This paper is studied on a protective control system for electrical fire and electrical faults due to over current or electric short circuit faults by using electrical thermal characteristics of PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor and current response characteristics of high sensitive reed switch. The PTC thermistor has characteristic of positive resistivity temperature coefficient according to the temperature variation, which is construction of a regular square and cube demarcation with BaTiO3_Ceramics of positive temperature coefficient. Also PTC thermistor shows the phenomenon which is rapidly increased in the resistivity if the temperature is increased over Curie temperature point, and reed switch, which is used for electrical fault current sensing devices, have a excellent characteristic of response velocity in degree of ${\mu}s{\sim}ms$ that sensing magnetic flux in proportion to dimension of line current. This paper is proposed on a protective control system use PTC thermistor and reed switch for sensor which is protected from electrical fire due to overload faults or electric short circuit faults. Some experimental results of the proposed electric safety control device are confirmed to the validity of the analytical results.

본 연구에서는 Sbrk 치환된 BaTiO$_3$에 그라파이트를 첨가하고 고상반응법을 이용하여 PTC 소자를 제조한 후, 저항-온도 특성을 조사하였으며 미세구조 분석을 통하여 그라파이트 첨가로 인한 PTC 특성 변화를 고찰하였다. 시편의 저항-온도 특성은 자체 제작한 저항-온도 특성 자동 측정 시스템을 사용하였으며 미세구조 고찰은 주사 전자 현미경을 사용하였다. 상온 저항값은 그라파이트를 1.5 mol% 첨가한 시편이 8.8Ω.cm로 가장 낮은 저항값을 나타내었고 저항-온도 계수는 그라파이트를 3.0 mol% 첨가한 시편이 22.4%/$^{\circ}C$로 가장 좋은 PTC 효과를 보였다. 미세구조 고찰 결과 그라파이트를 1.5 mol% 첨가한 경우 90$^{\circ}$ 및 180$^{\circ}$전계구조가 상당히 발달되었음을 볼수 있었다.

This dissertation is about the development of $BaTiO_3$-type PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor by composition method. A multilayer-type PTC samples were fabricated under optimal conditions after setting the experimental composition equation as ($Ba_{0.95-x}$S $r_{0.05}$$Ca_{x}$ )$TiO_3$-$0.01TiO_2$-$0.01SiO_2$-$\alpha$$MnCO_3$-$\beta$N $b_2$ $O_{5}$.) and their testing results were analyzed. The optimal sin-tering and cooling temperatures were 13$50^{\circ}C$ for two hours and $100^{\circ}C$/h for an hour, respectively; By composing Ca and Mn, dopants to lower the resistivity at room temperature, and Nb, a dopant to raise peak resistivity(Ca:5 mol%, Mn:0.08 mol%, Nb:0.18 mol%), appropriately, a PTC thermistor, having the characteristics of relatively low resistivity at room temperature and high peak resistivity and a good temperature coefficient, has been developed. And we find that it is possible of application for fire detection sensor.r.r.

PTC thermistor has been fabricated with as-received $BaTiO_{3}$ powder and its electrical properties were investigated. The resistivity of the PTC thermistor was measured at $20^{\circ}C$ intervals from $20^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$. The electrical characteristics of the PTC thermistor are determined by the ac complex impedance analysis. The average grain size measured with a scanning electron microscope increased from $3.8{\mu}m$ to $8.8{\mu}m$ with increasing sintering temperature between $1280^{\circ}C$ and $1400^{\circ}C$. The maximum resistivity jump was $4{\times}10^{5}$. The bulk resistivity of the thermistor sintered above $1340^{\circ}C$ decreased with increasing temperature of the measurement. The grain boundary resistance increased exponentially, the grain boundary capacitance decreased, and the built-in potential at the grain boundary increased with increasing temperature of the measurement. The charge densiy at the grain boundary increased with increasing temperature up to $110^{\circ}C$, which leveled off with further increase in measuring temperature.

후막 PTC를 제조하기 위하여 BaTiO3 주원료에 Sb2O3와 MnO2를 첨가한 PTC 페이 스트를 ZrO2와 BaTiO3 기판위에 인쇄한후 13$25^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 소결하였다. BaTiO3 기판 위에 형성된 PTC후막은 PTCR 특성을 나타내었다. 그러나 ZrO2기판위에 인쇄된 시편의 경 우 PTCR특성이 나타나지 않았다. 이것은 ZrO2기판과 인쇄된 PTC페이스트간의 열팽창계수 차이에 의한 thermal cracking 때문에 후막 PTC 형성이 불가능함을 보여주었다.

An anemometer employing the bulk PTC thermistor as the sensing element is investigated in this study. The numerical and experimental works are carried out to improve the sensitivity problem of the element by focusing fluid dynamics point of view. The typical shape of the sensing element has been used as a rectangular type, but this shape has a sensitivity problem because of flow separations on the sharp edge when the flow direction is different from that of the sensing element. In order to reduce the reading error, the installer has to be very careful about the flow direction. The reading error fluctuation by time as well as the sensitivity problem can be improved considerably through this study. It can be concluded that the small change of the sensor shape can improve the performance of the flow sensor.

The contact resistance and grain boundary potential barrier of ceramic $BaTiO_3$ PTCR were investigated. The electroless plated Ni, evaporated Al, and Ag paste were chosen as electrode materials of PTCR device for comparison analysis before and after heat treatment. The contact resistance of electrode were measured by electrometer (dc), digital multimeter (dc), and LCR meter (ac). In the case of Al electroded samples, the heat treatment and protective oxide layer had high resistance and effect on the stability of PTCR effect against contact resistance degradation, but the Ag-paste had comparably high contact resistance before heat treatment and decreased after heat treatment with safe. On the other hand, the samples with electroless plated Ni electrode had good properties of contact resistance against aging.
