It's essential to measure electrical signals of Korea tilting train "Hanvit 200" during operation, Because we need to study operation characteristics of new electric "Hanvit 200" and we want to develop diagnosis system of main circuit of Korea tilting train "Hanvit 200". So, we measure electrical signals for developing diagnosis system of "Hanvit 200" during operation. We measure voltage and current of the primary winding of main transformer and analyze then. In result, we know that each operation mode has specific waveform and frequency. In addition, we also measure arc currents and arc voltage and we know that are of each situations has specific waveform of pattern.

This paper describes weld seam tracking and error compensation methods of automatic plasma arc welding system designed for the corrugation panel that consists of a linear section and a curved section with various curvatures. Realizing automatic welding system, we are faced with two problems. One is a precise seam tracking and the other is an arc length control. Due to the complexity of the panel shape, it is difficult to find a seam and operate a torch manually in the welding process. So, laser vision sensor for seam tracking is equipped for sensing the seam position and controlling the height of a torch automatically. To attain more precise measurement of an arc length, we measure the 3D shape of the panel and analyze error factors according to the various panel states and caused errors are predicted through the welding process. Using that result, compensation algorithm is added to that of arc length control and real time error compensation is achieved. The result shows that these two methods work effectively.

This paper presents the measured radiation intensity of high-pressure and large-current arc with the current. In order to measure the radiation intensity of large-current arc, a model circuit breaker was specially designed and manufactured and the method using an astronomical telescope was utilized after various measuring methods were investigated. A trigger system was designed and fabricated to coincide the time of desired current with the exposure time of 1ms of the spectroscope. A high-speed camera was used to investigate the shape and behavior of the arc and the captured results have been used to calculate the radiation energy. The calculated arc temperature with Boltzmann plot method using the measured radiation intensity have $18,000{\sim}27,000K$ to the current $4kA{\sim}15kA$. And also, using the calculated arc temperature and the captured arc shape the radiation energy of the current $5kA{\sim}15kA$ were calculated with $8{\times}10^5{\sim}4.0{\times}10^6W/m$ respectively.

For an arc-flash protection system, the selection of arc-flash sensor in implementation is largely dependent on the coverage area and the spatial resolution. Typically, a point sensor is used to accurately measure an arc event within a very narrow region; whereas, a loop or a line sensor can cover several electrical compartment at the same time, but with a poor resolution. In this work, a novel scheme for an arc-flash sensor was developed by making use of the transmission loss of plastic optical fibers (POFs) to cover a broad range with a high spatial resolution. By relating the amplitude ratio of the arc-signals at the ends of the POF with the arc-location, arc events could be located with a resolution of ~5 cm within a spatial range of 10 m, which has not been reported yet.

Electrical arc is the final stage of insulation breakdown and has high current density which cause heat and light in insulator. Insulator under electrical arc lost its insulating strength and eternal damages. Conventional criterion of electrical arc resistance in Standards have depended on the change of sound pressure and light color after damages on insulator by electrical arc. The recognition of these changes is done by human himself which was very subjective and resulted in some error to judge whether insulator has damages or not. This paper has shown that antenna method is the appropriate measure to judge electrical arc resistance for insulator. Antenna measures the electromagnetic waves radiated from tungsten electrodes with 6mm gap regulated by KSC2130. Applied voltage cross two tungsten electrodes have two different methods such as 1/8 10 and continuous 10mA. Signal amplitudes obtained by antenna has diminished after the damage of insulator, which will provide objective and good way to judge the electrical arc resistance.

It is necessary to install the arc generation facility to obtain the important technology for the design of breakers and switches, and the improvement of their performance and reliability. With this facility it is possible to study the characteristics of Arc in air/gas/vacuum insulation environment. The arc generation facility briefly consists of capacitor bank which can charge enormous energy, an air-core reactor, and several measurement equipments. This facility can simulates the arc phenomena in breakers and switches by means of generating high currents. In order to the protect electrode damage during the arcing time in arc extinguishing chamber, we installed auxiliary current source in addition to main capacitor bank, This auxiliary current source produces relatively small arc between electrodes before high current generation by main capacitor bank. Therefore it is possible to observe and measure the arcing phenomenon without damage of electrodes.

Underwater wet arc welds were experimentally performed on 11mm thick KR-RA steel plate using six different types of flux coated electrodes of 4.0mm diameter, KSKR, KSKT, USBL, JPUW, UWEA and UWEB. From analysis of bead appearance, detachability of weld slag, spatter occurrence and arc stability, JPUW gives the best result, and UWEB is superior to KSKR and KSKT. By experimental result of hardness distribution on the weld bonds, UWEB weld has the narrowest bond structure which is probable condition to get the best mechanical properties of weld. UWEB and JPUW welds have more even hardness distribution across weld deposit and base metal. Upon polarization test to measure the respondency of corrosion, the electrode of UWEB shows the most excellent degree due to the low open circuit potential difference.

After various measuring methods and system were investigated, Rogowski colis for the measurement of parameters in current zero region were designed and manufactured. Using the Rogowski coils and a 38kV 40kA VCB (vacuum circuit breaker), at last the post-arc current has been successfully measured firstly. It was found that the Rogowski coils used in this study have good characteristics and propriety to measure the parameters of current zero. We realized that the data processing for evaluating the post-arc current from the experimental results needs much more careful attention than that for building the measuring technique and system. The magnitude of post-arc current and the falling time of it to zero are proportioned to the rate of current di/dt. The magnitude of post-arc currents were around $1{\sim}3A$ to the interruption current of $20{\sim}30kA$ in the model VCB.
