This paper aims at the statistical analysis of electrical fire and classification of electrical fire causes to collect electrical fires data efficiently. Electrical fire statistics are produced to monitor the number and characteristics of fires attended by fire fighters, including the causes and effects of fire so that action can be taken to reduce the human and financial cost of fire. Electrical fires make up the majority of fires in Korea(including nearly 30% of total fires according to recent figures), The incorrect and biased knowledge for electrical fires changed the classification of certain types of fires, from non-electrical to electrical. It is convenient and required to develop the standardized form that makes, in the assessment of the cause of electrical fires, the fire fighters directly ticking the appropriate box on the fire report form or making an assessment of a text description. Therefore, it is highly recommended to develop electrical fire cause classification and electrical fire assessment on the fire statistics in order to categorize and assess electrical fires exactly. In this paper newly developed electrical fire cause classification structure, which is well-defined hierarchical structure so that there are not any relationship or overlap between cause categories, is suggested. Also fire statistics systems of foreign countries are introduced and compared.

전기화재는 전체 화재의 30% 이상을 차지하고 있지만 전기화재 통계의 신뢰성에 대한 검토가 제대로 이루어지지 못하였다. 전기화재는 원인분류 방법 또는 체계의 미흡으로 전기적 요인이 아닌 경우에도 전기화재로 분류되어 높은 점유율을 차지하게 되었고 그로 인한 전기화재 통계의 문제점이 제기되었다. 따라서 기존의 전기화재 원인 분류 방법의 개선을 통해 전기화재 통계의 신뢰성 확보가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 전기화재 원인분류에 따른 전기화재 조사 및 통계의 문제점을 분석하였고 새로운 전기화재 원인분류 방법을 제시하였다.

본 논문은 전기화재 통계의 신뢰성을 향상시키고 효율적인 전기화재 자료를 수집하기 위한 전기화재 원인분류의 개발에 관한 연구이다. 전기화재에 대한 잘못되거나 편향된 지식은 전기화재에 대한 형태 분류를 바뀌게 한다. 전기화재 원인분석에 있어 화재조사자들이 올바르게 보고서를 작성할 수 있는 표준화된 형식을 개발하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 원인들간의 인과관계를 고려한 계층구조로 새롭게 개발된 전기화재 원인분류체계를 제안하였다. 그리고 제안된 분류체계는 전기화재 조사 및 통계에 사용될 수 있으며, 전기화재 진단의 오류를 최소화할 수 있다.

급격한 경제발전과 더불어 전기로 인한 화재가 발생하면 막대한 인명과 재산피해가 발생하여 국가적으로 크나큰 손실이 아닐 수 없다. 이러한 전기화재를 예방하기 위해서는 원인과 장소별 등으로 분류된 세부적인 통계를 생산하고 정확한 화재원인을 규명하여 화재예방 자료로 활용하는 것이 가장 근본적인 대책이라 할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 최근 10년간 화재발생 현황 및 2006년 전기화재 원인별, 장소별, 월별로 분석하였고 또한, 2005년 전기화재 8,554건에 대하여 전국의 소방서를 우리공사 직원이 직접 방문하여 심층적이고 전문적인 전기화재 실태조사를 실시하였다. 따라서 이번 논문이 전기화재를 예방하는 자료로 활용되고 정확한 화재통계 생산에 디딤돌이 되었으면 하는 바람으로 제시하였다.

Korea Electrical Safety Cooperation(KESCO) have provided the electrical safety speed-call service from 2007 year. Purpose of the service is to reduce discomfort of electricity use and to prevent electrical accident like as electrical fire and shock accident by providing emergency treatment service on fault of the residential electrical facilities notified in the specific house like as a lower-income group and a social welfare facility. But efficiency and economic evaluation of the electrical safety speed-call service is impossible because analysis on the quantitative effect of the service is difficult. This paper presents cost-benefit analysis method and result of the electrical safety speed-call service. The presented cost-benefit analysis method has a two-step process: the first step is to measure quantitative electrical fire prevention effect of the service by using electrical accident statistics and developing outcome analysis logic model of the service effect, and the second step is to analysis cost-benefit(B/C)of the service by calculating quantitative benefit analysis on the measured quantitative electrical fire prevention effect. The results showed that cost-benefit(B/C)of the electrical safety speed-call service is over 4 after 2010 year.

This paper presents a quantitative analysis method to quantitatively indicate a electrical fire preventive effect of safety inspection for electrical facilities for general use. Logic model was developed based on whether enforcement of safety inspection for electrical facilities, and then the developed analysis model was converted to hydraulic model by using mathematical logic. The electrical fire preventive effect of safety inspection for electrical facilities was quantitatively calculated by applying electrical safety inspection results and fire statistics for five years to the developed hydraulic model. The results show that electrical fire preventive effects of 5,542 cases on annual average for five years.

This paper estimates electrical fire damage cost-effect to analyze electrical safety efficiency by applying a cost-benefit analysis method for analyzing the efficiency of a business public interest. Electrical fire loss statistics data was presented as direct costs and casualties, including deaths due to an electrical fire, this paper adds overhead "Incidental Cost of Accidents to the Employer" by W. H. Heinrich was applied to estimate the cost of economic loss. Also wounded, including the loss of human deaths by referring to the car accident insurance claims costs and human development estimated the losses caused by an electrical fire. And to perform a cost-benefit analysis of the electrical safety as a result of future work. In this paper, the economic effect of the electric field of safety and public interest work to systematically presented.

As industry is progressing and standards of living are improved, the demand of electrical energy is expected to grow 8-9% annually. Therefore, the importance of electrical fire prevention technology with the ability of the power supply is being emphasized. According to the statistics of fire in Korea, fire occurred about 45,000 cases annually, and electrical fire possessed about 20%. The electrical fire by poor contact has increased gradually, can be connected as great fire to secondarily induce short circuit and earth fault. Then analysis of heating causes of electrical connections between copper and copper alloy is needed. Also, detection and analysis algorithm of oxide at copper alloy are necessary. In this research, in order to understand the characteristics of oxide growth with rising resistance and heating, it is demonstrated that the oxide at electrical connections can cause fire due to arcing.

This study aims to examine the risk of electrical fire in places where electric heat wires are used. In general, the use of electric heating wires is becoming more common and prevalent in a bid to prevent increasing damage caused by freezing and bursting in residential water pipes, factory pipes and irrigation pipes in vinyl greenhouse and a variety of heat wire products are available in market with legal safety requirements imposed on them. However, the widespread use of anti-freezing burst heat wire products has caused increasing incidents of fire, which often fail to be incorporated into statistics due to quick onsite extinguishing and insignificant damage although damage is gradually on the rise. Against this backdrop, this study aims to look into the possibility of ignition caused by electric heat wires and the mechanism of how it turns into catching fire through overheat and short circuit tests for anti-freezing burst electrical heat wires (hereinafter called the 'heat wire') and expects to serve as the basis for further observations and analyses on the cause of fire and the process of ignition in a scientific manner.

Electrical leakage happens when faults in electrical apparatus or power lines occur. It causes electrical fires and electric shocks. In order to reduce accidents caused by electrical leakage current, it is important to detect faults effectively and shut off the power. In this paper, firstly we analyzed statistics of electrical fires and electric shocks caused by electrical leakage current. Secondly, standards of allowable leakage current and body impedance models were analyzed. Lastly, effective application methods for breaking electrical leakage current were suggested. The results will provide useful preventive measures of electrical fires and electric shocks caused by electrical leakage.
