HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) is an underwater cable between Jeju Island and Haenam in main land and supplies approximately $50\%$ of electrical usage in Jeju Island. If there is any power failure due to HVDC, it will cost approximately 50,000 US dollars per day including Thermal Electrical Generation. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to recover the problem in rapid timely basis. Present survey method in Korea is done by scuba diver with air cylinder resulting very poor visual inspection. Other option is by only visual camera attached on miniature ROV for solely suey Purpose. This method does not includeburial depth of cable, cable position, cable condition & etc??‥‥.??? In result, current method does not generate any scientific or sophisticated data which does not allow any intelligent management decision. In conclusion, new method and new systems are needed urgently to upgrade current HVDC underwater cable survey technique in Korea to minimize the cost and time factors.

Insulation performance of major components of prefabricated joint such as epoxy insulation unit and premolded rubber cone are guaranteed by material selection design and proper manufacturing. On the other hand insulation performance of the interfaces between the premolded rubber cone and the epoxy insulation unit and the cable insulation is maintained by keeping the premolded rubber cone to close contact with such insulation by spring. Electric characteristics of a interface depend on the contact pressure, but the required characteristics are assured so far as a proper contact pressure is maintained. In this report, the interfacial pressure by pressure sensors both in the early stage and after heating cycle were measured and the simulation by FEM program were presented. The comparison of these two results show that interfacial pressure could be controlled optimally by changing the spring length and lubricant state of the interface.

In this paper, we researched the dielectric properties and voltage dependence on slice XLPE sheet from 22[kV] and 154[kV] power cable. We studied effects for impurities and water for semiconductor shield through a dielectric properties experiment to estimate performance of insulating materials in power cable. Capacitance and tan${\delta}$ of 22[kV], 154[kV] were 53/43[pF] and $7.4{\times}10^{-4},\;2.1510^{-4}$. In these results, the trend was increased with the increase of temperature. The tan${\delta}$ of XLPF/ semiconductor layer was increased as compared with that of XLPE. Dielectric properties reliability of tan${\delta}$ was small.

At the end of 2013, there were 434 nuclear power reactors in operation worldwide, with a total capacity of 371.6 GW(e), approximately 80 % had been in service 20 years and more. Many Member States have given high priority to licensing their nuclear power plants to operate for terms longer than the time frame originally anticipated(e.g. 30 or 40 years). One of challenges for long term operation is cable ageing management. How can qualify the existing cable under harsh environment in nuclear power plant? The paper described the approaches on qualification, condition monitoring, and management of low voltage cables in nuclear power plant.

In this paper, the physical and conductivity properties due to the electron beam irradiation for low density polyethylene using insulating materials of the distribution cable and ultra-high voltage cable are studied. The specimens of the low density polyethylene of thickness 100[$\mu\textrm{m}$] irradiated as each 1 [Mrad], 2[Mrad], 4[Mrad], 8[Mrad], 16[Mrad] and virgin are used in this experiment. In order to measure the conductivity properties, the micro electrometer is used, the range of temperature and app1ying voltage are 20 to 120[$^{\circ}C$], from 100 to 1000[V] respectively So. as a result of the conductivity properties, it is confirmed that the conductivity is increased nearly to 50[$^{\circ}C$], and is not changed until the crystalline melting point from the temperature over 60[$^{\circ}C$] because of the defects of morphology and the formation of many trap centers by means of electron beam irradiation

In other to estimate an electrical properties of the cross linked polyethylene cable, the partial discharge properties due to charge of electrode shape(needle and bar) and void size were investigated at room temperature. Fast trip and breakdown time were appeared by the closed of needle electrode. The trip and breakdown voltage depend on insulator thickness. As the result, confirmed larger effect of void size than effect of insulator thickness. The effect of voids size than influence of insulation thickness was dominated by internal an electrode of inner insulators.

In this paper, we analyzed and measured the characteristics of the ballasts for HID lamps according to the cable properties. The ignition voltage and the steady state voltage and current are depend on the feature and the length of the cables. So we measured characteristics at 25[m] and 100[m] distances used by a low frequency electronic ballast a high frequency electronic ballast and a magnetic ballast. By measured and analyzed result of characteristics for various kinds of ballast and cables, we concluded that the electronic ballast driving with the low frequency is better than my other ballasts, and that the capacitance between the cables is important.

This paper is aimed at determining the e-field distribution by apply voltage of air void, which can be generate air void in the XLPE cable for ultra high voltage. E-field distribution had an effect in XLPE due to the type and position of void, compared and studied. This method of analysis is based on the quasi-static electromagnetic 3D simulation program by boundary element method (BEM): Applied AC 3[kV], discretization of 2000 elements, 4 angular periodicity, The result of experiment indicate that E-field distribution appeared the highest levels on the void position of electrode 2[nm] outer boundary and shape of the smallest inner angle in the void. This will serve to explain the XLPE cable degradation studied of possible, connected cable variation of position and shape of void effects to e-field concentration.

This paper specifies the new power supply paradigm converting 154kV voltage level into 22.9kV class with equivalent capacity using superconducting rower facilities and analyze the fault current characteristics with and without HTS-FCL (High Temperature Superconducting-Fault Current Limiter). Superconducting new power system is the power system to which applies the 22.9kV HTS cable in parallel to HTS transformer and HTS-FCL with low-voltage and mass-capacity characteristics replacing 154kV conventional cable and transformer. The fault current of superconducting new power system will increase greatly because of the mass capacity and low impedance of HTS transformer and cable. This means that the HTS-FCL is necessary to reduce the fault current below the breaking current of circuit breaker. This paper analyze the fault current and suggests the parallel HTS-FCL scheme complementing the inherent problem of HTS-FCL, that is recovery after quenching is impossible within shorter than a few seconds.

The risk of high power electromagnetic(HPEM) pulse exposure to the devices used in digital control system such as PLC(programmable logic controller) and communication cable is increasing. In this paper, two different frequency ranges HPEMs were exposed to those control systems to assess the each vulnerability. The vulnerability of the EUTs exposed from HPEM were analyzed and compared with a variation of distances and source power. As the EUTs were exposed to higher level of HPEM, the voltage and communication waveform of the control system had shown a distorted response. And the unshielded twisted pair(UTP) cable connected to the EUTs showed operation failures with induced voltage. However, the foiled twisted pair(FTP) cable shielded the connected device efficiently from the HPEM exposure. Therefore, the necessity of the protection measures against the vulnerability of HPEM exposure for the digital control system used in power facilities and industrial site were verified.
