This paper describes the characteristic of tracking progress happened at the end of the polyvinyl chloride insulated cabtyre oval cord(VCTFK) that is widely used for distribution cord. Tracking is occurred owing to the drop of electrolyte at the end of the VCTFK. The tracking progress and its characteristic happened at the end of the VCTFK are as follow; Carbonization and electrical erosion are happened at the end of the VCTFK. Electrical erosion is begun at the insulation layer near conductors. After that, it is also happened at the sheath layer. Accumulation of carbonized insulation and sheath materials at the end of the VCTFK is begun after progress of electrical erosion. When the accumulation is progressed arc discharge is appeared and finally it goes to tracking breakdown.

The fact that soil loss causing to increase muddy water and devastate an ecosystem has been appearing upon a hot social and environmental issues which should be solved. Soil losses are occurring in most agricultural areas with rainfall-induced runoff. It makes hydraulic structure unstable, causing environmental and economical problems because muddy water destroys ecosystem and causes intake water deterioration. One of three severe muddy water source areas in Soyanggang-dam watershed is Jawoon-ri region, located in Hongcheon county. In this area, many cash-crops are planted at illegally cultivated agricultural fields, which were virgin forest areas. The purpose of this study is to estimate soil loss with current land uses(including illegal cash-crop cultivation) and soil loss reduction with land use conversion from illegal cultivation back to forest. In this study, the Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control(SATEEC) ArcView GIS was utilized to assess soil erosion. If the illegally cultivated agricultural areas are converted back to forest, it would be expected to 17.42% reduction in soil loss. At the Jawoon-ri region, illegally cultivated agricultural areas located at over 30% and 15% slopes take 47.48 ha(30.83%) and 103.64 ha(67.29%) of illegally cultivated agricultural fields respectively. If all illegally cultivated agricultural fields are converted back to forest, it would be expected that 17.41% of soil erosion and sediment reduction, 10.86% reduction with forest conversion from 30% sloping illegally agricultural fields, and 16.15% reduction with forest conversion from 15% sloping illegally agricultural fields. Therefore, illegally cultivated agricultural fields located at these sloping areas need to be first converted back to forest to maximize reductions in soil loss reduction and muddy water outflow from the Jawoon-ri regions.

In this study, area-weighted slope and slope length module, considering measured field slope and slope length of the agricultural fields within the subwatershed, was developed using the ArcView Avenue programming to reflect the field topography of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) HRU in simulating the hydrology and water quality. Flow and sediment yield estimated values of the SWAT were compared with and without applying area-weighted slope and slope length module, developed in this study. There was 103% increases in estimated sediment with area-weighted slope and slope length module for the study watershed. The soil erosion and sediment yield from only agricultural field in Hae-an watershed was also assessed. There are 111% increase in estimated soil erosion and 112% increase in estimated sediment by applying area-weighted slope and slope length module. This study shows that the area-weighted slope and slope length module needs to be utilized in estimating the HRU field slope and slope length for accurate estimation of soil erosion and nonponit source pollutant modeling with the SWAT although it is not feasible to measure topographic information for every agricultural fields within the watershed. The area-weighted slope and slope length module can be used in identifying soil erosion hot spot areas for developing cost effective and efficient soil erosion management practices.

기상변화와 지구온난화로 인해 국지성 호우의 강도와 빈도가 늘어나고 있으며 이로 인해 소양강, 도암댐, 임하댐 유역의 탁수 문제 등, 토양 유실에 관한 문제가 심각해지고 있다. 정확한 토양 유실 모의를 위하여 지난 수 십 년간 Universal Soil Loss Equation(USLE) 등의 모형이 사용되었지만 이러한 모형들에 관한 연구 중 강한 집중 호우에 의해 발생하는 걸리 침식(Gully Erosion)을 적용한 경우는 많지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 걸리 침식을 고려한 토양 유실량 및 유사량 산정을 위하여 입력자료가 간단하고 ArcView GIS를 기반으로 융합이 가능한 Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) system, nLS, Unit Stream Power-based Erosion/Deposition (USPED) 연계 모형을 개발하여 강원도 양구군 해안면 유역에 적용하였다. 기존 SATEEC system에서는 강우 시 유역에서 발생하는 면상 침식(Sheet Erosion), 세류 침식(Rill Erosion)의 모의만이 가능하였지만, 본 연구에서 개발한 연계모형에서는 nLS 모형을 이용한 걸리 헤드 발생 지역 선정과 USPED 모형을 이용한 걸리 발생 지역에서의 토양 유실량 산정이 가능하기 때문에, 걸리 침식을 고려한 토양 유실량 산정이 가능하다. 연계 모형의 모의 결과 해안면 유역의 최종 유출구에서 발생하는 평균 유사량은 101,933 ton/year 로 산정 되었다. 토양 유실량과 유사량을 모의함에 있어, 면상, 세류, 걸리 침식을 종합적으로 고려해야 실제 지형에서 발생하는 토양 유실량 및 유사량을 좀 더 정확하게 예측할 수 있을 것이며, 본 연구에서 개발된 연계 모형을 이용한다면 실제 유역에서 발생하는 여러 형태의 토양 유실을 모의 할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

Successful sediment management at the watershed scale requires an understanding of the erosion, transport and sedimentation processes at the specific site scale. However, studies on the sediment runoff characteristics in a small uppermost watershed, which serves as a sediment supply function, are very rare. Therefore, this study attempted to investigate the fluctuations in major sediment supply areas and sediment runoff in the uppermost mountain small watershed, and for this purpose, ArcSWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tools with GIS interface) was applied to the Woldong reservoir catchment located in Gosam-myeon, Anseong-si, Gyeonggi-do. The model results were manually calibrated using the monitoring data of the Woldong reservoir sedimentation rate from 2005 to 2007. It was estimated that annual average of 34.4 tons/year of sediment was discharged from the Woldong reservoir basin. This estimate almost coincided with the monitoring data of the Woldong reservoir during the low flow period but tended to be somewhat underestimated during the high flow period. Although the SWAT model does not fully reflect the erosion process of gully and in-channel, this underestimation is probably due to the spatial connectivity of sediment transport and the storage and reactivation of the sediment being transported. Most of the forested hillslopes with a well-developed organic horizon were evaluated as having a low risk of erosion, while the places with the highest risk of erosion were predicted to be distributed in the logged area with some weeds or shrubs (classified as pasture) with relatively steeper slopes, and in the bare land. The results of this study are expected to be useful in developing strategies for sediment control and reservoir management.

The paper reports on a study of the influence of the silicone oils on the tracking and erosion resistance and hydrophobicity of SIR. Two silicone oils(A, B) having different chemical structure were selected in consideration of goof hydrophobicity and processability. Tracking and erosion resistance of SIR was investigated by the rotating wheel dip test (RWDT). In this test tracking and erosion areas due to glow and partial arc discharges cause an increase in the leakage current with an increase in time. Leakage current of SIR was decreased with increasing ratio of oil A/B. SIR was exposed to corona discharges in air and the specimens were analyzed with contact angle. It was observed that the contact angle of SIR was increased gradually in time. The recovery of hydrophobicity was increased with increasing ratio of oil A/B.

The universal soil loss equation (USLE), a model for estimating the potential soil loss, has been used not only in research areas but also in establishing national policies in South Korea. Despite its wide applicability, USLE cannot adequately address the effect of seasonal variances. To overcome this limit, the ArcGIS-based Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion (ArcSATEEC) has been developed as an alternative model. Although the field-scale (< 100 ㎡) application of this model produced reliable estimation results, it is still challenging to validate accuracy of the model estimation because it only estimates potential soil losses, not the actual sediment yield. Therefore, in this study, a method for estimating actual soil loss based on the ArcSATEEC model was suggested. The model was applied to eight watersheds in South Korea to estimate sediment yields. Correction factor was introduced for each watershed, and the estimated sediment yield was compared with that of the estimated yield by LOAD ESTimator (LOADEST). Sediment yield estimation for all watersheds exhibited reliable results, and the validity of the proposed correction factor was confirmed, suggesting the correction factor needs to be considered in estimating actual soil loss.

Although there are existing Residual Current Protective Device (RCD) including detect electric leakage and elements such as short circuit and surge, the occurrence of incidents caused by electric faults, including fire, are still constant. The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of accidents through the electric field distribution in the interpretation of the fault contact breaker. Simulation results by the arc fault has shown the convergence of temperature and electric field to the defect. Through their simulation results, the main cause of erosion phenomena in circuit breaker bar is the electric arc by concentration of electric field not due to dissolve by temperature.
