This paper presents summary results of direct interview survey of Korean industrial customers conducted to evaluate the direct and short duration interruption costs resulting from local random electrical supply interruptions. The cost is evaluated using the questionnaires authors designed, which are mainly on the experience or preparatory actions consumers Predicted they would take. Economic evaluation of reliability that traditionally takes into account duration and frequency of interruption does not accurately reflect the lost value or economic impacts of industrial customer, especially large size, caused by any kind of interruption. So, to imply the substantial difference in costs incurred by different customer group, the authors apply the international standards, i.e. IEC, IEEE, to the analysis on the interruption costs.

In this paper, an arc current controller was designed for the interruption of arc fault currents occurred in a low voltage network. Arc in an electrical network represents the characteristics of low current, high impedance, and high frequency. Conventional controllers do not have arc current interrupt functions. Thus, an arc current controller was designed for the interruption of arc fault currents.

Arc Fault Current is an electric discharge which is occurred in two opposite electrode. In this Paper, arc current control algorithm is designed for the interruption of arc fault current which is occurred in the low voltage network. This arc Is one of the main causes of electric fire. Arc fault in electrical network has the characteristics of low current, high impedance and high frequency. Conventional control algorithm does not have the arc current interrupt function. Hence, Control algorithm of arc current is designed for the interruption of arc fault current which has the modified arc characteristics.

This paper presents a method to improve reliability by dispersed generation (DG) installation considering load types and interruption cost. The objective functions such as power losses cost, operation cost of DGS, power buy cost and interruption cost are minimized for reliability improvement and efficient operation. The several indices for reliability evaluation are improved by dispersed generation system installation.

The performance of copper-tungsten for electrodes used in an ultra high voltage interruption system was evaluated by means of an interruption test, which requires a large-scale apparatus and high cost. In this study, prior to the interruption test, the characteristics of a Cu-W electrode were estimated through the DC arc test, which is a simple, low cost procedure. The DC arc characteristics of a 20wt%Cu-80wt%W electrode were investigated with the change of tungsten powder size distribution and the addition of nickel. In specimens containing a high volume fraction of large sized tungsten particles, the relative density and hardness of sintered Cu-W electrodes increased while the electrical conductivity and the DC arc resistance decreased. Furthermore, the relative density became enhanced with the increase of the amount of nickel while the hardness and electrical conductivity diminished and the DC arc resistance worsened.

This paper assesses interruption costs on the industry load through using the microscopic method. For assessment, the questionnaire was made on Korea Standard Industry Categorization which is composed of 28 type of industry Then, the survey was distributed to 1889 business in 12 area by staffs of KEPCO. The collected data is changed to the trustworthy data by using Bad Data Selection method and then the interruption costs of industry load was calculated by Tobit Regression which is tool analysing both collected data and the others.

This paper presents a reliability evaluation method for considering the voltage quality. The proposed evaluation methods are contained the sustained interruption, momentary interruption and voltage sag. For momentary interruption, evaluation indexes are divided the duration based index and the interruption cost index. For voltage sag, the final result of evaluation method represents the magnitude for customers' risk due to the voltage sag. The proposed method is tested using the RBTS model and a reliability data in KEPCO's system.

The objective of this study is to evaluate properly reliability of underground distribution system taking into account domestic circumstance. Interruption time and number of interruption customer by distribution system based on actual condition in domestic utility are considered as important index to estimate reliability of underground distribution system. This paper presents algorithm to evaluate reliability of underground distribution system by using a model system as new urban area. Evaluation results which is established are shown in detail according to whether automatic system is introduced or not.

Air arc interruption used in low rated voltage breaker, ACB and MCCB, have used the arc chamber composed of metal plates and insulating laminates which supposed these mechanically. and geometry and materials of arc chamber are very different by breaker manufacturer. These breakers have required to be smaller and to interrupt higher current by user. therefore the arc chamber geometry and material in breaker have been small, complex and various. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of insulating laminates and contact materials on air arc interruption. Contacts were surrounded by a rectangle chamber of insulating laminates. Contact concoctions were composed of AgW, AgCdO that have used in low rated voltage breaker, and insulating laminates were polyester, epoxy. We found strong dependance of arc voltage on insulating material. The ablated vapor on polyester increased arc voltage that was useful in air arc interruption.
