The inductive reactance losses of a superconducting current generator built at Case Western Reserve University has been analyzed. The calculations of the field in the spot make it possible to estimate the spot inductance as well as the filament inductance on the foil. It is shown that magnetic energy lost in switching the current is mainly due to the amplitude of the fluctuation in voltage associated with the inductive reactance losses of a superconducting current generator.

We designed and fabricated VCO using inductive reactance variation at 2GHz. A varactor diode is one of the main devices in VCO, which varies capacitance depending on reverse voltage. In this paper, a varactor diode is not used as a variable capacitive reactance device but as an inductive device. The circuit design and simulation have been carried out using HP-MDS. The fabricated VCO is measured using the HP 8532B spectrum analyzer and the HP 4352B VCO/PLL analyzer. The experimental result shows the phase noise -110dBc/Hz at a 100kHz offset frequency, the control voltage sensitivity of 23MHz/V and a -3.5dBm output power with a D.C. current consumption of 5.9mA. The simulation and measurements show exact agreement except with regard to the oscillation frequency. The measured oscillation frequency is lower than the simulation result because there is some parasitic inductance in the PCB layout.

This paper suggests the inductive power collector using electromagnetic induction for railway vehicle such as the PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system. Some ideas for inductive power collector design to improve the power transfer performance are presented. The inductive power of secondary part is related to mount of linked flux to secondary part by the length of air-gap, which is expected by such a system parameter as leakage reactance and magnetizing reactance. This paper will study for some performance of traditional transformer from equivalent circuit considering leakage reactance.

This paper describes the theory and experimental result of scaled model of SSSC. The SSSC, a solid-state voltage source inverter coupled with a transformer, is connected in series with a transmission line. Injected voltage is almost in quadrature with the line current, thereby emulating an inductive or a capacitive reactance in series with the transmission line.

This paper describes the theory and experimental result of scaled model of STATCOM. The STATCOM, a solid-state voltage source inverter coupled with a transformer, is tied to a transmission line. A STATCOM inject an almost sinusoidal current of variables magnitude, at the pont of connection. This injected current is almost in quadrature with the line voltage, thereby emulating an inductive or capacitive reactance at the point of connection with the transmission line.

In these days, large structures are constructed and bonded with ground grid Because the distances between mesh and auxiliary electrodes are not enough in downtown areas, it is very difficult to measure the ground resistance of large scale grounding electrode systems. Actually the auxiliary electrodes for test are installed in grounding grid. This paper present the experimental results of ground resistance and impedance according to the location of auxiliary electrode. As a result, we get much lower resistances and impedances than real values the auxiliary electrodes are placed in the ground grid. In case that the auxiliary electrodes are located in the ground grid the resistances are very low and reactance only is inductive component.

We have studied the breaking system that combines a resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) and a DC circuit breaker for DC fault current. To verify the design of the 15 kV DC SFCL, which was driven from the previous work, a 500 V DC system was built and a scale-down SFCL were manufactured. The manufactured SFCL module was designed as a bifilar coil which is a structure that minimizes inductive reactance. The manufactured SFCL module has been experiment to verify characteristics of the current-limiting performance in the DC 500 V system. Also, the manufactured FCL module was combined with the DC circuit breaker to be experimented to analyze the breaking performance. As a result of the experiment, when SFCL was combined to the DC circuit breaker, the energy dissipation received by the DC circuit breaker was reduced by up to 84% compared to when the DC circuit breaker operates alone. We are preparing methods and experiments for the optimal method for much higher performance as a future work.

When the line and switchgear of the substation system are disconnected, ferro-resonance can occur. This happens even if the capacitive reactance and inductive reactance are not equal, which are not common resonance conditions. Resonance conditions vary depending on the busbar configuration environment. Although the damping resistance method applying the existing saturable reactor to cope with ferro-resonance has been successfully applied on site, there can be loss of normal function during long-term operation. The reason is because the rise in the operating frequency of saturable reactors means the saturation number is increased. Therefore, it can no longer function as saturable reactor since the resistor having inadequate capacity is burned out. To address this problem, in this paper, an EMTP-based simulation test was performed by designing and applying a dual reactor method, which adds an extended divergence reactor to the 1st side of the VT. The test result confirms that when the divergence reactor is inserted, the voltage and current values obtained at the 1st side and 2nd side of the VT as well as current values of divergence reactor part were stabilized from the transient phenomena and return to normal values. When compared with existing measures, although this method is similar in adding having a reactor added to a system regarding ferro-resonance, it has the advantage of being able to prevent ferro-resonance in advance since the reactor is added before the system is saturated. In addition, because it does not use damping resistance, it can extend the equipment life and stabilize its operation. Therefore, there are a lot of differences in terms of its operating characteristics and achivement of goal between the conventional method and new divergence reactor method.

Characteristics of optical transceiver module in radio frequency(RF) band were investigated with TO-can packaged Fabry-Perot laser diode(FP-LD). R-L-C parameters for equivalent circuit model of the LD were extracted with an impedance analyzer. With this model, impedance matching to the packaged LD could be performed by eliminating inductive components of the leads in the package by using lumped chip capacitors that have opposite reactance, while it shows resonance dip in low frequency band. The resonance dip could be removed using lumped elements for impedance matching by shifting the resonance frequency to the region out of interest.

This paper presents a wideband Colpitts voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) with nanosecond startup time and a center frequency of 8.35 GHz for a new bubble-type motion detector that has a bubble-layer detection zone at the specific distance from itself. The VCO circuit consists of two parts; one is a negative resistance part with a HEMT device and Colpitts feedback structure and the other is a resonator part with a varactor diode and shorted shunt microstrip line. The shorted shunt microstrip line and series capacitor are utilized to compensate for the input reactance of the packaged HEMT that changes from capacitive values to inductive values at 8.1 GHz due to parasitic package inductance. By tuning the feedback capacitors which determine negative resistance values, this paper also investigates startup time improvement with the negative resistance variation and tuning bandwidth improvement with the reactance slope variation of the negative resistance part. The VCO measurement shows the tuning bandwidth of 2.3 GHz(28 %), the output power of 4.1~7.5 dBm and the startup time of less than 2 nsec.
