With the increasing popularity of renewable generation systems and the advancement of power electronics, DC distribution systems have recently received considerable research attention. DC distribution has numerous advantages, including reliability, power quality, and efficiency. Owing to these advantages, DC distribution has been applied to data centers and power quality-sensitive electronic load conditions. Because grounding electrodes in DC are much more susceptible to corrosion than in AC, the IT system defined in IEC Standard 60364 may be a good candidate for an earthing method for DC distribution systems. In addition, IEC Standard 61557 specifies the requirements for insulation monitoring devices (IMD) for protection of the IT system, which continuously monitors the insulation resistances between the power lines and the earth. This paper discusses the development and evaluation of IMD to promote the reliability of distribution systems and increase safety of humans and facilities.

현재 배전선로는 4가지 접지종별을 준용하여 피뢰기, 가공지선, 변압기, 기기류, 중성선 둥을 접지시공하고 있다. 또한 규정된 접지저항값에 따라 접지전극을 시공하고 2년에 1회 주기적으로 접지저항값을 측정하고 관리하고 있다. 현재 접지저항값의 측정에는 휴대가 간편하고 측정이 용이한 HOOK-ON 접지저항계가 주로 이용되고 있다. 그러나 HOOK-ON 접지저항계는 $\pm$5[\%]$정도의 측정오차 뿐만 아니라 측정선 전류가 1[A]를 초과하는 경우 변류용 철심이 포화되어 측정이 어렵다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 HOOK-ON 측정기법의 단점을 보완하여 다중접지 배전계통에서 부하 불평형 및 고조파 둥에 의해 발생하는 접지선 누설전류를 전류원으로 이용하는 접지전극의 접지저항을 측정하는 새로운 측정기법을 제안하였다. 또한 이를 실제 배전계통에 적용하여 전위강하법을 이용하여 측정한 접지저항값과 비교하였다.

This paper have analyzed sheath induced voltage in underground transmission cable system which will be operated with cable cover protection unit(CCPU). Simulation was carried out to analyze sheath induced voltage using on real cable system in the case with and without CCPU. Sheath induced voltage was also analyzed according to grounding method, fault resistance and fault angle. Simulation was performed using EMTP and ATP Draw, the simulation results represent whether the arrester is necessary or not in cable system.

국내에 사용되고 있는 접지전극을 바탕으로 표준화된 실증실험장을 구축하였다. 구축된 실험장의 대지저항율을 측정하여 프로그램(CDEGS)을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 실시하였으며, 실증실험장의 접지전극을 IEEE Std-81.2에 의한 실험설비를 구축하여 접지저항을 측정하였으며, 시뮬레이션 데이터와 비교분석하였다. 실험결과 접지전극이 클수록 시뮬레이션 데이터와 측정값이 일치하였다. 대규모 접지전극의 경우 시뮬레이션 데이터로 접지전극의 경제적 설계가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

It has been known that the values of soil resistance drops when a high impulse current is injected into a grounding electrode. In this study, the electrical characteristics of medium grain size sand to different water contents are investigated. The results were discussed based on its voltage and current traces, impulse resistances and I-V curve.

In this study, an experiment on the efficient construction method of plate electrodes, the influence of electric potential interference in plate electrodes, and building foundations were explored. The experimental result of the electric potential measurement was taken on the basis of the direction of movement and the condition in which the plate electrodes are laid underground in building foundations. It shows that the construction method of laying the plate electrodes vertically exhibits a more efficient reduction of electric potential in a diagonal direction and on an X axis than laying plates horizontally. For plate electrode construction in an area that has uniform conditions, the parallel joint construction method is more effective than a single construction to reduce earth electrical potential and ground resistance. In addition, a straight arrangement performs well in ground efficiency, compared to the parallel arrangement.

This paper describes an improved analysis method for sheath circulating current on three-underground transmission cables using EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program). Author studied diversely the sheath circulating current on three-underground cables depending on the various length rate, the phase arrangement, and the grounding resistance of the sheath in the cross-bonded section. It was clear that very large circulating current is generated in cable systems due to unbalanced length rate and phase arrangement in the cross-bonded section. The analysing method for two or more underground cables will be really Improved for cable system utility.

This paper describes the surge calculations on cable cores and sheaths when an unit step surge is applied in a cable core. It is clear that the maximum core voltage appears at the ending point and maximum sheath voltage is induced at the sending points. It appears that the smaller grounding resistance can offer results having some trends which larger core voltage appears at the end point and smaller voltage is induced at the sending point.

In this paper. we studied cut off characteristics and fire hazard of residual current protective devices(RCD or ELB) for low voltage. The operative time of RCD with grounding resistance was analyzed by using RCD operating tester. The surface structure and composition of insulator were analyzed by using scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy(EDX). The surface of phenol resin showed network structure and void. The spectra shown in EDX analysis are composed not only of the corresponding elements but also of several new spectra, as CK. OK$\alpha$. MgK, SiK. and CaK, which were absent in original material.

The line impedance is important data that is applied in all analysis fields of electric power system like power flow, fault current, stability and relay calculation etc. Usually, 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 wires, and earth resistance. Therefore, if there is a fault in cable system, these terms will severely be caused much error to calculation of impedance. Therefore, the line impedance were measured for this study in an actual power system of underground cables, and were analyzed by a generalized circuit analysis program EMTP for comparison with the measured value. These analysis result is considered to become foundation of impedance calculation for underground cable.
