In this paper, we developed a sensor for monitoring the leakage current through the chassis of the robot. The leakage current sensor needs to be developed because it is a necessary part to prevent electric shock accidents that may occur through the chassis of a robot or an electric vehicle. This leakage monitoring sensor was developed to be mounted directly on the chassis of the robot. This sensor protects the control system from noise by discharging static and high-frequency noise that may occur in the chassis of the robot and monitors the leakage current by measuring the amount of current discharged through the ground. In this paper, a leakage monitoring sensor was developed with a simple structure using resistors, capacitors and OP-AMP, and the performance was evaluated.

As a ZnO varistor is subjected to electrical and environmental stresses, it degrades gradually, which may result in power interruption by short circuit. This study investigates changes in the electrical characteristics of ZnO varistors due to deterioration owing to energy absorption, and determines the optimal parameters for on-line diagnosis of the varistor. Two types of varistors were used for an accelerated aging experiment involving the application of the $8/20{\mu}s$ standard lightning impulse current. The electrical characteristics in terms of the reference voltage, total leakage current, resistive leakage current, and third-harmonic component of the total leakage current were measured, and their change rates were analyzed. The results revealed that the total leakage current increased slightly with an increase in the varistor absorbed energy, while the resistive leakage current and the third-harmonic component increased apparently. Therefore, the third-harmonic component of the total leakage current was proposed as the optimal parameter for on-line monitoring of ZnO varistor conditions.

The electrical properties of Al/TiN/Ti contact are investigated at submicron contacts. The contact resistance and contact leakage current are dependent on metallization, surface dopant concentration, semiconductor surface treatment and contact plug ion implantation. In this paper, the contact resistance and contact leakage current are studied according to surface dopant concentration, semiconductor surface treatment and contact plug ion implantation at 0.8 micron contact. The contact resistance and contact leakage current increases with increasing substrate ion concentration. HF cleaning represents high contact resistance but low contact leakage current while CDE cleaning represents low contact resistance but high contact leakage current. Contact plug ion implantation decreases contact resistance but increases contact leakage current. Specially, RTA represents good electrical properties.

The conventional method used low pass filter for computing resistive leakage current from total leakage current. Therefore, it takes long time for computation. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to reduce the computation time. In the theory, the resistive leakage current is computed exactly from the signals during only a half period of power voltage. The suggested method uses integrator and sample-hold circuit and it is confirmed to be able to measure the resistive leakage current from total leakage current by simulation.

Our knowledge about their long-term performance in an outdoor environment is still very limited. The electrical stress caused the surface of these insulators to become degradation. In order to evaluate leakage current patterns caused by surface aging on polymeric insulators, we utilized the combined aging test facility and leakage current monitoring system. And we get the continuous leakage current values from each sample. After completing the 3000h combined aging cycle test, leakage current measurement were conducted for these samples and carried out harmonics analysis for its data.

The effects of post annealing temperature by the Rapid Thermal Annealing(RTA) on the electrical properties of Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$(PZT) thin film were investigated. Analyses by the RTA treatments reveled that the leakage current of PZT thin films strongly depend on heating temperature and time. It was found that leakage current properties of PZT capacitor were changed by heating temperature during the RTA annealing. On Pt/Ti/Si substrates, PZT films are deposited at 350 $^{\circ}C$ by rf magnetron sputtering. The X-ray diffusion (XRD) was confirmed the formation of PZT thin film. Leakage current characteristics were improved with decreasing the post annealing temperature of PZT thin film. RTA annealed film on the 700$^{\circ}C$ shows ferroelectric and electrical properties with a remanent polarization of 12.4${\mu}$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ coercive field of 117kV/cm, leakage current J= 6.2${\times}$10$\^$-6/ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$

본 연구에서는 FeRAM 적용을 위한 BLT 캐패시터 제조시 CMP 공정압력 변화에 따른 Leakage Current의 특성에 대해서 연구하였다. 6-inch Pt/Ti/Si 웨이퍼를 사용하였으며, 기판 위에 졸-겔(Sol-Gel)법으로 모든 BLT를 스핀코팅을 이용하여 증착시켰다. 증착된 BLT는 $200^{\circ}C$에서 기본 열처리 후 다시 $700^{\circ}C$에서 후속 열처리 하였다. 이러한 과정을 두번 반복하였며, FeRAM 적용을 위한 BLT 캐패시터 제조시 CMP 공정 중 압력 변화를 달리하여 BLT 캐패시터를 제조한 후 Leakage Current를 측정하였다. 결과적으로 CMP 공정 시 압력의 증가에 따라 Leakage Current값이 증가하였다. CMP 공정시 압력과 박막 표면의 스크레치로 증가로 인해 Leakage Current의 증가하였다고 판단된다.

Current research about voltage leakage involves investigation of the effects of leaked voltage and current on humans through simulated environments and dummies. Electrocution results from leaked current when electricity flows through the body as a result of potential difference. Research that analyzes actual electrocution is insufficient because of the danger from leaked voltage present in the leakage area. This thesis analyzes magnetic flux density from current around a leak to investigate the distribution of current. The authors used a simulated environment to investigate electrocution accidents that frequently occur during floods through leakage along metal surfaces, and evaluated the distribution of leaked magnetic flux.

This paper reports the contamination performance of two distribution arresters (new and used ones) tested under three different contaminant conditions - clean fog, ESDD (equivalent salt deposit density) level (A, B, C, and D), and kaolin contamination conditions, and their leakage current, total leakage current, and component of the resistive leakage current were measured in order to diagnose arrester deterioration. The 3rd harmonics was larger than 5th and 7th ones for the arrester under the clean fog, and as the ESDD contamination level was applied, 5th one became relatively larger than 3rd one. Therefore, these results indicated that the resistive leakage current could be used for the diagnosis of the arresters.
