Receltly, Underground transmission system is getting increased. Therefore the design of grounding system becomes very important to discharge overcurrent of lightning and fault through earth and reduce sheath induced voltage and sheath circulation current. This paper describes fault current distribution ratio for grounding line with grounding types of normal joint box and sheath grounding resistor at line-to-ground fault of cable.

Previous research results indicated that the designed current reduction device could effectively reduce the sheath circulating current and that its RDP protection device could shield it against both fault and lightning strokes. In this paper, cable impedance is analyzed using wavelet analysis and distance relay algorithm following the installation of these devices so that the operation of distance relay can be estimated. The test results confirm that in these devices, the fault inception angle and SVL bonding types have no impact on the change of cable impedance. In other words, the conventional distance relay can be used without a new relay setting. Thus we can finally assert that the designed current reduction device and its protection device are effective and can be safely installed on the cable transmission system without disturbance.

This paper reports the results of a study on the over-current characteristics of IV insulated wire sheath according to accelerated degradation. In order to examine the degradation of a IV insulated wire sheath through insulation, acceleration degradation experiments were performed using the Arrhenius equation of acceleration life test models; test samples with equivalent lives of 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 years were prepared. Then allowed currents with over-current of 100%~500% were introduced to measure the times of first generation of smokes and carbonization in the wire sheath, and it was found that the times of first generation of smokes and carbonization in the wire sheath decreased as the equivalent life increased. In more detail, when 270% over-current is applied, the electrical fire risk of equivalent life of 40 years increased by approximately 3.2 times based on equivalent life of 0 years. Also, when the over-current was 255% and 260%, carbonization occurred only in the equivalent life of 40 years, and the fire risk according to the accelerated degradation was increased dramatically. In addition, FT-IR and SEM analyzes were used to confirm the characteristics and surface changes of IV insulated wire sheath according to the equivalent life.

Recently, the fire by sheath heater has been occurred frequently on winter season. The sheath heater has simple internal structure and boils water simply. Therefore, the use of sheath heater has been increased. In this study, found the fire hazard property of sheath heater from understanding the fire mechanism through the experiment to get the measure for decreasing the occurrence of fire. For the analysis of the fire hazard property of the sheath heater, performed the test of temperature change and ignition temperature by using current product. On the result of test, the sheath heaters are the most dangerous appliance to arise fire. Water temperature controller attached to sheath heater is not sufficient to prevent overheating it. The sheath heater should have level switch of water and temperature controller for heater itself to shut off the power supply. Because the cause of fire by sheath heater is overheating itself in the situation of lack water.

When high temperature superconducting tapes is fabricated using the PIT (Powder In Tube) method, the length of HTS tapes is increased more than 500 ${\sim}$ 1,000 times of initial powder packed billet. On mechanical processing, heterogeneous properties between the ceramic superconducting core and Ag/Ag alloy sheath occur the non-uniformity deformation as like sausaging that deteriorate the critical current properties of HTS tapes. In this study, we investigated the workability of Bi-2223/Ag/Ag alloy sheath tapes fabricated by the PIT method involving a number of different mechanical processes, multi drawing and rolling. In order to obtain the high critical current density and high uniformity of Bi-2223/Ag sheath tapes, the influences of powder packing density, drawing die angle and rolling parameters were studied. We found that the roll diameter is an important variable in the rolling process, as critical current of tapes rolled using 250 mm rolls was higher than that using 150 mm rolls.

As we are industrialized lately, power capacity is increased in the city urban areas. So the application of underground transmission line is largely expended. In this paper, we analysis the induction voltage on the sheath of 1,200[$mm^2$] OF underground cable being used 154kV underground transmission line. If the current on the cable conductor is 300[A], circulation current is induced the maximum 100[A] on the cable sheath.

Length of most underground power cable in home is not so long. Therefore it is operated without transposition due to low unbalanced ratio. However, if cable length is long, line constant of each cable will be different. Different line constant can induce unbalanced voltage and current of sheath. Also it can induce several induced interference. This paper describes the effectiveness of transposition through sheath component analysis on transposition and untransposition of cable conductor. Especially sheath current and induced voltage are analyzed and compared in case of transposition and untransposition. EMTP is used for modeling and analysis.

Different twist pitches of multi filamentary BSCCO 2223 tapes using high resistivity sheath were fabricated to investigate the effect of twist pitches on the microstructure and critical current property. A conductor with a high resitstivity matrix is possible to allow larger twist pitch for reducing ac losses and reduce eddy current losses simultaneously. The $J_{ct}$ values of 10 mm and 5 mm twisted tapes drop faster than that of untwisted and 20 mm twisted tapes under increasing magneticfield, especially in low field regime (0 $\sim$ 0.03 T). It suggests that weak links in the former are more serious than in the latter, which is in accordance with the microstructure analysis.

The critical current of Bi-2223/Ag HTS wire could be improved by the second phase modification pre-treatment (SPMT). On the other hand, the pre-treatment conditions are possible to affect to the degradation of silver alloy sheath, such as brittleness. Chlorine was detected at the outer sheath of wire by Auger observation, we also have tried to search new pre-treatment conditions that do not affect the degradation of silver sheath but, improve the critical current of the wire.

Power system fault analysis is commonly based on well-known symmetrical component method, which describes power system elements by positive, negative and zero sequence impedance. The majority of fault in transmission lines is unbalanced fault, such as line-to-ground faults, so that both positive and zero sequence impedance is required for fault analysis. When unbalanced fault occurs, zero sequence current flows through earth and ground wires in overhead transmission systems and through cable sheaths and earth in underground transmission systems. Since zero sequence current distribution between cable sheath and earth is dependent on both sheath bondings and grounding configurations, care must be taken to calculate zero sequence impedance of underground cable transmission lines. In this paper, EMTP-based sequence impedance calculation method was described and applied to 345kV cable transmission systems. Calculation results showed that detailed circuit analysis is desirable to avoid possible errors of sequence impedance calculation resulted from various configuration of cable sheath bonding and grounding in underground cable transmission systems.
