The higher the short circuit currents, the faster the interruption takes place. For increasing the interrupting performance of the MCCB, it is important to design optimally the adjustable tripping device, the open /shut mechanism, and the arc quenching room in the MCCB. This paper is focused on understanding the interrupting performance, more specifically of the grid and the fix contact, based on the shape of the arc quenching room in the current MCCB.

본 논문은 가정에서 사용하는 중 저압용 차단기의 차단 능력을 향상시키기 위한 방법에 초점을 두었다. MCCB의 차단 능력은 MCCB내부 부품들의 재료나 형상 그리고 배열 등 여러 요소에의해 결정된다. 특히 본 논문에서는 MCCB 그리드의 형상을 변화하여 소호시간을 단축하는 방법을 제안하였다. 사고에 의해 차단기가 작동하게 되면 차단기 내부 접점에서 Arc가 발생하게 된다. 이때 발생된 Arc에의한 2차 사고를 방지하기위해, Arc를 빠른 시간에 소호시켜야한다. Arc가 발생하게 되면 Arc내부는 도체처럼 전류가 흐르게 되는데 이 전류에 의해 소호부의 그리드를 따라 자속이 형성된다. 그리드의 형상에 따라 Arc 기둥 주변에 불균형적인 자속이 유도되고 이 불균형한 자속에 의해 Arc 주변에는 불균형한 로렌츠힘이 발생하여 일정 방향으로 힘이 작용하게 된다. 이때 발생한 로렌츠힘 에의해 Arc 기둥은 그리드 방향으로 소호된다. 분석을 위해 유한요소법을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 사용하였고 그리드 형상 변화를 통해 일정방향으로 로렌츠힘이 변화 전보다 증가한 결과를 얻었다. 본 논문의 내용에 추가로 그리드 내부에서 자속의 이동을 효율적으로 전달하기위한 방법을 연구하면 더 큰 로렌츠힘을 얻어 소호시간을 단축시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Power distribution system requires the transformer with higher capacity than ever, but this ever, but this may be the cause of the increasing of short circuit current in contrast to conventional one when short-circuit accident is occurred. Therefore molded case circuit breaker improved in aspects of interrupting capacity of short circuit current in this system is needed. The arrangement and quality of the material of grids in arc quenching room are also designed optimally by the analysis of arc driving forces.

Aluminium titanate (Al₂TiO5) with an excellent thermal shock resistant and a low the expansion coefficient was obtained by solid solution with MgO, SiO₂, and ZrO₂ in the Al₂TiO5 lattice or in the grain boundary solution through electrofusion in an arc furnace. However, these materials have low mechanical strength due to the presence of microcracks developed by a large difference in thermal expansion coefficients along crystallographic axes. Pure Al₂TiO5 tends to decompose into α-Al₂O₃ and TiO₂-rutile in the temperature range of 750-1300℃ that rendered it apparently useless for industrial applications. Several thermal shock tests were performed: Long therm thermal annealing test at 1100℃ for 100h; and water quenching from 950 to room temperature (RT). Cyclic thermal expansion coefficients up to 1500℃ before and after decomposition tests was also measured using a dilatometer, changes in the microstructure, thermal expansion coefficients, Young's modulus and strengths were determined. The role of microcracks in relation to thermal shock resistance and thermal expansion coefficient is discussed.

In this study, we investigated surface characteristics of hydroxyapatite coated surface on nano/micro pore structured Ti-35Ta-xNb alloys. This paper was focus on morphology and corrosion resistance of Anodic oxidation. To prepare the samples, Ti-35Ta-xNb (x= 0, 10 wt. %) alloys were manufactured by arc melting and heat-treated for 12 h at $1050^{\circ}C$ in Ar atmosphere at $0^{\circ}C$ water quenching. Micro-pore structured surface was performed using anodization with a DC power supply at 280 V for 3 min, nanotube formed on Ti-35Ta-xNb alloys was performed using DC power supply at 30 V in 60 min at room temperature. Surface morphology and structure were examined by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.

In this study, we investigated electrochemically formed nanotube shape on ternary Ti-25Ta-xHf alloys with Hf contents. Ti-25Ta-xHf (x=0~15 wt.%) alloys were manufactured by vacuum arc-melting furnace. The obtained ingots were homogenized in an argon atmosphere at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 2h and then water quenching. The specimens were cut from ingots to 4 mm thickness and first ground and polished using SiC paper (grades from #100 to #2000). The anodization treatments on Ti-25Nb-xHf alloys were carried out at room temperature for experiments. The formation of nanotubular film was conducted by electrochemical method in mixed electrolytes with 1 M $H_3PO_4$ + 0.8 wt. % NaF at 30 V for 2 h. The morphologies of nanotube depended on the Hf content in Ti-25Ta-xHf ternary system.

In this study, we investigated morphology of nanotube and micropore on the Ti-25Nb-xHf alloys with Hf contents after anodization. Ti-25Nb-xHf ternary alloys contained from (0~15) wt.% Hf contents were manufactured by vacuum arc-melting furnace. The obtained ingots were homogenized in an argon atmosphere at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 12h and then water quenching. The specimens were cut from ingots to 3mm thickness and first ground and polished using SiC paper (grades from 100 to 2000). 2steps anodization treatments on Ti-25Nb-xHf alloys were carried out at room temperature for experiments. Micro-pore formation was performed in Ca+P mixed solution at 265V for 3min. After that, nanotube formation was in 1M $H_3PO_4$ electrolytes containing 0.8wt.% NaF solutionat 10V for 120min. Morphologies of micropore and nanotube depended on the Hf content in Ti-25Nb-xZr ternary system.
