  • The underground electricity distributions are significantly increased because of the urbanization accompanied by rural area developments. However, it has also been increased the safety accidents such as an electric shock around the handhole where the underground cables are connected to each other. This paper provides the base materials on the necessity to amend the installation regulation for securing the insulation and structure strength of handholds using the cast iron or fiberglass reinforced plastic. Article 137 in the judgement regulation for the Korea electro-technical regulation which is one of the installation regulations for handhole is amended and announced in 2017 by being based on the materials in this paper. It is expected to continually reduce the electric shock occurrence around handhole by considering the amended installation regulation.

  • In this paper, we studied risk assessments of electrical fire and shock of LED lightings for outdoor. We examined national regulations about the LED lighting for outdoor and analyzed the appearances and compositions of LED lightings. And, We experimented about water proof, line to line fault, line to line breakdowm, overvoltage, line to line leakage in overhead line or water of LED lighting. From experimental results, we know that there are risks of electrical fire and shock by abnormal conditions at the LED lighting. Therefore, the uses of protective devices and insulated type of converter are required for the electrical safety. We expect that the results of this study would be helpful for the improvement of regulations and standards for electrical safety and for the investigations of electrical accidents of LED lightings.

  • In this paper, we studied on the electrical safety evaluations of transformer insulation cover. In order to take preventive measures against an electric shock disaster in 22.9kV transformer installation, we put the insulation cover on a transformer charging parts. It needs to be designed so that the insulation covers have superior properties such as, arc-resistance, weather-resistance and heat-resistance, because they are used until the damage and destruction occur. To establish the protection cover to reduce the electrical shock, we analyzed damage mechanism and risk factors which happened by structural fault of an insulation cover in this paper. Also, based on the experimental results, we are planing to suggest new improved insulation cover models.

  • Electric shock due to the increased use of power, equipment accidents, electrical accidents, such as electric fire and also continues to grow. To prevent electric shock accidents, an experience education is more effective than indoctrination education. But an electric shock experience education system required a proper physical stimulation on human body to experience electric shock. In this study, we conducted a study to take advantage of the realistic haptic interface using a low-frequency type experiential learning and prevention education. Results of this study could be applied to an electric shock experience education system.

  • It is evaluated that electric shock risk in bath so that we made and designed a bathtub which is the same size in real public bath. And then, we did an experiment, provided of electric leakage in various conditions, so we measured how to form an electric potential and knew the electric potential is formed variously under exposed conductor in bath. Also, we made certain that electric shock risk is down if we insert an insulated pipe in bathtub pipe which is prevent from being formed the electric field sharply. The results show that the increased shock risk and safe distance are estimated by the bathtub of limited width and depth, and the voltage simulated on the basis of Flux 3D concept is compared with the measured value.

  • This paper has analyzed various aspects of electric shock accidents on th base of the published statistical data of the Ministry of labour between 1982 and 1990. The number of electric shock accidents has suddenly been increased in 1990, because of the booming business of the building construction. It was found that many temporal electric wirings and movable electric devices in the field of construction have bee na leading cause of the electric shock accidents. In order to reduce the rate of electric shock accidents the proper authorities will have to establish the safety measures, to educate workers to prevent the accidents and to supervise more carefully.

  • Unlike conventional transmission and distribution lines, catenary system for operating electric railway vehicles are composed of multi-conductor groups (feeder line, contact wire, messenger wire, protection wire) and are used for railway employees, public or passengers in the station yards. Electric shock hazards are exposed and electric shocks such as death or serious injury are occurring in electric railway vehicles, railway high-voltage distribution lines, and catenary system. In order to analyze the types of electric shock accidents on railway by systematic approach method, we modeled 'unsafe behavior classification' method using swiss cheese model. Based on this method, we derived the type of electric shock accidents about railway accidents during the last 5 years by analyzing the frequency of occurrence of human errors and unsafe acts, laws and regulations related to violations, and so on.

  • In this study, the interfacial reactions and electrical properties of the Sn-35(wt%)Pb-2(wt%)Ag/Cu BGA solder joints after the thermal shock test were investigated with three different kinds of the underfill used commercially. The microstructural evolutions of the solder joints were observed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the electrical resistance of the solder joints were evaluated with the numbers of thermal shock cycle using the four-prove method. The increase in the $Cu_{6}Sn_{5}$ IMC thickness led to the increase in the electrical resistance with increasing the numbers of the thermal shock cycle. The increase in the electrical resistance of the BGA packages with the underfill was smaller than that without the underfill. The silica contained underfill led to the higher electrical resistance.
