이 논문은 피임펄스전류의 입사에 따른 ZnO 피뢰기의 열화 특성에 대하여 기술하였다. 뇌서지에 의한 ZnO 피뢰기의 열화특성을 분석하기 위해 시료 ZnO 피뢰기에 8/20[${\mu}s$], 2.5[kA]의 표준뇌임펄스전류를 인가하였다. 뇌임펄스전류를 인가한 것과 인가하지 않은 ZnO 피뢰기에 흐르는 상용주파수 AC 및 DC 누설전류를 측정하였다. 그 결과 임펄스전류의 인가횟수가 증가함에 따라 누설전류는 증가하였고 AC전압에서 누설전류의 비 대칭성은 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 뇌임펄스전류를 인가하지 않은 ZnO 피뢰기의 ZnO 입자는 균일한데 반해 뇌임펄스전류를 인가한 ZnO 피뢰기의 ZnO 입자는 불균일하게 변형되었다. 또한 뇌임펄스전류 인가에 따른 $Bi_2O_3$의 감소가 입계층의 결핍을 발생시키며 입계층의 결핍에 의한 전류의 집중이 ZnO 피뢰기 소자의 비선형 특성의 열화에 대한 중요한 요인으로 작용한 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The study of lightning surge have been conducted on information and communications equipment and power system. However, the research on SMPS itself is an inactive field. This paper analyzes surge current path of flyback converter with the combination wave generator by lightning surge. Also, this paper discloses that there exists the surge current with high-frequency component besides the low-frequency component based on the standard surge current. This high-frequency surge current is the major reason to damage the semiconductor devices such as FET and IC. To confirm the validity of the proposed issue, the analysis and experimental results are presented.

This paper describes the lightning surge analysis model of extra high voltage GIS using EMTP. Various lightning current parameters were investigated in order to confirm the impact on the lightning surge analysis such as lightning current amplitude, waveform, size of GIS, tower footing resistance and surge arresters. The multi-story tower model and EMTP/TACS model were introduced for the simulation of dynamic arc characteristics. The margin between the maximum overvoltage and BIL of the GIS was about 10 percent and the margin between the maximum overvoltage and BIL of the transformer was 21 percent.

This paper deals with the change of the micro-structure of ZnO associated with lightning surge current and ageing test. In this work, a surge current generator which can produce 8/20 [${\mu}s$], 6 [kA] impulse current is designed and fabricated to simulate the lightning impulse current. The residual voltage and leakage current flowing to ZnO blocks are observed. Also a compensation circuit was used in resistive current measurement. The micro-structures of ZnO arrester block were significantly changed by lightning surge current and accelerated temperature ageing test.

This paper dealt with the performance evaluation and the diagnostic techniques of lightning arresters for DC electric traction vehicle. Field Measurements on the protective operation of lightning arresters against surge currents were carried out on running vehicles to acquire the data necessary for the diagnosis. The frequency and the magnitude of surge events were analyzed. Surge currents of $1\sim3$ times were recorded in one running service route and their magnitudes were ranges of $150A\sim2kA$. Also, an acceleration experiment on a lightning arrester by the standard lightning impulse current of 8/20 us and 5 kA was performed to know the aging characteristics. After the surge current application of 3,000 times, the reference voltage decreased by 4.5 %, and the leakage current was below 10 uA at the continuous operating voltage and about 50 uA at the rated voltage. From the experimental results, we propose a decision level of leakage current for the arrester used in this paper and designed an arrester tester which analyzes arrester condition by the magnitude of leakage current.

This paper deals with the surge counter drived by lightning and switching currents. In order to install the effective surge protective devices, it is important to find the parameters of incident surges. In this paper, for the purpose of protecting the electronic circuits and counting the occuring frequency, the current driving type surge counter is designed and fabricated. The surge counter consists of surge protective divices, current detector, metal oxide varistor(MOV), rectifier, capacitor, and electromagnetic counter. This surge counter is able to count the occuring frequency of surges and to clamp lightning surge current. To evaluate the performance of the surge counter, impulse voltage and current were applied at the surge counter by the surge generator. As a result, applied surges were exactly counted and clamped.

A ground electrode subjected to lightning surge current shows the transient impedance behaviors. The ground electrode for protection against lightning should be evaluated in view of the transient grounding impedance and conventional grounding impedance, not ground resistance. The transient impedance characteristics of ground electrodes are influenced by the shape of ground electrode and the soil characteristics, as well as the waveform of lightning surge current. In order to propose a simulation method of analyzing the transient impedance characteristics of the grounding system in practical use, this paper suggests a theoretical analysis method of distributed parameter circuit model to simulate the transient impedance characteristics of counterpoise subjected to lightning surge current. EMTP and Matlab programs were employed to compute the transient grounding impedances of three counterpoises with different lengths. As a consequence, the simulated results using the proposed distributed parameter circuit model are in good agreement with the measured results.

The metal oxide varistor (MOV) is a major component of the surge protection devices (SPDs) currently in use. The device is judged to be faulty when fatigue caused by the continuous inflow of lightning accumulates and reaches the damage limit. In many cases, induced lightning resulting from lightning strikes flows in to the device several times per second in succession. Therefore, the frequency or the rate at which the SPD is actually exposed to stress, called a surge, is outside the range of human perception. For this reason, the protective device should be replaced if it actually approaches the end of its life even though it is not faulty at present, currently no basis exists for making the judgment of remaining lifetime. Up to now, the life of an MOV has been predicted solely based on the number of inflow surges, irrespective of the magnitude of the surge current or the amount of energy that has flowed through the device. In this study, nonlinear data that shows the damage to an MOV depending on the count of surge and the amount of input current were collected through a high-voltage test. Then, a failure prediction algorithm was proposed by preparing a look-up table using the results of the test. The proposed method was experimentally verified using an impulse surge generator
