A high energy arcing fault event occurred in the medium-voltage (13.8 kV and 4.16 kV) metalclad switchgears in a nuclear power plant not only affecting switchgear but also connected equipment due to the arc energy. The high energy arcing fault also causes a fire that influences the safety function of the unit. Therefore, from the safety point of view, it is necessary to evaluate the influences of high energy arcing fault events on the safety functions of nuclear power plants. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate the characteristics of high energy arcing faults and propose a high energy arcing fault mitigation scheme for medium voltage networks in nuclear power plants.

Partial discharge diagnosis techniques using ultra high frequencies do not affect load movement, because there is no interruption of power. Consequently, these techniques are popular among the prevention diagnosis methods. For the first time, this measurement technique has been applied to the GIS, and has been tested by applying an extra high voltage switchboard. This particular technique makes it easy to measure in the live state, and is not affected by the noise generated by analyzing the causes of faults ? thereby making risk analysis possible. It is reported that the analysis data and the evaluation of the risk level are improved, especially for poor location, and that the measurement of Ultra high frequency (UHF) partial discharge of the real live wire in industrial switchgear is spectacular. Partial discharge diagnosis techniques by using the Ultra High Frequency sensor have been recently highlighted, and it is verified by applying them to the GIS. This has become one of the new and various power equipment techniques. Diagnosis using a UHF sensor is easy to measure, and waveform analysis is already standardized, due to numerous past case experiments. This technique is currently active in research and development, and commercialization is becoming a reality. Another aspect of this technique is that it can determine the occurrences and types of partial discharge, by the application diagnosis for live wire of ultra high voltage switchgear. Measured data by using the UHF partial discharge techniques for ultra high voltage switchgear was obtained from 200 places in Gumi, Yeosu, Taiwan and China's semiconductor plants, and also the partial discharge signals at 15 other places were found. It was confirmed that the partial discharge signal was destroyed by improving the work of junction bolt tightening check, and the cable head reinforcement insulation at 8 places with a possibility for preventing the interruption of service. Also, it was confirmed that the UHF partial discharge measurement techniques are also a prevention diagnosis method in actual industrial sites. The measured field data and the usage of the research for risk assessment techniques of the live wire status of power equipment make a valuable database for future improvements.

In this paper, we describe the implementation of a monitoring and diagnostic system for Gas Insulator Switchgear(GIS). This system monitors operation status of GIS and transmits data from GIS to host. With this system, a operator can monitor a operating condition and judge the aging of each device, and prevent the failure or breakdown in advance.

During the past 40 years of KIEE, thor hays exerted their best efforts in scientific and technical fields with a lot of beneficial results. To promote sharing their mutual activities and informations between the industrial and scholastic bodies, KIEE has organized a Technical Commitee in Switchgear to have the first meeting on this July 22 in accordance with the Regulations which has newly came in action by this June 5. This paper briefly describes their activities thereafter.

This work investigates the commutation characteristics of the current flowing through an electrical-contact-type switch to the semiconductor switch branch during the breaking operation of hybrid DC switchgear. A simple, reliable, low-cost natural commutation method is proposed, and the current commutation characteristics are analyzed in accordance with the conduction voltage drop of the semiconductor switch branch through experiments. A prototype 400 V/10 A class natural commutation type hybrid DC switchgear is set up. Its performance is verified, and its characteristics are analyzed.

본 논문에서는 전자파 측정기법을 이용하여 부분방전 발생 전·후에 검출된 신호를 분석하여 폐쇄 배전반의 이상 징후를 상시 감시할 수 있는 사고 예방진단기법을 제시하였다. 폐쇄 배전반의 정상 및 이상상태 판단을 위해 배전반 내부 및 외부에 헬리컬 안테나를 설치하여 이들 안테나에서 검출된 부분방전 발생 전·후의 신호를 주파수 스펙트럼 분석을 통해 크기를 비교 분석하였다. 본 논문에서는 부분방전 발생 전·후에 폐쇄 배전반 내부 및 외부에 설치된 안테나에서 검출된 신호들을 이용하여 정상상태 및 이상상태를 판별하는 방법을 적용하여 좋은 결과를 얻었으며, 향후 폐쇄 배전반의 절연 상태 감시 및 사고예방에 효율적으로 적용할 수 있으리라 기대된다.
