In order to minimize ac mutual coupling, the auxiliary electrode are located at a right angle in measuring ground impedance. In case that the measurement space is limited, the alternative method is employed. At that time, it is necessary to investigate the measurement errors due to ac mutual coupling and earth mutual resistance in measuring the ground impedances. 'This paper presents the measurement accuracy according to the location of the current and potential auxiliary electrodes in measuring ground impedance of vertically or horizontally buried ground electrode. The measurement errors due to ac mutual coupling were evaluated Consequently, the effect of ac mutual coupling on the measurement accuracy for horizontally buried ground electrode is greater than that for vertically buried ground electrode. Measurement errors due to ac mutual coupling is the largest when the current and potential auxiliary electrodes are located in parallel. The 61.8[%] rule is inappropriate in measuring ground measurement. Theoretically, in case that the angle between the current and potential auxiliary electrodes is 90$[^{\circ}]$, there is no ac mutual coupling. If it is not possible to route the current and potential auxiliary electrodes at a right angle with limitation of measurement space, the location of these electrodes with an obtuse angle is preferred to that with an acute angle in reducing the measurement errors due to ac mutual coupling.

일반적으로 배전반과 변압기와 같은 고전압 전력기기를 운전하는 경우에는 외부 환경에 의한 열화특성뿐만 아니라 전력기기 내부의 구조적 특성에 의한 절연적 특성 변화가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 고신뢰성의 고전압 전력기기를 설계하기 위해서는 이와 같은 점을 고려한 내부 설계가 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 접지부에 여러 가지 형상을 가지는 볼트와 같은 구조물을 위치시키고 그에 따른 절연파괴전압의 변화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 동일한 전극 간격에 대한 AC 전압의 특성변화를 실험을 통하여 측정하고 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 절연파괴전압은 접지측에 위치한 볼트의 형상에 따라 크게 변화한다는 사실을 알 수 있었으며, 이와 같은 결과는 고전압 전력기기를 설계 및 제작하는데 큰 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

I-V characteristics of ground electrode fabricated using an aluminium scrap are presented. We fabricated several shapes of aluminium scraps and aluminium electrodes. The results show that the current of aluminium electrode increased linearly by the voltage increase. AC breakdown voltage of copper plate electrode was higher than that of aluminium electrode. AC breakdown current of aluminium electrode was higher than that of copper plate electrode. As applied voltage increased, grounding resistance of aluminum electrode decreased linearly.

In this paper, comparisons are presented on the predicted tensile strains which can affect the fatigue life of a thin asphalt concrete (AC) pavement near the surface of pavement from three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) using 3D measured tire contact stresses of a radial tire and a bias ply tire and a layered linear elastic program (BISAR). The objective was to analyze the stress distributions for a 11R22.5 radial tire and a $10{\times}20$ bias ply tire, and to compare the predicted tensile strains at the top and bottom of AC surface using different analysis methods. The results show that the stress distributions of two tires are similar but the 11R22.5 radial tire has much higher vertical contact stress than that of the $10{\times}20$ bias ply tire. The predicted tensile strains at the bottom of AC layer under the center of tire showed higher value by BM (BISAR with the measured contact area) method, which the measured tire contact area is used in a layered elastic program, while the tensile strain at the top of AC surface of 3.5cm offset distance from tire edge by 3D FE analysis showed the highest values among three analysis methods.

This paper proposes the effective method to improve the protection from induced lightning surge by making common grounding from individual grounding. Common grounding under equipotential principle is more effective than individual grounding for lightning surge protection, and so common grounding is indicated as international technical standard under the AC power supply system with neutral line. So, this paper is to propose the effective way of induced lightning surge protection method for currently installed power supply system which has no neutral grounded line and individual grounding which are weak for lightning surge protection. This proposal can improve the power supply system as has neutral line, and improve the grounding system to common grounding system. And also this paper proposes to make effective equipotential system with voltage variable shunting devices for lightning surge protection.

Recently, the common grounding systems are adapted in most large structures. Since the ground resistance is insufficient to evaluate the performance of grounding systems, it is needed to measure grounding impedance. Even though the methods of measuring grounding impedance of large grounding systems are presented in IEEE standard 81.2, but they have not been described in detail. In this paper, we present the accurate method of measuring grounding impedance based on the revised fall-of-potential method and measurement errors due to earth mutual resistance and ac mutual coupling depending on locating test electrodes at remote earth were examined for the 15[m]$\times$15[m] grounding grid. As a result, the measurement error due to earth mutual resistance is decreased when the distance to auxiliary electrodes increased. To get rid of measurement errors due to mutual coupling, the potential lead should be installed at a right angle to the current lead. When the angle between the potential and the current leads is an acute angle or an obtuse angle, the mutual couple voltage is positive or negative, respectively. Generally, the measurement errors due to mutual coupling with an obtuse angle route are lower than those with an acute angle route.

This paper deals with a comparison of individual and connecting grounding electrode for potential rise. When a test current flowed through grounding electrode, potential rise was measured and analyzed for grounding method using a electrolytic tank in real time. In order to analyze the potential rise of grounding systems, a hemispherical water tank experimental apparatus was studied. Potential rise was measured and analyzed regarding the grounding method and distance by using this apparatus. The apparatus was composed of a hemispherical water tank, AC power supply, a movable potentiometer, and test grounding electrodes. The potential rise was measured by the horizontal moving probe of the potentiometer. The grounding electrodes were designed and fabricated with ground rods on a scale of one-eightieth. Potential rises of individual grounding electrode were higher than those of connecting grounding electrode. The distributions of surface potential are dependent on the distance from grounding electrode.

This paper proposes enhanced single-phase pulse width modulation buck, boost, and buck-boost type ac-ac converters. The proposed converters, where input and output voltages share a common ground, require no isolated voltage sensor and have no leakage current problem. The commutation problem is solved with series-connected switching cell structures without using an additional RC snubber. In addition, with the use of the polarity of input voltage, switching patterns are determined so that the inductor currents can flow through switching devices during all operational modes. Two switches are always turned on during a half-period of the input voltage; thus, the switching loss is significantly reduced. Detailed analysis and experimental results are provided to verify the performance of the proposed converter.
