In the three-phase power system, when any one-phase or two-phases is open-phase, the unbalanced current flows and the single-phase power supplies to three-phase loads. Specially, motor coil and transformer coil receive over-current. As a result, great damage as well as electrical fire can occur to the power system. In order to improve these problems, this paper proposes that an open-phase detection device is designed by a new algorithm using electric potential difference between the resultant voltage of neutral point and ground, and a control circuit topology of open-phase protector is composed of highly efficient semiconductor devices. It improves response speed and reliability. The control algorithm circuit also operates the cut-off of a conventional residual current protective device (RCD) which flows an enforced leakage current to ground wire at open-phase accident. Furthermore, time delay circuit is added to prevent the incapable operation of open-phase protector about instantaneous open-phase not open-phase fault. The time delay circuit improves more reliability.

Induction motors connected with a three-phase AC system may malfunction due to reverse phase or open phase faults. Conventional overcurrent relays and overheating relays are used to prevent such accidents; however, their drawbacks include a low response speed and false operation. Therefore, in this study, a digital relay for the reverse-open phase was designed and fabricated. This relay can detect the reverse phase and open phase faults and send a trigger signal to the control circuit. The proposed relay was developed based on a microcontroller. The detection times of the reverse phase and open phase were verified as 320ms and 80ms, respectively. Compared with conventional relays that only protect the motor from one type of fault, the proposed relay can detect both, reverse phase and open phase faults. In addition, the fault detection, identification criterion, and trigger signal patterns can be modified by programming according to the requirements of users.

In case of using three-phase induction motor in three-phase power system, if he deficiency happens in phase among three-phase, the motor will drive in an open phase state. As to the motor, the continuing operation is possible then, but the phenomenon that the power supply stops happening by the result of the overload electricity order on the healthy phase of two phases with a damage and activating the circuit breaker. Consequently, in order to overcome this problem in treatise accordingly. I propose an uninterruptible power supply which is able to prevent that the over current on the health phase through the restoration that in case happening open phase on the power line when driving the motor. Also, it is possible to supply power consecutively without interruption of electric power and we proved the performance and reliability through an experiment.

In the three-phase power system using the three-phase load, when any one-phase is open-phase, the unbalanced current flows and the single-phase power supplied by power supply produces over-current. As a result, the enormous damage and electrical fire can be given to the power system. In order to improve these problems, this paper is proposed a new control circuit topology for open-phase protection using semiconductor devices. Therefore, the proposed open-phase protection device (OPPD) enhances the sensing speed and precision, and has the advantage of simple fitting in the three-phase distribution panel in the field, as it manufactures into small size and light weight. As a result, the proposed OPPD minimizes the electrical fire from open-phase, and contributes for the stable driving of the power system.

On January 30, 2012 an auxiliary component of Byron Unit 2 was tripped on bus under voltage. The cause of the event was the failure of the C-phase insulator track for the Unit 2 station auxiliary transformer(SAT) revenue metering transformer. In addition to this event, other events have occurred at other plants resulting in an open-phase condition.[1] Therefore, Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC) has requested that not only nuclear power plant(NPP) operating company but also its Design Certification(DC) applicant have to prepare open-phase detecting system in their operating plants and design document. In this paper, various open-phase conditions are simulated in NPP using Electromagnetic Transient Program(EMTP) and Atpdraw, and open-phase condition detecting system is proposed for Main Transformer(MT), Unit Auxiliary Transformer(UAT) and SAT connected power line in NPP.

태양광전원이 설치된 배전선로의 단선 등으로 결상사고가 발생하는 경우, 연계용변압기의 철심형태 및 결선 방법에 따라 여러 가지 문제점이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 즉, 단선사고 발생 시 태양광전원 인버터의 단독운전 방지기능에 따라 결상을 감지하여 발전을 정지해야 하지만, 결상을 인지하지 못하고 계속 발전하는 사례가 보고되고 있으며, 연계용 변압기의 역조류 현상으로 인해 결상된 상으로 전원을 공급하여 계통에 악영향을 주는 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 결상사고 보호계전기(Open Phase Relay, 47)는 태양광전원 연계용변압기의 결선방식과 철심형태에 따라 결상된 상에 전압이 유지될 수 있어서, 결상사고 검출이 어려워, 새로운 결상사고 검출 알고리즘이 요구되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 전류비교방식의 개념을 이용하여, 연계용변압기 1, 2차측의 전류와 위상을 비교하여 결상사고를 검출하는 새로운 개념의 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한, 전력계통 상용해석 프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 수배전반, 저압배전선로, 부하, 연계용변압기, 태양광전원으로 구성된 배전계통과 결상사고 검출 보호장치의 모델링을 수행하고, 이를 바탕으로 결상사고 검출 보호장치를 구현한다. 상기의 모델링과 결상사고 검출 알고리즘을 바탕으로 태양광전원 연계용 변압기의 결선방식과 철심구조에 따라 결상사고 검출 보호장치의 특성을 분석한 결과, 결상 시 연계용변압기의 동작 기울기와 1차측 전류 불평형률이 보호장치의 정정 값(30[%])을 초과함에 따라 결상사고가 정확하게 검출되어, 제안한 알고리즘이 결상사고 보호방식에 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a fault diagnosis method for an open-fault in inverter driving five-phase induction motor. The five-phase induction motor has a high output torque and small torque ripple in comparison to three-phase. The best advantage of the five-phase induction motor is fault diagnosis and tolerant control using redundancy of phases. This paper uses an inverter as a power converter for driving a five-phase induction motor. If a switch of inverter occurs to the open-fault, this problem is the influence on the output current and output torque. To solve this problem, there is need of an accurate diagnosis and fault switch distinction. Therefore, this paper propose a fault detection method of the open-fault switches for the fault diagnosis. First, analyzing the pattern for the open-circuit fault of one phase. next, analyzing the pattern for the open-circuit fault of each inverter switches. Through the pattern analysis, It defines the scope of each of the failure switch. Thereafter, By using an algorithm that proposes to perform a fault diagnosis method. The proposed algorithm is verified from the experiment with the 1.5 kW five-phase induction motor.
