Several electrical loads such as inrush current, normal operation arcing and non-sinusoidal loads have normal current waveforms similar to arc waveforms. To detect arcs in such loads, therefore, it is necessary to analyze difference between current waveforms with or without arcs. In this paper, using apparatuses of arc generation in UL 1699, arcs are generated in these loads and, then, arc current waveforms are investigated in both the time and the frequency domains to find arc characteristics. This investigation shows that arc current signals have shoulders at some zero current points in the time domain and increment of spectrum magnitude in all over frequency domain. It also shows that the arc characteristics at normal operation arcing and non-sinusoidal loads are detected more easily in the frequency domain than in the time domain. This investigated arc characteristics are expected to be utilized as the basis of development of arc-fault circuit interrupters.

차단기, 개폐기, 배전반과 같은 전력기기에 대한 성능시험시, 전압과 전류, 제어신호를 측정하고, 필요한 경우 고속카메라를 이용해 시험장면을 촬영한 다음, 이들을 종합적으로 분석하여 시험결과를 판정한다. 이때, 대부분 개별 시스템으로 전압-전류 시험파형과 시험영상을 측정하고 분석하기 때문에, 시간 동기화가 불가능하여 시험현상이나 시료동작특성 분석에 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서 개별 시스템으로 측정한 신호를 동기 시켜 동시에 분석할 수 있는 프로그램이 있다면, 시험결과 판정뿐만 아니라 시험 중에 발생하는 전기적 과도현상이나 시료의 동작특성분석에 많은 도움이 될 것이다. 이러한 목적을 위해, PT&T에서는 측정시스템과 고속카메라를 이용하여 측정한 전압-전류 시험파형과 시험영상을 동기 시켜 동시에 분석할 수 있는 프로그램인 Dual Viewer를 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 Dual Viewer에 대한 기능과 특징에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

Nonlinear electronic loads used at office buildings distort the voltage and current waveform that cause the overheating of transformer losses, ELB(Electrical Leakage Breaker) tripping, and so on. This paper analyzed waveform distortion characteristics at several once buildings by comparing with magnitude of voltage and current harmonics, crest factor of voltage and current, phase voltage and current unbalance. As a consequence, severe current waveform distortion in phase and neutral line by harmonics and high current unbalance rates by unbalanced using of single loads among the three phases are investigated. The results of the study can be used in making decisions regarding reasonable and economical operating of loads at office buildings.

전기화재의 원인인 아크 신호는 전류 돌입형, 비선형 및 전류 단속형 부하들의 정상상태와 유사한 전류파형을 갖는다. 이러한 부하들에서 아크를 정확하게 검출하기 위해서는 아크 유무를 정확히 판단 할 수 있는 시스템이 필요하며 이러한 시스템에서 아크검출을 정확히 하는 필터가 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 UL1699의 직렬 아크 발생장치로 아크를 발생시키고 시간 및 주파수 영역에서 아크 전류파형을 분석하였다. 분석결과 아크전류파형은 시간영역에서는 영점전류의 처짐 현상(shoulder)이 발생하고 주파수영역에서는 60Hz의 고조파 성분을 제외한 전대역의 주파수에 걸쳐서 스펙트럼이 증가하였다. 본 논문에서 제시된 아크 검출용 필터는 이러한 특징들 중 주파수 영역의 특징을 검출한다.

This paper presents the results of spectral analysis about waveforms and leakage current waveforms on contaminated silicon insulators under various environment conditions.(salt fog, clean fog, rain). The larger the leakage current during 200ms, the higher the power spectrum at 60Hz. If contaminated insulators suffers from high salt density fog, the leakage current occurs with high crest value intermittently, results in the low spectrum. Analysis of leakage current data showed that this electrical activity was characterized by transient arcing behavior contaminants are deposited on the insulator surface during salt fog tests. This provides a path for the leakage current to flow along the surface of the insulator. It is important to have an indication of the pollution accumulation in order to evaluate the test performance of a particular insulator. If the drop in surface resistivity is severe enough, then the leakage current may escalate into service interrupting flashover that degrade power quality.

This paper describes an early detection for indication of electric accident using current waveform which is measured in electric equipments consisted incandescent lamps. At first, it analyzes characteristics of current monitor in resistive electric circuit. In second, the electric equipment is consisted of incandescent lamps. And the electric accident is simulation of tracking according to KS C IEC(Korea Standard C International Electrostatic Commission) 60112 at some part of the electric equipment. The indication of the electrical accident is detected to analyzing current waveform measured by current monitor. As the tracking breakdown, electric accident, processes, as current pulse is bigger and ratio of appearance also is increased irrespective of amount of load.

A simply prepared graphite, pencil-type working electrode was utilized to monitor fenitrothion concentrations, using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave (SW) stripping voltammetry methods. The optimum conditions for analysis were sought. A very low detection limit was obtained compared to that obtained when other common voltammetry methods are used. The optimal parameters of the pencil-type electrode were found to be as follows: a pH of 3.7, a frequency of 500 Hz, an SW amplitude of 0.1 V, an increment potential of 0.005 V, an initial potential of -0.9V, and a deposition time of 500 sec. The analytical detection limit was determined to be 6.0 ngL-1 (2.16410-11 molL-1) fenitrothion at SW anodic and CV, and the relative standard deviation at the fenitrothion concentration of SW anodic 10 ugL-1 was 0.30% (n = 15) under the optimum conditions. Analysis was directly conducted through in-vivo real-time assay.

Lightning can deliver large amounts of energy to the aircraft in a short period of time, resulting in catastrophic consequence. In particular, lightning strikes accompanied by high temperature heat and current can damage aircraft surface and internal electronic equipment, seriously affecting flight safety. Lightning experiments to analyze this effect use a Component A waveform with a maximum current of 200 kA as specified in SAE ARP 5412B. However, the actual lightning occurs mostly below 35kA and lightning indirect tests are conducted by reducing waveforms to prevent damage to internal electronic equipment. In this study, we examine previous methods to plot the Component A reduced waveform and identify their limitations. We then propose a new method to plot the reduced waveform based on adjusting the correction factor of the aircraft lightning Component A waveform. Finally, the electromagnetic analysis software EMA3D was used to compare the internal induced current size reduction ratio of the internal cable harness of the EC-155B helicopter.

3상 4선식의 빌딩전기설비에서 개인용 컴퓨터, 프린터, 팩스 및 각종 시험설비 둥의 비선형 전자부하로 인해 전압 및 전류파형을 왜곡시킨다. 이러한 파형 왜곡은 고조파로 불리고, 중성선 과열 및 변압기 손실을 유발시킨다. 본 논문에서는 대형 빌딩전기설비의 전압 및 전류 고조파 크기, 전압 및 전류 불평형 등의 고조파 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과 고조파에 의한 상및 중성선에서의 심각한 파형 왜곡 문제와 삼상에서의 단상부하의 부적절한 분배로 인한 전류불평형이 심한 빌딩이 조사되었다. 따라서 빌딩전기설비에서 고조파로 인한 피해를 줄이기 위해 우선적으로 단상부하의 적절한 분배가 필요할 것이다.
