원자력발전소의 방화지역에서 화재가 발생할 경우 케이블의 화재리스크는 온도, 열속, 화염 등 열적 특성에 의해 평가된다. 원전의 안전정지 기능에 사용되는 각종 케이블은 설계관리 및 성능분석을 위해 화재실증실험으로 열적 특성을 실측하여야 하지만 다양한 화재시나리오에 대한 실험 조건 확보와 실험 비용 등 제약이 따른다. 이에 따라 화재모델 FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator)의 최신버전에 포함된 THIEF (Thermally-Induced Electrical Failure) 모델을 이용하여 국내 원전의 안전정지 케이블에 대한 화재모델링 분석을 수행하였다. 이 연구에서는 케이블이 설치된 형태에 따라 일정 열속에 대한 자켓 온도와 경계조건에 대한 온도분포를 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과 THIEF 모델은 원전 방화지역의 화재에서 안전정지 케이블의 내부온도를 예측할 수 있는 화재모델로 사용가능한 것으로 확인되었다.

Recently, there have been frequent occurrences of bridge fires. Fires in cable-supported bridges can damage and brake cables due to high temperatures. In this study, fire scenarios that can occur on cable-supported bridges were set up. In addition, based on the results of vehicle fire tests, a fire intensity model was proposed and cable heat transfer analyses were performed on a target bridge. The analyses results demonstrated that temperature rises were identified on cables with a smaller cross-sectional area. Furthermore, vehicles other than tankers did not exceed the fire resistance criteria. When the tanker fire occurred on a bridge shoulder, the minimum diameter cable exceeded the fire resistance criteria; the height of the cable exceeding the fire resistance criteria was approximately 14 m from the surface. Therefore, the necessity of countermeasures and reinforcements of fire resistance was established. The results of this study confirmed that indirect evaluation of the temperature changes of bridge cables under fire is possible, and it was deemed necessary to further study the heat transfer analysis considering wind effects and the serviceability of the bridge when the cable temperature rises due to fire.

The fire event occurred in fire proof zone often causes serious electrical problems such as shorts, ground faults, or open circuits in nuclear power plants. These would be directed to the loss of safe shutdown capabilities performed by safety related systems and equipments. The fire event can treat the basic design principle that safety systems should keep their functions with redundancy and independency. In case of a cable fire, operators can not perform their mission properly and can misjudge the situation because of spurious operation, wrong indication or instrument. These would deteriorate the plant capabilities of safety shutdown and make disastrous conditions. In this paper, investigation and cause analysis of cable fire in Nuclear Power Plant, we described the cable fire temperature and functional failure criteria and the cable functional failure temperature evaluation by exposed fire is studied.

Purpose: Underground common duct fires are steadily occurring, and the proportion of property damage is particularly large among property and human casualties caused by fires. Especially, cable fires that occur in common areas can spread vertically quickly and pose a great risk. This paper aims to scientifically analyze the nature of the fire by reproducing the fire through experiments. Method: To analyze the characteristics of cable fires in underground common duct, heat release rate and temperature changes were measured through Room-corner (ISO 9705) test, and the vertical and horizontal propagation of cable fires was quantitatively compared and analyzed. Result: The Room Corner Test (ISO 9705) was used to compare the temperature changes at each data logger point. The results showed that the time it took for the fire to reach the ignition temperature in the horizontal and vertical directions from the center point of the first-tier cable was 589 seconds and 536 seconds, respectively, which means that the vertical fire propagation is 53 seconds faster than the horizontal propagation. This proves that the vertical propagation of fire is relatively faster than the horizontal propagation. The horizontal propagation speed of the fire was also compared for each floor cable tray. The results showed that the third-tier cable propagated at 3.4 times the speed of the second-tier cable, and the second-tier cable propagated at 1.5 times the speed of the first-tier cable. This means that the higher the cable is located, the faster the fire spreads and the larger the fire becomes. Conclusion: This study identified the risks of cable fires and analyzed the risks of vertical fire propagation during cable fires based on the results of the Room Corner Test. Studies to prevent the spread of fire and fire response policies to prevent vertical fire propagation are required. The results of this study are expected to be used to assess the fire risk of common areas and other fires.

본 논문에서는 원자력발전소의 스위치기어실 화재로 인한 케이블 손상시간과 케이블 온도를 평가하기 위해 화재모델링 입력모수 불확실성 분석을 수행하였다. 화재모델링은 FDS 5.5를 사용하였으며 입력모수 샘플링은 Wilks 식에 따라 93회를 수행하였다. 단순히 입력모수 평균 값을 사용한 화재모델링 분석결과는 화재모델링 불확실성 분석결과보다, 케이블 손상시간은 최대 1.6배 늦게, 케이블 온도는 최대 0.45배 낮게 평가될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

원자력 발전소에 사용되는 케이블은 화재발생시 화재전파를 억제하기 위해 일정수준의 화염시험을 만족한 것을 사용하도록 규정되어 있다. 이러한 케이블 화염시험 기준은 나라마다 약간씩 차이가 있는데 본 논문에서는 국내와 미국, 프랑스, 캐나다의 원자력 발전소 케이블 화염시험 기준의 국가별 차이점을 비교 분석 하였다. 비교분석결과 각 나라의 케이블 화염시험 코드는 세부 항목별로 약간씩 차이가 있으나 전체적으로 모든 코드가 동등한 수준의 기준을 갖고 있는 것으로 분석 되었다. 따라서 어느 하나의 코드를 만족하는 전기케이블은 다른 코드의 요구 사항을 만족하는 것으로 볼 수 있다.

Manifold physical properties of PASCON cable trough were evaluated, and its suitability of domestic test for flammability of plastic materials was examined. Particularly, suitability of PASCON material was investigated through study on the legal propriety of PASCON cable trough used for highspeed rail line and on a fire safety. As results, domestic test for flammability of PASCON cable trough material(KS M3015) was similar to UL 94 flammability testing and from the test outstanding capability of PASCON cable trough material was proved. Besides, possibility of fire enlargement would be very low in case of fire in PASCON cable trough installed around train express. Also, fire safety of PASCON cable trough was shown to be credible.
