자연 현상중의 하나인 낙뢰는 대기중에서 일어나는 뇌운과 보호대상 물체간의 방전현상으로 그 발생 빈도와 피해를 예측할 수 없으며, 국내에서 선박이 낙뢰로 인한 피해가 보고된 경우는 거의 없는 실정이지만 매년 정보화 통신장비 등의 보급확대와 더불어 낙뢰에 의한 피해가 증가할 것으로 판단되며 국내 대부분의 소형선박들은 낙뢰에 취약한 비금속 재질인 FRP선 또는 목선으로 건조되어 있어 낙뢰에 의한 사고에 취약한 현실이다. 본 연구는 근래에 무선설비 항해용구 등의 선박에 초소형의 집적회로를 사용하는 전자장비의 보급이 증대됨에 따라 낙뢰가 선박에 입사하였더라도 부적절한 피뢰설비 때문에 과도전압이 발생하여 제어 감시설비 등을 파손시키는 직 간접적인 피해를 감소시키기 위해서 비금속제 소형 선박에 적합한 피뢰시스템을 제시하여 낙뢰에 의한 피해의 최소화를 위한 대책 마련을 목적으로 수행하였다. KS, ISO, NFPA 및 각 국의 피뢰설비기준에서는 비금속제 선박의 피뢰설비 규정을 제시하고 있으나 국내 규정에서는 비금속제 소형선박에 관한 피뢰설비의 설치기준이 마련되어 있지 않은 실정이므로 이번 연구결과를 통해서 비금속제 소형 선박의 피뢰설비에 대한 합리적인 피뢰설비 설치기준을 설정하는 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

기술의 발달에 따라 무인표지에도 기존의 등명기 이외에도 Racon, Fog Detector, 전기폰, 기상 및 해양 관측장비, 휴대폰 중계기 등 전력을 필요로하는 다양한 장비가 설치되고 잇는 실정인데 반해, 현재의 무인표지 전력제어시스템은 기존의 관습대로 등대 내 협소한 구내에 축전지, 충방전 조절기, 전력선 등이 널 부러져 있는 상태로서 효과적인 전력관리와 능률적이고도 안전한 전력 관리를 위하여는 종합적 전력제어시스템 설치가 필요한 실정이다.. 이 연구에서는 현재 무인표지의 전력 시스템을 체계적이고도 안전한 방법으로 관리 할 수 있으며, 축전지 잔량표시, 저전압 충전시스템, 낙뢰피해 방지 및 원격 감시기능 등 기능적인 측면에서도 뛰어난 성능을 가질 수 있도록 무인등대용 표준전력제어장치를 연구 개발하였다.

In recently years, occurrences of lightning return strokes have been increased by global worming effect and intensity of lightning impulse voltage and current accompanied by lightning discharges has being strengthening. In Korea, 560 thousand lightning discharges happened in 200S. According to the increasing frequencies of lightning, human deaths and damages to the structure have been increased steadily. Electric fire caused by lightning return strokes due to the breakdown between power line and ground line from the ground potential rise on a process of the lightning impulse current through to the ground. The damages of lightning were occurring at same time in the neighboring areas of the lightning point. In order to protect from the lightning stroke, we made a suggestion to use protection devices and equipotential bonding at the dangerous areas. The analysis results of electric fires caused by lightning would be utilized to investigate and to find accurate fire cause in the fire scenes.

The improvement of electrical conductivity of carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) has been investigated by silver nano-particles coating for the purpose of lightning strike protection. Silver nano-particles in colloid were sprayed on the surface of carbon fibers, which were then impregnated by epoxy resin to form a CFRP specimen. Electrical resistance was measured by contact resistance meter which utilize the principles of the AC 4-terminal method. Electrical resistance value was then converted to electrical conductivity. The coated silver nano-particles on the carbon fibers were verified by SEM and EDS. The electrical conductivity was increased by three times of the ordinary CFRP.

This paper introduces the design details and test procedures of the lightning induced transient protection device for protecting the damage caused by indirect lightning strike on the computer mounted on the aircraft. Lightning induced surge voltage is bring a malfunction or damage to the aircraft electrical and electronic equipment, that is referred to indirect effects of lightning. In order to protect the electronic equipment on aircraft from the indirect effects of lightning, that is achieved by analyzing the effect on aircraft from lightning and protect design for each devices. In this paper, we introduce an indirect lightning strike level decisions, the protection circuit design method according to the chosen level through the RTCA DO-160G Section 22 category analysis and selection was performed in order to protect the damage caused by indirect lightning strikes in the protected equipment. In addition, we show the indirect lightning effects verification test performed to validate the designed protection circuits.

In this paper, we introduce the design consideration of the lightning induced transient protection circuit for the indirect lightning strike on the avionics equipment. The lightning induced surge voltage, which is so-called as indirect effects of lightning, may cause a functional failure or physical damage to the electrical and electronic equipment of aircraft. In order to protect the electrical and electronic equipment of aircraft from the indirect effects of lightning, we should analyze the effect of lightning strike on aircraft and consider applying protection design for each avionics device. However, lightning induced transient protection circuits can have unintended consequences because parasitic inductance elements are exist in PCB and TVS diodes. In this paper, we introduce the design method of the protection circuit considering the parasitic inductance of the protection circuit. In addition, we show the result of verification test performed to validate the protection circuits for indirect effects of lightning.

Free-standing structures that are especially high are more likely to receive brain attacks caused by lightning. Since special structures are generally part of national industrial structures, lightning strikes mostly cause socio-economic damage. Lightning protection facilities are installed to prevent such lightning damage, but in 2015, support cables on West Sea bridges were hit by lightning, causing a lot of economic damage. Accordingly, the design of a lightning protection system shall establish protective measures after analyzing the risk of debris falling onto the structure. In this thesis, lightning strikes are analyzed directly in relation to the modeling system that operates the actual information collection system for lightning strikes, depending on the location of the tall, free-standing structures, and practical lightning hazard information is provided by a meteorological station. In addition, we propose monitoring and applying a probability correction rate to the calculation of the lightning risk based on the number of lightning strikes directly reaching the ground in order to obtain an effective lightning risk assessment.

2005년 8월 서울기점 54km에 위치한 고속선 신호기계실에 낙뢰가 발생함에 따라 신호기계실 내부에 설치된 방호스위치 외부회로의 전원공급용 DC/DC 컨버터가 소손 되었다. 그 결과, 폐색구간 작업자 보호용 방호스위치, 역구내 작업자 보호용 방호스위치 계전기 낙하가 발생하여 운행중인 고속선 열차의 정지 속도 코드가 차량에 현시 되었다. 이후 장애 절차에 따라 장애 유지보수가 완료되었지만, 상행선 7개, 하행선 3개 열차가 17분${\sim}$58분간 운행 지연되었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 낙뢰 장애사고를 분석함으로서 신뢰할 수 있는 신호기계실 낙뢰 피해 방지 방안에 대해 분석하였다.

The electrical conductivity of carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP's) has been improved by indium-tin oxide (ITO) nano-particle coating on carbon fibers for the purpose of lightning strike protection of composite fuselage skins. ITO nano-particles were coated on the surface of carbon fibers by spraying the colloidal suspension with 10~40% ITO content. The electrical conductivity of the CFRP has been increased more than three times after ITO coating, comparable to or higher than that of B-787 composite fuselage skins with metal wire-meshes on the outer surface, without sacrificing the tensile property due to the existence of nano-particles at fiber-matrix interface. The damage area by the simulated lightning strike was also verified for different materials and conditions by using ultrasonic C-scan image. As the electrical conductivity of 40% nano-ITO coated sample surpass that of the B-787 sample, the damage area by lightning strike also appeared comparable to that of the materials currently employed for composite fuselage construction.
