 피뢰기 소자의 열화 및 열폭주 현상은 열발생과 열방산을 결정짓는 ZnO 피뢰기 소자의 온도한계와 밀접한 관계가 있다. ZnO 피뢰기 소자의 저항은 ZnO 피뢰기 소자의 온도와 누설전류에 의해 민감하게 변화한다. 결론적으로 ZnO 피뢰기 소자의 열화 및 열폭주 현상은 ZnO 피뢰기 소자의 온도와 소자를 통해 흐르는 누설전류에 상당히 의존적인 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents the thermal and electrical characteristics of ZnO arrester blocks under the AC voltages. The leakage currents of ZnO arrester blocks were measured as a function of time. The temperature distributions of ZnO arrester blocks were observed by the forward looking infrared camera The degradation and thermal runaway of ZnO arrester blocks were closely related with the temperature limit of ZnO arrester blocks which decided heat generation and dissipation As a result, the degradation and thermal runaway of ZnO arrester blocks depend on the temperature and leakage current of ZnO arrester blocks.

This paper deals with the effect of lightning impulse current on electrical characteristics of ZnO blocks used in distribution lightning arrester. The electrical characteristics of ZnO blocks are degraded by overtime impulse current, and the degraded ZnO block is brought to a thermal runaway and finally destroyed. It is therefore important to estimate the change of electrical characteristics of ZnO blocks. In this study, an impulse current generator which can produce 8/20$[\mus]$, 3[㎄] and 4/10$[\mus]$, 5[㎄] waveform is designed and fabricated to simulate the lightning impulse current of power systems. Total energy applied to the ZnO blocks at each time is 739[J] in 8/20$[\mus]$, and 523[J] in 4/10$[\mus]$, impulse current, respectively. From the experimental results, the 3rd harmonic of the leakage current increases continuously with the number of applied impulse current, but no significant changes in residual voltage and in reference voltage are observed until the ZnO block is destroyed. Also, it is confirmed that the main factor on degradation of ZnO blocks is rather the total energy applied to ZnO blocks than the peak value of the impulse current.

In order to analyze the electrical performance of ZnO surge arresters stressed by the combined DC and AC voltages that are generated in DC/AC converter systems, the leakage current properties of ZnO surge arrester blocks deteriorated by impulse currents were investigated. The test specimens were deteriorated by the 8/$20{\mu}s$ impulse current of 2.5kA and the leakage currents flowing into the deteriorated zinc oxide(ZnO) arrester blocks subjected to the combined DC and power frequency AC voltages are measured. As a result, the leakage currents flowing through deteriorated ZnO surge arrester blocks were higher than those flowing through the fine ZnO surge arrester blocks and the larger the injection number of 8/$20{\mu}s$ impulse current of 2.5kA is, the greater the leakage current is. The leakage current-voltage curves(I-V curves) of the fine and deteriorated ZnO surge arrester blocks stressed by the combined DC and AC voltages show significant difference in the low conduction region. Also the cross-over phenomenon is observed at the voltage close to the knee of conduction on plots of I-V curves.

This paper describes the effect of impulse current on degradation of ZnO blocks. In this study, an impulse current generator which can produce 8/20 [${\mu}s$], 3 [kA] and 4/10 [${\mu}s$], 5 [kA] waveform is designed and fabricated to simulate the lightning impulse current. The residual voltage, reference voltage, and leakage current flowing to the ZnO blocks are observed. The experimental results show that the leakage current increases continuously with the number of applied impulse current, but no significant changes in residual voltage and in operating voltage are observed until the ZnO block is destroyed. Also, it is confirmed that the main factor on degradation of ZnO blocks is rather the total energy applied to ZnO blocks than the peak value of the impulse current.

This paper presents electrical properties of Zinc Oxide(ZnO) surge arrester blocks under the power frequency AC voltages and various temperatures. The leakage current, $I_{R}-V$ curios and power dissipation for the fine and aged ZnO surge arrester blocks were measured as a function of the temperatures and applied voltages. When the temperature is increased from $50\;[^{\circ}C]$ to $150\;[^{\circ}C]$, the total leakage current significantly increased at the sane applied voltage level. Also, the resistive leakage currents and power dissipation were increased with increasing temperature. The leakage current and power dissipation of the aged ZnO arrester blocks were higher than the fine ZnO arrester blocks.

This paper describes the comparison results on electrical characteristic changes of ZnO blocks by lightning impulse current. The five types of ZnO blocks used in lightning arrester for distribution lines have been estimated repeatedly till about 400 times by a standard lightning impulse current of 3kA, $8/20{\mu}s$, and changes of the performance characteristics of them to operation times were examined and compared quantitatively every fifty times discharge. It is expected that the result will be useful to diagnose the soundness of ZnO blocks or lightning arresters, and to develope deterioration diagnosis device for them.

본 논문에서는 산화아연(이하 ZnO) 피뢰기 열화진행의 한 요인으로 예측되는 전극과 ZnO소자 사이에서 발생하는 방전광 현상에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 $8/20[{\mu}s]$, 최대 10[kA]의 뇌임펄스전류를 발생시키는 뇌임펄스전류 발생장치를 설계${\cdot} $제작하였다. 실험결과, 상${\cdot}$하부의 전극 부근에서 발생하는 방전광의 형상은 인가되는 뇌임펄스의 극성에 따라 다르게 나타났으며 상대적으로 (-)극의 전극부근에서 방전광이 더 강하고 활발하게 발생하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 전극의 면적에 따른 방전광의 세기는 전극의 면적이 증가할수록 감소하는 것으로 관측되었다. 동시에 전극과 소자의 접촉상태도 방전광의 발생과 매우 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 배전급 ZnO피뢰기의 기존 전극구조는 보완이 필요하며 ZnO피뢰기 제품의 성능향상 및 지속적인 성능유지를 위해서는 환형구조 대신 내부면적이 있는 원판구조로 교체하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.
