Abstract

The only method used in the power stations in order to deliver generated electric power is 6 kV XLPE (or CV) single core cables. Among many kinds of accidents happening in the power stations, the outbreak of fire due to the deterioration of live cables causes enormous socioeconomic losses. From the installation of the cables, the management and diagnose should be thoroughly made. Even though it differs depending on the installations and usage conditions, the cross-sectional area of cables is in shortage. The excessive allowable temperature caused from the current causes the deterioration of cables. In order to prevent an unexpected breakdown of live cables, we have invented a device to monitor and diagnose the status of cables. We have installed our device in the Korea Western Power Co., Ltd.. In this paper, we present our research results in situ that we have obtained by measuring the temperature of sheath, changing with the surrounding circumstances, especially ambient temperatures. We also show our study results of characteristics for temperature of sheath surface and load current at the ambient temperatures of $40^{\circ}C-10^{\circ}C$.

발전소의 발전기에서 생산된 전기를 외부 단자로 공급하기 위하여 유일하게 사용되는 수단은 6 kV CV 단심 cable이다. 발전소에서 발생하는 여러 종류의 사고들 중에서 cable의 열화로 인한 화재 사고는 막대한 사회 경제적 손실을 초래한다. 설계부터 시공 및 관리를 더욱 철저히 해야 한다. 설치환경 및 사용 조건 부하량 등에 따라 차이가 있겠지만, 증설과정, 부적절한 설계 등으로 인하여 cable의 단면적이 부족할 경우가 발생하며, 운전 전류에 의하여 초과된 허용온도는 cable의 열화 상태를 초래한다. 우리는 cable의 사고를 체계적으로 감시 및 예방하기 위한 측정 장비를 개발, 한국서부발전 주식회사(Korea Western Power Co., Ltd.)에 설치하여 활선 cable을 진단하였다. 이 논문에서 우리는 cable이 설치되어 있는 주위환경 특히, 주위 온도에 따라 변동하는 cable의 피복표면의 온도를 측정하고 이에 따른 부하 전류를 검토한 결과를 제시한다. 실제 예로서 주위 온도가 $40^{\circ}C{\sim}10^{\circ}C$의 경우에 피복의 표면 온도와 부하전류의 특성을 연구한 결과를 제시한다.
