  • As the number of tall buildings is increasing, the high-speed lift is necessary in the modern world. Therefore, the further considerations for associated safety devices of lifts were required by the International Standards. In order to stop the moving of cage and keep it, the lifts have to be provided with means that can detect the unintended car movement. Therefore, the International Standard Safety Rules for the construction and installation of lifts had been revised. This paper describes the operation principles of the Rope Brake to fit the Unintended Car Movement Protection (UCMP) means required by the International Standards. This paper confirmed that the performance of these devices was suitable in the scope of the safety standards. This paper also analyzed that the shocks on working of these devices in a car would be dangerous to each passenger differently. Thus, this paper proposes a new design that the circuit diagram of the Unintended Car Movement Protection systems should be improved from the existing design to solve these internal shock problems. So, it is expected to protect passengers from the internal shocks by working of Rope Brake due to irrelevant factors.

  • This paper presents the motorcycle inspection standards of electrical system, frame & body, lights and speedometers. 187 real-world motorcycles are visually and mechanically inspected according to the developed inspection standards. The non-compliance rate of inspection standards of the lights is 23.7% and main causes are damage, tinting, painting and coloration of head-lamp, number plate lamp, front-rear position lights, stop lamp and direction indicators of motorcycles. Also, 28.4% of motorcycles are dropped from the luminous intensity inspection standard. Motorcycle electrical system cannot be visually inspected. The motorcycle inspections standards are improved reflecting 187 cases of real-world motorcycle inspection results.

  • This study is to prepare a reasonable basis for the improvement of the electrical safety management regulation. The standards in domestic and foreign countries for the application of new and renewable energy facilities and other devices are analyzed. Other regulations excluding the electrical safety fields and wide surveys are also carried out. Consequently, it is asked that the classification between normal and self electrical facilities should be clear and deregulation for small businesses has to be followed. This study is showed that standards investigates of receiving equipment below 600V above 75kW, eletrical safety manager employment of manufacturing industry and Mid-night electric power. And, it is showed that consignment permission and Consignment inspection periodic relaxation about wind development equipment below 1,000kW, consignment of Technical Development equipment for new and renewable energy below 250kW.

Research on the Comparison and Application of IEC60364 & NFPA70(NEC) according to WTO/TBT agreement (WTO/TBT 협정에 준한 전기설비의 IEC 60364와 NFPA70(NEC)의 비교적용에 관한 연구)

  • As global trade system transferred GATT into WTO, the harmonization of technological standards, certification, construction, testing is the trend of world. This drift is based on WTO / TBT agreement coming. In effect after 12th, April, 1979. For Korea, the distribution system has a strong resemblance to American system so that engineers are confused in adopting standards. IEC60364 and NEC are in part similar but unconvertible because IEC 60364 originated from Europe while NEC originated from USA. This thesis deals with the fundamental elements of electrical safety system with comparing IEC 60364 with NEC. It serves as a guide how to apply standards when engineers select electrical installations.
