Abstract

This paper presents experimental results on the safety of persons and protection of low-voltage equipments of the sub-station due to a single-phase ground fault in 22.9 kV-Y distribution system. In order to evaluate the hazard voltages and the stress voltage of the low-voltage(LV) equipment due to faults between high-voltage systems and earth based on the newly prescribed KS C IEC 60364 standard series, the verification tests in a 22.9[kV] neutral multiple grounding system were carried out. From the experimental results, we introduce serious problems causing some discomfort when applying KS C IEC 60364 standard series to the existing domestic distribution system and the effective protective measures against temporary overvoltages due to a ground fault in the common grounding which is combined the 22.9 kV-Y grounding and the customer's installation grounding are proposed. As a consequence, it was found that the equipotential bonding is an important prerequisite for the effectiveness of the protective measures for the safety of persons and LV equipment in the combined 22.9 kV-Y and low-voltage grounding system.

본 논문에는 22.9 kV-Y 배전계통의 1선 지락고장이 인체의 안전 및 저압설비의 보호에 대한 실험적 결과를 기술하였다. 새로이 제정된 KS C IEC 60364 규격군에 따른 고압 충전도체가 대지에 접촉되는 지락고장에 의한 위험전압과 저압기기의 스트레스전압을 평가하기 위해서 22.9[kV] 중성점 다중접지계통에 대한 실증실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과로부터 KS C IEC 60364 규격군을 기존의 국내배전계통에 적용할 때 부합되지 않는 중대한 문제점을 도출하였으며, 22.9 kV-Y 다중접지와 수용가설비접지를 공용하는 공통접지계통에서 발생하는 지락고장에 의한 일시적 과전압에 대한 효과적인 보호대책을 제시하였다. 결국 22.9 kV-Y계통과 저압설비를 공통접지로 하는 경우 인체와 저압설비의 안전을 위한 효과적인 보호대책의 구현에는 등전위본딩이 중요한 필수적 요건임이 밝혀졌다.
