In the year 2002, 11,202 cases of electrical fires caused 462 casualties and about 58 billion won of physical damages. The electrical accidents alone caused victimized 854 people, including 87 deaths. at present, no detailed statistics about electrical fires is available. Also, there is no statistics about electric shocks and electrical equipment accidents. the electrical accidents are on the increase, proportional to the increase of electrical use. Therefore, a statistical analysis of electrical accidents is required to understand the situation and take measures to prevent similar accidents.

누전, 아크 그리고 과부하로 인한 전기화재를 탐지하고 제어할 수 있는 시스템보드(system- on-board)를 구현하였다. 이를 위하여 화재방지제어 시스템 IC를 사용하였으며, 누설전류 검출을 위한 GF(ground fault)신호 검출회로, 아크(arc fault)신호 검출회로, 그리고 과전류가 발생할 경우 입력전압을 제어할 수 있는 과부하신호 검출회로를 설계하였다. GF신호 검출회로와 아크신호 검출회로는 누설전류와 아크신호에 각각 잘 동작하였으며, 과부하(overload) 신호 검출회로는 노이즈나 부하변동에 따른 오동작 없이 과부하시에만 동작함을 확인하였다.

Electrical fire in residential, commercial, and industrial areas occupies 40 percent of overall fire accidents as of the year of 1994. The causes of most electrical fires were studied and, based on this investigation, the principle of the early detection or prediction of the electrical fires is developed. The basic principle is to early detect electrical arcs or sparks caused by faulty connections and insulation failures. the structure of the prediction system based on microcontroller technique is presented.

본 연구는 객체 관계형 DB를 이용한 전기화재 원인을 진단할 수 있는 사례기반 시스템을 개발하였다. 시스템은 간편하고 그리고 효율적으로 DB를 구축 및 전기화재의 원인 진단에 중점을 두고 있다. 전기화재와 관련된 정보를 저장하고 접근하기 위해서 전기화재를 분별할 수 있는 주요한 항목들을 도출하였다. 사례기반 시스템은 과거의 전기화재 사례로부터 정보를 추출하여 구성하고, 새롭게 발생된 화재의 원인은 패턴매칭을 통해 사례기반 DB를 검색함으로써 진단될 수 있다. 사례기반 시스템은 수집된 다양한 정보를 이용하여 다중 속성에 대한 검색 기능뿐만 아니라 원인진단을 쉽게 사용될 수 있도록 향상된 진단 기능을 갖고 있다.

화재통계연보와 국가화재정보시스템의 자료를 기초로 자동차화재 실태를 분석한 결과 아래와 같은 내용을 파악할 수 있었다. 자동차화재는 매일 16건 이상 발생하여 0.5명 이상의 사상자와 5천만원 이상의 직접적인 재산손실이 발생하고 있다. 자동차화재의 원인은 기계적 요인이 가장 많고 이어서 전기적 요인과 방화 순이며, 전체화재 중 방화의 비율은 7.39%이지만 차량화재 중 방화화재의 비율은 13.79%이다. 연간 자동차화재 100건당 사망자는 평균 0.9명이며 부상자는 평균 2.4명이다. 전체 자동차화재 중 고속도로에서 발생하는 화재건수가 12.55%를 차지하고 있음에도 고속도로 자동차화재의 사망자는 16.12%, 부상자는 21.05%, 재산피해는 20.65%를 차지하고 있다.

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.

The main cause of solar facility fires is arc, and in the last 3 years ('16 to '18), about 80% of domestic solar facility fires have been caused by arcs. The capacity of solar power facilities installed around the world continues to increase, and fires caused by arcs are also expected to increase as the solar power generation facilities that were initially installed become obsolete, In this paper, an arc generation test was conducted based on the UL1699B test standard. As a result of the test, the arc generation satisfied the minimum arc current according to the test conditions, and DC arc characteristics were analyzed through data such as arc voltage and arc current according to variables such as speed of moving electrodes and electrode spacing.

It is often thought that when a fire is found in parked motor vehicles, the fire may occur after an engine stops. Also, it is easy to judge that when motor vehicle fires occur during engine stopping, it may be caused by arson or electrical causes irrespective of a fuel system. This study analyzed motor vehicle fires which occurred in operation but were found after parking and revealed that these fires were caused by the defect of a fuel system and the same motor vehicle types had fires by the same causes. Moreover, this study provided judgement process of major fire causes and periods for fire investigators to apply when investigating fires of parked motor vehicles. And this fire is related to automotive products liability.

Nowadays the diversity and large-capacity of electric appliances are strong effect on electrical fires augment in an alarming way. But, as the inactive response characteristics of the existing RCD (Residual Current protective Device) used on low voltage power distribution lines, so control of overload and electric short circuit faults, major causes of electrical fires, are not enough. Therefore this paper is confirmed the unreliability of the existing RCD by electrical faults simulation and is proposed a auxiliary trip device of RCD by using a high precision current sensor (namely, reed switch) for the prevention of electrical disasters in low voltage power distribution lines caused by overload or electric short circuit faults. The sensitive reed switch in the proposed ATD (auxiliary trip device) exactly detects the increased magnetic flux with the overload or the short current caused by a number of electrical faults, and then rapidly cuts off the existing RCD. The proposed auxiliary trip device of RCD is confirmed the excellent characteristics in response velocity and accuracy in comparison with the conventional circuit breaker through various operation performance analysis. The proposed ATD can also prevent electrical disaster, like as electrical fires, which resulted from the malfunction and inactive response characteristics of the existing RCD.

This paper presents the development of an electrical fire detection system using digital temperature and current detectors in order to sound for electrical fire in advance. As the demand for electricity is increasing and industrial facilities are getting more complex and larger in size, the losses of human life and property are on the increase by electrical fires. In order to prevent electrical fires, it is required to find out fire signatures, or electric signal of the overcurrent and overheating. Therefore, in this paper, developed is an electrical fire detection system based on the detection of signal for overcurrent and overheating to prevent electrical accidents in advance that happen in electrical wires. The developed system gives an alarm by computer monitor, speaker system and mobile phone before electrical fires occur and give severe damages to human beings and properties, and the system can be implemented and supplied for business and residental buildings at a low price. The usefulness and validity of the system, also, verified in this paper by case study and experiments.
