The one step type pole and two step type pole are used in KEPCO's distribution system. The neutral current increases in three-phase four-wire distribution system due to unbalanced load. Usually, power line and communication line are installed at contiguity by effect of topography in Korea. To this end, the damages such as electrostatic induction, electromagnetic induction and harmonic induction generated by induced voltage and current are occured in power line and communication line. This paper calculates the neutral current in KEPCO's distribution system using EMTP by composing various simulated conditions. Also, these results are verified by vector analysis.

Neutral line current is analyzed by the neutral line CF in nonlinear load balanced and unbalanced conditions. The worst nonlinear load condition is nonlinear balanced load condition. and It is below CFNL=1.194 that a neutral line current could not excess the rated value.

Phase to ground faults are possibly one of the maximum number of faults in power distribution system. During a ground fault the maximum fault current and neutral to ground voltage will appear at the pole nearest to the fault. Distribution lines are consisted of three phase conductors, an overhead ground wire and a multigrounded neutral line. In this paper phase to neutral faults were staged at the specified concrete pole along the distribution line and measured the ground fault current distribution in the ground fault current, three poles nearest to the fault point, overhead ground wire and neutral line. A simplified equivalent circuit model for the distribution system under case study calculated by using MATLAB gives results very close to the ground fault current distribution yielded by field tests.

The thesis has derived the formulas and computational algorithms useful for predicting and constraining the potential rises on the neutral line in 3-phase, 4-wire distribution line systems in the case of contact faults and single-line grounding faults. In addition it has suggested economically optimal designing conditions herewith of the distribution line systems in conduction with the potential restraining cost functions.

According to the increase of electric consumption nowadays, power system becomes complicated. Due to this, the size of single line-to-ground fault from power system also increases to have many problems. In order to resolve these problems effectively, an Superconducting Fault Current Limiter(SFCL) was proposed and continuous study has been done. In this paper, an SFCL was combined to the neutral line of a transformer. An superconductivity has the characteristics of zero resistance below critical temperature. because of this, SFCL has nearly zero resistance. so we connecting SFCL to neutral line will not only have any loss in the normal operation but also have the less burden of electric power because of only limiting the initial fault current. We analyzed the characteristics of current, voltage according to the changes of turn ratio of 3 phase system in case of combinations of an SFCL to the neutral line. It was confirmed that the limiting rate of initial fault current by the increase of turn ratio was reduced.

This paper proposed the structure that applied superconductors to the neutral line of a transformer and applied the normal conductors to the third line. The superconductor applied to the neutral line of a transformer limited the peak value of initial fault current, while the normal conductor finally limited the fault current. In order to secure the operating reliability of transformer type Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) of previously proposed structure, we analyzed the operating characteristics according to the fault types. We tested a line-to-ground fault and a line-to-line fault. As a result of the experiment, all the faults showed that the superconductor stably limited the peak-value of initial fault current. Also, the normal conductor finally limited the fault current. Based on this research results, We thought that if the structure of inserting superconductor into the neutral line is applied to the real system, it could improve the reliability and stability of the power system.

At the neutral sections, There are neutral sections inserted in overhead contact line between the substations to divide different phase current sections of AC electrified lines. except convention line, a large stress occurs in the contact wire near the fittings under passing pantographs. So, in order to raise the train speed over 150km/h, a new type section has been adopted.

This paper introduces a low-frequency switching method for the neutral line of TNPC inverters to achieve high efficiency. By applying the method, the switching loss in the neutral line is reduced. In order to compensate the current distortion near zero-crossing points, the partial switching strategy is applied. Both the simulation and the experimental results verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

This paper analyzed the adoption possibility of a low cost single phase active power filter as the neutral current reduction device in three-phase four-wire power system with the balanced or/and unbalnaced nonlinear load conditions. Proposed system can make neutral line current to within rated vale without the phase current THD change of the installed phase line.

The past harmonic filter was reactor and Zig-zag. However neutral reactor over heating become an issue. If take advantage of Zig-zag TR line and Neutral line Open Delta mode TR to disappear TR sounds and harmonic by the help of experiments.
