In this paper, we analyzed the frequency spectrum of radiated electromagnetic pulses generated by series arc- and corona- discharges as a basic study to develop an on-line diagnostic technique for power facilities installed inside closed-switchboards. To simulate series arc and corona discharges, five types of electrode system which consists of needle and plane electrodes were arranged. The experiment was carried out in an electromagnetic shielding room, and the measurement system consists of an ultra log antenna and an EMI receiver. From the experimental results, the frequency spectrum exists in ranges from 30 MHz to 2 GHz for a series arc discharge and 30 MHz to 1.2 GHz depending on defects for a corona discharge. The peak frequency of the series arc- and corona- discharges were 100 MHz to 160 MHz and 40 MHz to 80 MHz, respectively.

In this paper, we analyzed the frequency spectrum of radiated electromagnetic waves generated by series arc- and corona- discharges as a basic study to develop an online diagnostic technique for power facilities installed inside switchboards. To simulate corona and series arc discharges, an arc generator specified in UL1699 and a corona generator were fabricated. The experiment was carried out in an electromagnetic shielding room, and the measurement system consists of an Ultra Log Antenna and an EMI Test Receiver. The frequency spectrum exists in ranges from 30 to 500 [MHz] for series arc discharge and 30 [MHz] to 2 [GHz] depending on defects for corona discharge. The peak frequency of series arc discharge and corona were 40 [MHz], 80 [MHz] and 35 [MHz]~160 [MHz], respectively.

In this paper, we analyzed the frequency spectrum of electromagnetic waves which is generated by series arc discharges to develop a condition monitoring technique in a closed-distribution board. We fabricated an arc generator specified in UL1699 to simulate series arc discharge. The experiment was carried out in an electromagnetic shielding room, and the measurement system consists of a Ultra Log Antenna and a EMI Test Receiver. The results showed that the frequency spectrum during series arc discharges was distributed in ranges of 30~500 [MHz], and the peak values were existed at 40 [Mhz] and 80 [MHz].

This paper dealt with the frequency component analysis of acoustic signals produced by corona and series-arc discharges as a diagnostic technique for closed-switchboards. Corona and series-arc discharge were simulated by a needle-plane electrode and an arc generator specified in UL1699, respectively. Acoustic signal was detected by a wideband acoustic sensor with a frequency bandwidth of 4 Hz~100 kHz (-3 dB). We analyzed frequency spectrums of the acoustic signals detected in various discharge conditions. The results showed that acoustic signals mainly exist in ranges from 30 kHz to 60 kHz. From the experimental results, an acoustic detection system which consists of a constant current power supply (CCP), a low noise amplifier (LNA) and a band pass filter was designed and fabricated. The CCP separates the signal component from the DC source of acoustic sensor, and the LNA has a gain of 40 dB in ranges of 280 Hz~320 kHz. The high and the low cut-off frequency are 30 kHz and 60 kHz, respectively. We could detect corona and series-arc discharges without any interference by the acoustic detection system, and the best frequency is considered in ranges of 30 kHz~60 kHz.

This paper dealt with the detection algorithm of series arcing, which is a cause of electric fires in low-voltage wiring systems. To find the distinguished electrical features of series arc, we simulated series arcing by the arc generator specified in UL1699. An electric heater, an inverter-controlled vacuum cleaner, and a phase-controlled incandescent lamp were used as loads to generate series arcing. A high-pass filter (HPF) with the low cut-off frequency of 3 kHz at -3 dB was fabricated and applied to separate the series arc signal from the AC voltage source. The experiment showed that the high frequency signal generates randomly during series arcing, and the phase-controlled incandescent lamp produces high frequency pulses even in normal state. In this case, the magnitude, the width, and the randomness of high frequency signal should be analyzed to estimate series arcing precisely.

Most of fires are electric fires and 78.65% of those fires are caused by electric arc fault. This series arc fault can be caused not only by decrepit wire, pressed wire or contact badness etc. anywhere we use electricity. There are signs of heat release and flame discharge before the arc fire accident happens. This paper proposes a circuit topology for alarm system of series arc fault. We also verify the qualification of system through various arc fault simulator.

고압변압기의 1차측을 제어하고 2차측에 유도된 전압을 이용한 수중방전음원의 전기음향학적 제특성을 분석.검사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 방전시 2차측 전류는 초기에는 Ohm 법칙을 따르다가 전류가 최고 6.3A 흘러 절연 파괴되었으며, 그 순간 방전음이 생성되었다. 2. 전류인가점과 방전음 생성문의 시간차는 약 3ms였으며, 전압이 최고일 때 절연파괴가 일어나 방전음이 생성되었다. 3. 전극의 끝이 뾰족할수록 2차측 전압이 높을수록 음압수준은 높았다. 4. 뾰족한 형태의 전극은 전극간격이 100cm일 때도 방전이 일어났으며 전극간격이 1cm이상부터 비교적 안정된 방전음이 생성되었다. 5. 방전음의 펄스폭은 약 0.15ms인 Shock Wave였으며, 10HKz 이하의 합성저주파 성분이었다.

In this paper, we analyzed the frequency spectrum of the electromagnetic waves radiated by an electric discharge as a basic study to develop an on-line diagnostic technique for power equipment installed inside closed-switchboards. In order to simulate local and series arc discharges caused by an electric field concentration and poor connections, three types of electrode systems were fabricated, consisting of needle and plane electrodes and an arc generator meeting the specifications of UL 1699. The experiment was carried out in an electromagnetic anechoic chamber, and the measurement system consisted of a PD free transformer, a loop antenna with a frequency bandwidth of 150 kHz-30 MHz, an ultra log periodic antenna with a frequency bandwidth of 30 MHz-2 GHz, and an EMI test receiver with a frequency bandwidth of 3 Hz-3 GHz. According to the experimental results, the frequency spectra of the electrical discharges were widely distributed across a range of 150 kHz-400 MHz, depending on the defects, while commonly found between 150 kHz and 10 MHz. Therefore, considering the ambient noise and antenna characteristics, the best frequency bandwidth for a measurement system to monitor abnormal conditions by detecting electromagnetic waves in closedswitchboards is 150 kHz-10 MHz.

본 논문에서는 수배전반 내 코로나 및 직렬아크 발생 시 나타나는 초음파 신호의 측정 및 분석에 대해 기술하였다. 휴대용 초음파 감지기는 전기 시스템에서 발생하는 코로나와 같은 방전 현상 감지에 유용하다. 그러나 일반적인 휴대용 초음파 감지기는 방전 여부에 대한 판단 결과가 사용자의 주관적 반응에 영향을 미치며, 음향 특성을 듣고 결과를 예측함으로써 문제 유형을 판별하는 것이 어렵다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 초음파 특성을 구별하는 새로운 분석 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 초음파 감지기로 측정 한 초음파 음향을 시각화하기 위한 초음파 분석 사례를 연구하였다. 실험 결과 초음파탐지계통은 외부소음의 영향을 받지 않고 배전반에서 코로나 및 직렬 아크 방전을 검출할 수 있었다.

To establish testing method for ignition energy of explosive powders caused by electrostatic discharge, one testing method using a very small quantity of tested powders ( Frima ) was proposed, and the influence of discharge - limiting resistance connected in series into a capacitive discharge circuit on ignition energies of explosive powders was investigated using, as tested powders. As a result the minimum ignition energy was 9 mJ when discharge-limiting resistance was 300 k$\Omega$. The reason for the dependence of ignition energy on discharge-limiting resistance was thought to the difference in the type of electrostatic discharge, such as arc or glow discharge, from the observation of discharging wave forms.
