초록

단상 2선식 MCCB의 관련 기준을 분석하고, 내열 특성을 평가하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. KS C 8321은 IEC 60947-2의 규격을 부합화되어 관련 규정 대부분이 유사하다. NFPA는 사용자 중심의 안전 규정을 제시한 것으로 시험 또는 검사 등의 세부 사항은 없으나 안전에 직접 관련이 있는 규정이 구체적으로 명시되어 있다. KS C 8321은 시험과 검사에 대한 항목이 세부적으로 분류되어 있는 것을 알 수 있다. 그러나 IEC 60947-2와 IEEE C37.51의 경우 시험 및 검사 항목을 간소화하거나 일부 생략되어 있다. 내열 실험 장치를 이용하여 MCCB를 $180^{\circ}C$에서 6 hr 동안 열적 스트레스를 인가하였을 때 작동 손잡이의 변형이 확인되었고, 트립 상태로 이동한 것이 확인되었다. 또한 고정걸이의 대부분은 녹아서 기능이 상실되었다. $90^{\circ}C$에서 MCCB가 열적 스트레스를 받았을 때 특이 사항이 없었고, $105^{\circ}C$$120^{\circ}C$의 온도에서는 고정걸이가 일부 변형되었다. $150^{\circ}C$에서는 고정걸이의 변형 및 명판의 변색 등을 확인할 수 있었다. MCCB의 내부 분석에서 트립바가 녹아서 없어진 것을 알 수 있었고, 상하 가동편은 상부로 이동한 것이 확인되었다. 내전압 6 kV를 60 s 동안 5회 인가한 실험에서 모든 항목이 안전하였다. 또한 절연저항계로 직류 500 V를 인가한 절연 성능 평가 역시 양호하였다.

This study obtained the following results by analyzing the standards related to a $1{\phi}$ 2W MCCB and evaluating its heat resistance characteristics. Since KS C 8321 corresponds to IEC 60947-2 standards, most of the related regulations are similar. The NFPA, which presents the user oriented safety regulations, contains no details about tests or inspections, etc., but it does specify in detail the regulations directly related to safety. It can be seen that KS C 8321 classifies in detail the items about tests and inspections. However, IEC 60947-2 and IEEE C37.51 simplified the test and inspection items or omitted some of them. When applying thermal stress to an MCCB for 6 hours at $180^{\circ}C$ using a heat resistant experimental device, it was found that the actuator lever was transformed and moved in the tripped state. In addition, most of the fixing hanger was melted down, losing their function. When applying thermal stress to the MCCB at $90^{\circ}C$, it showed nothing peculiar, but the fixing hanger was partly deformed at $105^{\circ}C$ and $120^{\circ}C$. It was found that the fixing hanger was deformed and the name plate was discolored at $150^{\circ}C$. It can be seen from the analysis of the internals of the MCCB that the trip bar has been melted away and that the up and down operator has moved up. The experiment performed by applying a withstanding voltage of 6 kV for 60 s showed that all items remained intact. In addition, the evaluation of the insulation performance performed by applying DC 500 V using an insulation-resistance tester showed good insulation performance.
