전력용 개폐장치인 진공차단기의 차단부가 송배전 시스템에 30 [kA] 정도의 커다란 사고전류가 흐르는 것을 방지하기 위하여 동작될 때 차단부 내부 전극 사이에 25,000 [K] 이상의 아크 플라즈마가 발생하게 된다. 두 전극 사이에 발생된 아크 플라즈마는 약 10 ms~20 ms 동안 지속되다가 교류전원의 전류영점 부근에서 회복된 절연성능으로 인하여 자연스럽게 소멸되지만, 대전류 구간동안 아크 플라즈마의 집중 현상 등에 의하여 전극의 심각한 손상 등이 발생되면 절연성능이 요구된 만큼 회복되지 못하여 사고전류를 차단하지 못하며 시스템에 연결된 기기들에게 심각한 손상을 입히고 정전사고를 일으킨다. 본 연구에서는 전자계-열유동 연성해석기법을 이용한 축자계 진공차단부에서 발생하는 아크 플라즈마의 3차원 수치해석을 통하여 전극의 심각한 손상을 입히는 아크플라즈마의 집중 현상에 관한 축자계의 영향을 고찰하고자 한다. 수치해석을 위한 아크 영역은 양극과 음극의 직경과 같은 직경의 원기둥으로 가정하였고, 전자계 해석으로부터 얻어진 로렌츠 힘과 줄열을 열유동 해석을 위한 Navier-Stokes 방정식의 파라미터로 입력하여 해석을 수행함으로써 전자계와 유체역학적인 영역을 동시에 연계한 순차적 일방향 연성해석 기법을 적용하였다. 컵형 축자계 진공차단부 내 아크영역에서의 로렌츠 힘의 특성과 온도분포에 대하여 수치해석을 수행하였고, 크기가 다른 두 로렌츠 힘에 의하여 양극표면으로 집중되는 온도분포의 크기를 비교함으로써 진공아크 플라즈마의 집중현상에 영향을 미치는 주요 요소를 규명할 수 있었다.

This paper deals with the distribution characteristics of the current density and axial magnetic flux density for each slits made on the contact electrode in the vacuum interrupter with axial magnetic field type using 3-dimension finite element analysis. It has been known that the presence of an axial magnetic field parallel to the current flow in the arc plasma can increase the high current breaking capacity of vacuum interrupter by carrying out the arc plasma from constricted mode to diffusion mode. The axial magnetic field is created of itself by current flow in the segments of coil electrode behind the contact electrode. The analyzed results show that if the slits are made in the contact electrode, they can increase the current density and axial magnetic flux density in the contact electrode surface and at the gap distance, which is due to decrease the effect of eddy currents flowing in the contact electrode. The phase shift due to eddy currents, defined 3s time difference between the maximum value of current and axial magnetic field, is decreased still more by increasing the number of slits made in the contact electrode at the center point of gap distance. These results demonstrate that 3-dimension finite element analysis has a great deal of merits in the development and evaluation of new electrode at the design of vacuum interrupter.

In 2005, the imports of titanium metals was about 22.8 million US$(7,700 tons) in Korea. New scrap produced was estimated to be 359 tons and the exports were about 352 tons. Generally scrap is recylced into titanium ingot either with or without virgin metal using traditional vacuum-arc-melting and cold hearth melting. In Korea, there is no titanium ingot producers(recyclers). In this paper, the brief summary of major titanium melting technology, such as vacuum arc remelting(VAR), electron beam melting(EBM), plasma arc melting(PAM) is given and discussed. In view of titanium market situation of Korea, the technological development of ingot production from scrap is big problem to be solved in order to realize extensive cost reduction for titanium products.

In this paper, the a-Diamond films were synthesized using filtered vacuum arc source (FVAS), FVAS was composed of a torus structure with bending angle of 60 degree. The radius of torus was 266 mm, the radius of plasma duct was 80 mm and the total length was 600 mm. The magnet parts were composed of one permanent magnet and five solenoid magnets. The plasma duct was electrically isolated from the ground so that a bias voltage could be applied. The baffles inside plasma duct were installed in order to prevent the recoil effect of macro-particles. Cathode was made of graphite with 80 mm in diameter. The effects of solenoid magnet on plasma extraction were investigated by computer simulation and experiment using Taguchi's methode. The source and extraction magnet affected the arc stabilization. The extraction beam current was maximized with low value of the source magnet current and high value of the filtering magnet current. The beam current density was 3.2 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and average deposition rate was 5 $\AA$/sec when the currents of arc discharge, source, extraction, bending, deflection and outlet magnet were 30 A, 1 A, 3 A, 5 A, 5 A, and 5 A, respectively. The beam current density and the efficiency of beam transportation were increased with the positive bias voltage of the plasma duct.

Arc phenomena occur in the air, must be more diverse than vacuum and SF6. An air arc interruption method has been used in low rated voltage circuit breakers such as ACB, MCCB and MCB. Most of them have the arc chamber composed of arc chutes and lateral walls that made of many kinds of materials. Therefore, the criterion of material selection is necessary for breaking capacity improvement. So, we selected some contact and lateral wall materials, and carried out short circuit tests. Especially, some parameters of arc plasma properties were very different each polymeric wall material.

DC Arc Plasmatron을 이용하여 대기압에서 ZnO 박막을 형성하였다. Zinc acetyl acetonate, diethylzinc, zinc power들을 precursor로 사용하여 박막을 형성하였다. 100 nm/min에 달하는 박막 형성 속도가 관측되었다. 기판의 온도와 압력, 플라즈마트론의 파워 등에 따라 박막은 amorphous와 poly-crystal 상을 나타내었다. XRD, SEM, XPS 등을 이용하여 박막의 특성을 조사하였고, 박막의 전기전도도를 증가시키기 위하여 수소분위기에서의 annealing 효과를 조사하였다.
