This paper describes electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker for power plant. Electric shock accidents mostly involve damage of human life, in comparison with electrical fire, rate of human death tend to be higher in electric shock accidents. Specially, in a high voltage facilities rate of human death comprised about 43.7% by electric shock accidents. If electric shock accidents happen in a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker for power plant, then the power plant discontinue power production. Electric shock accidents in a power plant have a great ripple effect such as an electric power shortage. In this paper, we analyzed electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker for power plant. From the analysis results, we confirmed a cause of electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker, it happened by defect of interlock equipment or occurrence of breakdown between first feeder contactor and shielding plate. In order to reduce electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker, the power plant should consider improvement of interlock equipment and insulation of feeder contactor in circuit breaker.

In this modern age which electric energy is the fundamental source of energy in the industry, electric shock disasters are unavoidable. Although numerous efforts, time, and money have been invested to prevent such electric shock disasters, the number of electric shock disasters are on the increase. In this study, models for equivalent electric circuit are developed for the different types of electric shock which are classified into three groups. The objective of these models is to calculate the electric current flowing through the body at the time of the shock. Based on the analysis, countermeasures to prevent the shock are suggested. The data used in this study are based on 28 actual incidents which occurred in the Daegu area during January of 1995 through June of 1999. The results of this study can be used as a technical manual for workers treating electrical facilities.

According to the data of Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, electric shock accidents during recent 11 years exceeded more than 60% in architecture/other and construction work, the countermeasures for safety are required in the harsh environment of a construction site where moving electric machines and equipments are widely used. The establishment of countermeasure for insulation degradation and defect is required, in consideration of increasing trend for accidents caused by defective insulation among low voltage electrical installation each year. The aim of this study is to propose the policy about portable electrical tool standards and/or worker's safety standards for preventing electric shock accidents on safety workings, and is to develop the technology and the safety device to prevent electric shock for accident prevention reduction through experiments. It obtained the followings through this study; statistical data analysis of late about 10 years of electric shock-related industrial accidents analysis and portable electric tools; safety device development of 'device for testing continuous grounding and power shut-down' to prevent electric shock from portable electric tools. Furthermore, developed results and proposal in this study will help to prevent the electric shock accidents from portable electric tools and will be expected the utilization of policy formulation, educational data and field supplement of the safety device, and etc.

Regarding the characteristics of fatal electric shock accident during the past 10 years, fatalities occurred more frequently in July & August, and AM 10-12 PM & 14-16. Also, the electric shock accident is occurred more frequently in the age group from 30 to 40. Especially, the fatal electric shock accident in construction industry covered more than half of total industry. Therefore, it is strongly requested for the protection technology of an electric shock from the low voltage electric path, grounding method and workers. The aim of this study is to propose the policy about the equipment performance standards and/or worker's safety standards to revise the standards for preventing electric shock accidents on safety workings.

This study presents a hazard assessment of the human body exposed to electic shock considering various parameters which affect severity of the electric shock. The present study has two research objectives; one is no analyze hazards of the human body by the elctric shock both on the ground and in the water. The other is to understand the mechnism of the electric shock. In order to achieve these objectives the hazard of shock is estimated by comparing with physiological effects of electric curren througn the human body according to variation of shock parameters of shock circuits. The shock parameters adopted in this paper consist of body resistance, resistance of protective equipment, ground resistance, shock duration, depth of gound surface layer, relection factor, permissible touch voltage, body current and body voltage. Besides, safety standard determining hazard degree of the human body is introduced. And hazard of the human body due to the electric shock is quantitatibely assessed in consideration of data obtained by the method suggested herein, and final results are presented and discussed.

The electric shock victims were predominantly male, and more than half of the victims were found in companies with less than five employees in terms of the scale of company, and also more than half of victims had less than one month of experience for work experience. Considering the category of industry, more than half of the victims were engaged in construction, and considering the subcategory of industries, more than 60% of electric shock victims were found in building and other construction works. This study intended to conduct an in-depth analysis on the cause of electric shock accidents to provide basic data for policy proposing taking into considering the characteristics such as the electric shock path, low voltage, grounding and protection of workers. Also this study conducted an in-depth analysis of electric shock accidents for the past eleven years taking into account the necessity of a long-term plan.

In this paper, the evaluating test methods of the fire and the electric shock on the Electric pad using the house is proposed. We analyzed electric pad using magnetic shielded type hot wire because electric pad using the magnetic shielded type hot wire generally be used in the home. We analyzed FMEA in order to analyze the mechanism of the fire and the electric shock of the electric pad and designed testing methods (Durability tests on the environment, Mechanical durability tests, Electrical durability tests) obtained through the two-step QFD and tested. We verified the evaluating test methods of the fire and the electric shock on the Electric pad using the house through the analysis of the test results.

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.
