누전으로 인한 전기화재나 감전사고와 같은 전기재해는 저항성 누전전류에 의해 발생하므로 전선로에서 저항성 누전전류의 측정은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 합성 누전전류로부터 저항성 누전전류를 산출할 수 있는 이론을 제시하였고 이것을 실제 회로로 구현하였다. Multiplier와 저역통과필터를 통과한 합성 누전전류신호는 저항성 누전전류의 크기에 해당하는 직류 전압신호로 출력된다 따라서 Multiplier와 R-C 필터를 이용하여 간편하게 저항성 누전전류를 구할 수 있었다. 그리고 누전실험을 통하여 저항성 누전전류와 용량성 누전 전류가 합쳐진 합성 누전전류에서 저항성 누전전류를 정확하게 산출하는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper is studied on a prevention system for electrical fire and electrical faults by using electrical temperature characteristic of PTC thermistor. The PTC thermistor has characteristic of positive resistivity temperature coefficient according to the temperature variation, which is construction of a regular square and cube demarcation with $BaTiO_3$ ceramics of positive temperature coefficient. Also PTC shows the phenomenon which is rapidly increased in the resistivity if the temperature is increased over Curie temperature point. This paper is proposed on a protective control system used with temperature sensor of PTC thermistor. The proposed prevention system will prevent electrical fires due to electric short circuit faults or overload faults. And the prevention system will solve the problems that circuit breakers to be commonly used at existing are happened frequently electrical fires and electrical disasters due to incapable operation, weak reliability and low speed response. Some experimental results of the proposed apparatus are confirmed to the validity of the analytical results.

국내 건축법에서는 화재의 확산을 방지하기 위해 방화구획을 설치하여 인명피해와 재산피해를 최소화 하고 있다. 따라서 방화구획 개구부의 방화문, 방화셔터 등 각종 배관 관통부 시스템의 화재저항 성능이 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 방화구획 중 넓은 면적에 사용되는 방화셔터를 각 종류별 내화성능실험을 통하여 방화셔터의 방화성능 확인과 더불어 실험시 방화셔터에서 발생하는 복사열의 측정을 통하여 화재가 확대될 수 있는 위험성을 예측하였다.

Purpose : This study aims to seek out the risk of low-temperature burns and fire. Method : Hot vests are connected by higher voltage than walking voltage. Results : Accordingly, the possibility of low-temperature burns and fire was proved high. It was also shown that hot vests with relatively lower resistance on heat rays reached a higher temperature as the same voltage was applied. Conclusion : There are some problems with hot vests because they do not have any safety devices like a thermostat or a timer to prevent temperature increasing rapidly. For the purpose of reducing the risk of low-temperature burns and fire, setting the standard of the minimum resistance temperature and regulating the use of heat rays with lower resistance are necessary.

This paper presents a new insulation resistance calculation technique to prevent electric shock and fire accidents due to the dielectric breakdown in the primary insulation section of the IT ground system. The solar power generation market is growing rapidly due to the recent expansion of renewable energy and energy storage systems, but as the insulation is destroyed and fire accidents frequently occur, a device for monitoring the insulation resistance state is indispensable to the IT grounding method. Compared to the conventional algorithm that use a method of multiplying a time constant to a fixed coefficient, the proposed insulation resistance calculation method has a fast response time and high accuracy over a wide insulation resistance range by applying a different coefficient according to the values of the insulation impedance. The proposed dynamic time constant based insulation resistance calculation technique reduces the response time by up to 39.29 seconds and improves the error rate by 20.11%, compared to the conventional method.

In this paper, we studied on the characteristics of RCD(Residual Current Device) case deteriorated by tracking, and compared the tracked samples between in the site of fire($S_1$) and in the reappearance experiment($E_1$). This experiment is applied to IEC Publ. 112 method. Electrical fire by tracking occurred after scintillation and dry-band generated. The insulation resistance between source terminals of RCD case was about 25.7Ω in $E_1$ and the resistance was about 58.6Ω in $S_1$.The exothermic peaks of $E_1$ appeared at $491.0^{\circ}C$ and $603.2^{\circ}C$. The exothermic peak at $603.2^{\circ}C$ was shown by tracking. And the exothermic peak of $S_1$ appeared at $593.1^{\circ}C$. In spectrum of $S_1$ and $E_1$, absorption peak didn't appear at near 1590 cm$^{-1}$ .

The safety of tunnels is quantified by quantitative risk assessment when planning the disaster prevention facilities of railway tunnels, and it is decided whether they are appropriate. The purpose of this study is to estimate the probability of the train stopping in the tunnels at train fire, which has a significant effect on the results of quantitative risk assessment for tunnel fires. For this purpose, a model was developed to calculate the coasting distance of the train considering the coefficient of train running resistance. The probability of stopping in case of train fire in the tunnel is predicted by the Monte Carlo simulation method with the coasting distance and the emergency braking distance as parameters of the tunnel lengths and slopes, train initial driving speeds. The kinetic equations for predicting the coasting distance were analyzed by reflecting the coefficient train running resistance of KTX II. In the case of KTX II trains, the coasting distance is reduced as the slope increases in a tunnel with an upward slope, but it is possible to continue driving without stopping in a slope downward. The probability of the train stopping in the case of train fire in tunnel decreases as the train speed increases and the slope of the tunnel decreases. If human error is not taken into account, the probability that a high-speed train traveling at a speed of 250 km/h or above will stop in a tunnel due to a fire is 0% when the slope of the tunnel is 0.5% or less, and the probability of stopping increases rapidly as the tunnel slope increases and the tunnel length increases.

As a material for preventing spalling of concrete, the effectiveness of PP fiber has already been confirmed. However, it is necessary to consider the maximum temperature that occurs during a fire, and to solve the mixing problem and the strength reduction problem that occur depending on the mixing amount. In this study, the fire resistance performance of tunnel segment linings according to the PP fiber content and air volume under the RABT fire scenario was investigated. As a result, no spalling or cross-sectional loss occurred in all test specimens, and when the PP fiber content was small, the maximum temperature was relatively high and the maximum temperature arrival time was also fast. On the other hand, no trend was found for the maximum temperature and arrival time according to the difference in air volume. In the internal temperature distribution results for the PP fiber mixing amount of 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 kg/m³, the results of 0.75 and 1.0 kg/m³ showed similar temperature distribution, and the results of 1.5 and 2.0 kg/m³ were similar. It was confirmed that the internal temperature distribution tends to decrease at the same depth when the amount of PP fiber mixed is large, and it was confirmed that a remarkable difference occurred from the results of 1.0 kg/m³ and 1.5 kg/m³ of PP fiber mixed amounts.

Smoke propagation for the Daegu Metro fire is reproduced by a reduced-scale model experiment. The three-story station building was modeled with 1/20-scale, and the tunnel connected to the platform was not completely modeled because of its length. To include the flow resistance the tunnel provides the mesh screens were used in the model. The fire scenario was selected based on the fire growth rate of the metro car seat where the fire initiated. The time when smoke arrived at each compartment in the station building was measured by thermocouples and visualization. Regarding fire ventilation, the air supply that has been accepted as conventional design in a subway metro building intensifies smoke spread. The results show that the whole building was filled with smoke in about 10 minutes in case of no ventilation.
