The electrical separation joint as a filter circuit distributes the track circuit frequency. The electrical separation joint is classified into the interval where reinforcing bars are insulated and not insulated through the length of track circuit. In case of incorrectly setting up the length of electrical separation joint, the amplitude of current on the track circuit is not over standard current which is the standard of current on the track circuit and it effects on the close frequency on track circuit. Then, it makes an accident or makes a train not receive information for train control. In this paper, the electrical separation joint model is suggested and parameters are numerically calculated in the model. Moreover, the length of electrical separation joint is analyzed and is demonstrated by uisng Matlab and PSpice program.

With the increasing power demands, size of the fault current in electrical grids is steadily increasing, and it exceeds the breaking capacity of circuit breakers. To effectively cope with these problems, a high-speed interrupter was suggested. The high-speed interrupter provides fault current with a bypass to a fault current limiter in case of accidents and consequently, fault current can be restricted. In this study, behavioral characteristics of high-speed interrupter were analyzed by accident types occurred in a distribution system. When accidents occurred, a and b contact of the high-speed interrupter were turned-off and then, turned-on. Accordingly, fault current flowed to the circuit connected to a current limiting element, and the fault current limiter restricted fault current to within a half-cycle. Nevertheless, the behavior of the high-speed interrupter was slowed down by a switching surge. As a result, fault current was confirmed to be restricted not to within the anticipated half-cycle, but to after a half-cycle. Moreover, the behavioral characteristics of the high-speed interrupter changed not only by accident types, but by behaviors of R, S, and T phases. This was due to the errors in stroke lengths of the high-speed interrupters, which resulted in a slight time discrepancy among three interrupters. In addition, the switching behaviors of the b and a contact were confirmed not to have coincided due to the switching surge; b contact behaved first and a contact followed. because of this, accuracy of stroke length and switching surges through the solenoid suction increases may be necessary to resolve.

This study is to organize the manual for the safety accidents in campsite. For this, analyzing the types of safety accidents and reviewing the regulations of campsite. Through theoretical considerations, the problem was diagnosed and the elements of improvement were presented. Eventually, part of the Responsive and Preventative Behavior manuals were developed to organize 'Preparation Behavior Manual'. Especially, examples of safety accident prevention behavior manual were divided into: 1st, suffocation, 2nd, traffic accident, 3rd, fire, 4th, and electrical accident. "S.A.F.E.", An example, was created with the accident specific initials that were more frequently caused. Furthermore, it was emphasized that it is necessary to process of understood by the user. Subsequent studies recommended the study of cases, improvement of safety management indicators, and the specialization of campground manager and safety guard.

According to the statistics from the Ministry of labor, 70~80 people died by work-related electric shock accidents in the workplace and this number is about 10~20 times higher than those of the foreign countries such as Japan and the United Kingdom in frequencies and rates per 100,000. The electrocution deaths had decreased from several hundred in 1990s to 67 in 2002, since then there has been little change over the last 5 years. To reduce this number of the electrocution death, it is necessary to analyze the sources of the accidents and to implement the suitable measures for preventing the similar accidents from occurring. But there is not any consensus standard method or procedures for accident investigation yet. And the results solely depend on the ability of the investigator. Because of the demand of eliminating technical barrier for free trading, the IEC 60364 is adopted as a regulation for low voltage electrical installations in Korea. The facilities designed and constructed by IEC 60364 are increasing. The facilities by IEC 60364 have different features in comparison with the facilities by Korea eletro technical regulation, and these features combined with parameters of electric shock accident can greatly affect the consequences of the electric accidents. The accident analysis program for electric shock injuries in Terra Neutral(TN) and Terra Terra(TT) system was developed in this paper, which was based on KOSHA Electric Shock Analysis Program(ESAP).

In this paper, automotive safety and convenience service is proposed based on bluetooth and smart watch. The proposed service performs accident detection, kidnapping detection, kid-left-alone-in-car detection, parking location recording, and smart key function. Conventional smartphone services often fails to precisely recognize accident and kidnapping situations since smartphone is located on the dashboard or in the bag. On the contrary, smartwatch recognizes accident and kidnapping situations more precisely since it is always worn on the wrist with hearbeat monitoring. The proposed service recognise various situations around drives and passengers using acceleration sensor, GPS sensor, heartbeat sensor and bluetooth link status. It also performs accident notice, sound recording, and other necessary actions. It also performs door opening, door closing, hazard light flickering, and other necessary actions using OBD-II connection to the vehicle.

In this paper, we examined the faulted cable joint through the external form analysis, material analysis, experimental verification and it's cause diagnosis system. It was not observed the voild, sharp material from the external form analysis and material variation. From the experimental verification, the thickness decrease of an insulator decreased ac breakdown strength suddenly and the breakdown traces of the insulator that was damaged by knife displayed elliptic shape. Thus, the faulted cable is assumed to accident that become dielectric breakdown by the deterioration of insulation performance that can happen when work.

Since Korea has high accident rate for the electrical shock than other advanced countries, it causes very serious problems. In this paper, a new classification method for analyzing electricity accidents is proposed, which is based on the microscopic view while existing methods have been based at the macroscopic view point. Electrical accidents cases can be mainly divided by three cases, which are from live works, incompleteness of the grounding system and imperfectness of the safety education and public relations. New data format of electrical shocks are proposed in the environment of smart grids.
