This paper considers the electrical shock risk of the human body due to underwater leakage current in such places of public baths. Many submerged electric facilities in a public bath may create a severe electric shock hazard for the human body, since wet body in an accidentally energized bathtub can result in low electrical resistance through the human body for leakage or fault currents. Therefore a major consideration, in the context of electrical safety underwater, is the shock risk to the bather as a result of electric current flowing through the water in bathtub. To assess the electric shock risk and to analyze the potential distribution in a bathtub, 2 different situation cases are set up, then experimental and simulation methods are adopted. The validity of 2 cases of simulation and experiment data in a bathtub for electric distribution underwater are compared and analyzed. Also electric shock risk assessment underwater in a real public bathtub by simulation program package, Flux 3D, was conducted herein, and the results are presented and discussed.

최근에 들어와 가로등에 의한 감전사고가 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 특히 집중호우로 인해 가로등이 침수될 경우 누전에 의한 감전 사고는 매우 높다. 전기감전사고가 발생할 경우 사고전압을 분석해 보면 주로 220V의 저압시설물에서 발생되고 있으나 이에 대한 위험성을 충분히 인식하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 가로등 시설물의 사용전압 220V는 주로 일반인이 쉽게 접촉할 수 있는 도로변에 시설되어 있기 때문에 감전사고의 위험성은 매우 높은 편이다. 그러나 가로등 침수로 인해 누전이 발생했을 경우 누전체에서의 거리변화에 따른 수중전위분포가 인체에 미치는 영향을 연구하는 사례는 미약한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 수중에서 누전이 발생했을 경우에 인체에 미치는 영향과 수중전위분포를 분석하고 수중에서 누전체와의 거리 및 깊이에 따른 변화가 어떻게 인체에 영향을 주는지 실험을 통하여 감전경로와 감전메카니즘을 비교 분석하고자 한다.

One of the most important devices in an underwater vessel is a propulsion system. It should be a quiet and efficient system for stealthy operations in the large mission area. Hence lead-acid battery system has been used to supply the energy to electric motor. Recent technological developments and improvements, such as polymer electrolyte membrane(PEM) fuel cell and lithium polymer battery and have created the potential to improve overall power and propulsion performance. An underwater vessel always starts their mission with a limited energy and is not easy to refuel. Therefore design of energy elements, such as fuel cell and battery, and their load distribution are important to increase the maximum operating time of underwater vessel. In this paper, the lead-acid battery/PEM fuel cell and lithium polymer battery/PEM fuel cell were suggested as propulsion system and their performances were analyzed by modeling and simulation using Matlab/Simulink. Each model concentrated on representing the characteristics of energy element depending on demand current. As a result the effect of load distribution between battery and fuel cell was evaluated and the operation time of each propulsion system was able to be estimated exactly.
