Fire or electrical problem while DC electric traction vehicle operation caused by various reasons can lead to not only suspension of the operation, but also severe aftermath such as massive casualty. In this paper, fire analysis on DC electric traction vehicle caused by electrical breakdown on line breaker, which is in connection with the power supply, is presented. When the electric arc, the by-product of frequent line breaker operation, is not fully diminished, it leads to electrical breakdown and fire. Especially, electrical breakdown can be easily induced by the open-and-close operation of inner contractor inside line breaker, eventually followed by ground fault and generation of transient current. Electric arc is consequent on the ground fault and acts as possible ignition source, leading to fire. Also, during the repetitive operation of the line breaker, the contactor is separated each other and some copper powder is generated, and the copper powder provided breakdown path, resulting in fire.

This study aims to examine the risk of electrical fire in places where electric heat wires are used. In general, the use of electric heating wires is becoming more common and prevalent in a bid to prevent increasing damage caused by freezing and bursting in residential water pipes, factory pipes and irrigation pipes in vinyl greenhouse and a variety of heat wire products are available in market with legal safety requirements imposed on them. However, the widespread use of anti-freezing burst heat wire products has caused increasing incidents of fire, which often fail to be incorporated into statistics due to quick onsite extinguishing and insignificant damage although damage is gradually on the rise. Against this backdrop, this study aims to look into the possibility of ignition caused by electric heat wires and the mechanism of how it turns into catching fire through overheat and short circuit tests for anti-freezing burst electrical heat wires (hereinafter called the 'heat wire') and expects to serve as the basis for further observations and analyses on the cause of fire and the process of ignition in a scientific manner.

This paper presents the development of an electrical fire detection system using digital temperature and current detectors in order to sound for electrical fire in advance. As the demand for electricity is increasing and industrial facilities are getting more complex and larger in size, the losses of human life and property are on the increase by electrical fires. In order to prevent electrical fires, it is required to find out fire signatures, or electric signal of the overcurrent and overheating. Therefore, in this paper, developed is an electrical fire detection system based on the detection of signal for overcurrent and overheating to prevent electrical accidents in advance that happen in electrical wires. The developed system gives an alarm by computer monitor, speaker system and mobile phone before electrical fires occur and give severe damages to human beings and properties, and the system can be implemented and supplied for business and residental buildings at a low price. The usefulness and validity of the system, also, verified in this paper by case study and experiments.

In this paper, the new integrated crane monitoring system that complemented the point at issue for existing crane monitoring system is implemented. The Implementing monitoring system based on wireless communication system, consist of a measuring system of total load currents of main circuit breaker, a temperature and vibration measuring system with temperature sensors and vibration sensors for monitoring an oil and bearing of a main decelerator, a temperature measuring system with temperature sensors of a main motor bearing, and sensors for fire monitoring of an entire electrical space. The measured data from these sensors transmit main controller which is located in external location. Then the Integrating monitoring system is implemented and is performed the performance test to performing diagnosis of motors of a crane.

This paper describes a cause of fire accidents on power system fire DC electric traction vehicles. We investigated fire scene of power line for DC electric traction vehicles. From analysis results, the cause of fire on power line turned out line to ground fault between a feeder of electric power services(pantagraph) and DC electric traction vehicle roof. Fire accident of DC electric traction vehicles be assumed that electric sparks had been produced between the pantagraph and the power line conductor by repetitively making contact and separation, maybe if some material like branches get in between connecting rod it makes progress line to ground fault. ZnO arresters are widely used to protect DC electric traction vehicles against overvoltages caused by lightning or switching surges. However, the arresters are deteriorated by commercial overvoltages and/or lightning one. The deteriorated arresters could lead power failures, such as line to ground fault by a thermal runaway resulting from the increases in leakage current even in a nominal power system voltage. Finally, the power failures would be causative of the fire accident.

The purpose of this study is to prevent some accidents from the tragedy related to school accidents in elementary, middle and high schools. However, it is necessary to establish the program of school safety and change the view of the safety because safety measures are being taken after the accident, not prevention. There are some resolution to prevent school accidents by developing manuals, educating school safety for teachers, utilizing audio-video education and private organization, it is difficult for teachers to handle a fire alarm and electric safety inspection, and check condition of health, training experts through qualifying exams.

Deteriorated arresters could lead power failures, such as line to ground fault by a thermal runaway resulting from the increases in leakage current even in a nominal power system voltage. The power failures, such as line to ground fault would be causative of the fire accidents.

4차 산업 혁명에 맞춰 빠르게 발전하고 1990년대부터 등장하기 시작했던 '인텔리전트 빌딩'이 다시 주목을 받고 있다. 센서와 컴퓨터가 내장된 사물들이 인터넷으로 연결되어 각종 서비스를 제공하여 환경을 변화시키고 삶이 편해지고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 편리함을 추구하는 기존 기술 들은 대기업들이 주를 이루어 관리를 하게 되고 있고 유지 보수비용이 많이 들어 스마트 기기에 능숙하지 않은 부분도 있어 본 논문은 보다 기존의 IOT 기술보다 유지 보수비용의 절감과 손쉬운 접근방식을 제공한다. 본 논문인 '구글 어시스턴트를 이용한 스마트 홈 제어'는 집 전체를 제어하여 조명, 냉난방, 환기 등을 조절하고 무단 침입자를 감지하며 경고음을 알려주는 것이다. 예를 들어 집 주인이 외출을 하였는데 가스렌지의 불을 안 끄고 나왔거나 조명을 안 끄고 나왔는데 집을 다시 들어가기 어려운 상황일 때 핸드폰으로 버튼 하나만 누르면 제어가 된다. 본 논문의 목적은 집안의 화재나 전기 요금절감을 위하고 편리한 삶을 추구하고자 개발 되었다.

In this paper, we have developed a device to reduce the standby power consumption that is unnecessarily consumed in unused electrical appliances. The Doppler sensor is used to automatically power off and power off the outlet depending on whether or not a person is present near the outlet. The Doppler sensor uses a coaxial cable trap to design a transmitting antenna and emits a 10 GHz band RF signal and receives a reflected wave signal whose wavelength is reflected from the target object to the receiver to detect an object and recognize human approach. It automatically cuts off and restores standby power to prevent unnecessary power consumption, saving energy and developing a standby power automatic shutdown and recovery device that can prevent the risk of large fires caused by leakage current.
