In this paper, the lightning-induced voltages on shielded twisted-pair wires with multipoint grounding on cable sheath are calculated by using finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method. The equivalent single-wire line that represents a bundle of twisted-pair wires is adopted for computational efficiency. A finitely conducting ground is also taken into account in both lightning electromagnetic field calculations and surge propagation along the shielded cable for a practical simulation. It is found that multipoint additional grounding on cable sheath provides more shielding effectiveness especially in the early time response of the lightning-induced voltages. From this study, the requirements for lighting surge protection devices in a telecommunication subscriber cab1e can be established.

This paper discusses the effects of ECC (Earth Continuity Conductor) for reducing the level of induced sheath overvoltages at the single point bonded section of combined transmission lines which are mixed underground power cable with overhead line in one T/L. In previous papers, the characteristics of ECC on only underground power cable systems were sufficiently analyzed. However, the result of only underground power cable systems are totally different from that of combined transmission lines because ECC is commonly grounded with overhead grounding wire at mesh of cable head. Therefore, in this paper, the installation effects of ECC have been variously analyzed considering the three kinds of fault positions, cable formation of duct and trefoil, spacing between phase conductor and ECC, and the change of overhead transmission line section length on 154kV combined transmission line. Finally, simulation results show that ECC can effectively reduce the induced sheath voltage.

In this paper, installation type is analyzed into a single and mixed burying type on burying situation of domestic underground transmission cables, and problem of underground cable is discussed with investigating the relation between burying type and sheath circulation current. Investigated cable systems are 520 T/L which have 512T/L for 154kV and 8T/L for 345kV. The authors consider that the analysis of sheath circulating current with burying type will contribute for setting reduction methods of sheath circulation current.

The change in induced voltage according to the relationship of ground connection between the aluminum sheath layer and a conductor pair in a general telecommunication cable is analyzed. When a measurement is practiced under the condition of separated sheath grounds with an averaged ground resistance of $42.6{\Omega}$, the induced voltage decreases 10 % to the induced voltage without sheath grounds. The induced voltage decreases approximately 50 % in the case of a one-sided common ground and decreases by more than 90 % in the case of a both-sided common ground. This experimental result is similar to the values calculated using the methods of the ITU Directives. In addition, according to a comparison analysis utilizing this ITU method, the measurement error range will be below 10 % in the state of ground resistance of central office less than $10{\Omega}$ and for the terminal side with $100{\Omega}$ less or more.

In this study, in case the lead sheath of XLPE cable (radius : 15cm, inner conductor radius : 5cm, insulation paper raidius : 6cm, dc voltage : 1MV) is harmed, so that breakdown process by inhomogeneous eletric field is simulated with Finite Element Method. The result of simulation showed that defect of lead sheath layer caused breakdown.

In underground power cable system, the device for limiting over-voltage is needed when transient over-voltage break out between sheath and ground. For this reason, the SVL(Sheath Voltage Limiter) has been applied on weak points. But the broken SVLs which are installed on the single point bonding system on underground cable are frequently found. In this paper, EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program) is utilized to analyze effects on the installation methodology of the parallel ground conductor and SVL for the single point bonding system on the underground cable. The result shows that the proposed installation methodology can be applied for single point bonding system and contribute for power system stabilization.

This paper describes the EMTP modeling method using searching coil test for HVDC submarine cables. HVDC submarine cables consist of conductor, lead sheath and amore. It is different from general cable which is composed with just conductor and aluminium sheath. Therefore, the transient characteristics are totally different between HVDC submarine cable and general cable. However, the study on HVDC cable modeling and transient are insufficient. In this paper, EMTP modeling is performed according to grounding interval and grounding resistance, then they are compared with real test results by searching coil test.

This paper describes the effects on SUS tube of power optical fiber composite cable on underground transmission lines. The effects on grounding, air gap between SUS tube and metal sheath, contact resistance between outer semi-conducting layer and metal sheath and grounding of SUS tube application or not are variously analysed using EMTP in normal operating condition as well as single line to ground fault. From these results, in this paper, the scheme for protecting the electrically abnormal phenomena will be established on power-optical fiber composite cable of underground transmission lines. This paper can contribute to specification of grounding reference of SUS tube of optical fiber composite power cable system.

In this paper, new simulator based on EMTP was introduced for simulation of underground power cable system. The newly developed simulator was named as Power Cable Simulator(PCS), and it can simulate the various normal conditions including sheath circulating current. It is also easier to use than conventional software, such as EMTP and CabSim, because all the data for calculating the cable parameters are stored in a database(DB) within a PCS. In addition, the accuracy of PCS is also proved through the comparison between the calculation and simulation of sheath current.

Distance realy is tripped by the line impedance calculated at the relay point. Accordingly the accurate operation depends on the precise calculation of line impedance. Impedance can be accurately calculated in case of overhead line. However, in case of power cables or combined transmission lines, impedance can not be accurately calculated because cable systems have the sheath, grounding resistance, and sheath voltage limiters(SVLs). There are also several grounding systems in cable systems. Therefore, if there is a fault in cable systems, these terms will severely be caused much error to calculation of impedance. Accordingly the proper compensation should be developed for the correct operation of the distance relay. This paper presents the distance calculating algorithm in combined transmission line with power cable using wavelet transform. In order to achieve such purpose, judgement method to discriminate the fault section in both sections was proposed using D1 coefficient summation in db4. And also, error compensation value was proposed for correct calculation of impedance in power cables section.
