A Divece for Reducing the Zero phaze Harmonics of Neutral Line of Power Facility

전기수용설비의 중성선 영상분고조파전류저감장치

Wide use of non-linear loads such as personal computers, monitors, laser printers, variable speed drives, UPS systems and other electronic equipment have led to harmonics becoming #1 issue in the electrical industry today. Commercial and Industrial building power distribution systems, designed for the old, linear-style loads especially when found in high densities. Some common power system problems include overloaded neutral conductors, overheated distribution transfOlmers, high neutral-to-ground voltage, poor power factor and distortion of the voltage waveform supplying these loads. The power quality problems, particularly high voltage distortion, have been known to cause equipment downtime due to malfunctions and component failure.

우리나라에서는 3 Θ 4w 배전방식을 채택하고 있는데 최근에는 컴퓨터 등 OA 기기 사용증가로 이때 발생하는 영상분 고조파에 의하여 중성선에 상전류 보다 큰 전류가 흐르게 된다. 고조파에 의한 중전선 과전류는 케이블, 변압기, 과열소손, 변압기, 발전기 출력저하, 역률저하, 전력손실 증가, ELB, MCCB 오동작, 유도장해, 중성선 대지전위 상승 등 심각한 장애를 일으키고 있다.
