With the rapid development of the national industry, the importance of electrical safety was recognized because of a lot of new electrical equipment are installing and the electrical accidents have been occurring annually. Today, the electrical equipments is inspect by using the portable Infrared thermal imaging camera. but the most negative element of using the camera is inspected for only state of heating, the reliable diagnosis is depended with inspector's knowledge, and real-time monitoring is impossible. This paper present the infrared thermal imaging safety diagnosis system. This system is able to monitor in real time, predict the state of fault, and diagnose the state with analysis of thermal and power data. The system consists of a main processor, an infrared camera module, the power data acquisition board, and a server. The diagnostic algorithm is based on a mathematical model designed by analyzing the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient between temperature and power data. To test the prediction algorithm, the simulations were performed by damaging the terminals or cables on the switchboard to generate a large amount of heat. Utilizing these simulations, the developed prediction algorithm was verified.

Recently, the use of an electrical apparatus has brought up concerns of health risks from exposure to electromagnetic fields. EMF is composed of electric fields and magnetic fields. Heavy exposure to EMF can occur only in the vicinity of high-voltage overhead transmission lines, close to transformers and underground cables, and also close to large electrical machinery. In this thesis I have investigated the hypothesis of the correlation between occupational exposure to ELF-EMF and the risks of leukemia, anemia, cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate whether or not ELF-EMF emitted from electric power stations and transformer substations affect some hematological parameters and tumor markers of electric utility workers. The hematological test results and tumor markers under investigation were similar in the two groups but some of parameters such as RBC, AFP, LDH showed significant difference between the two groups from two sample t-test (p<0.05). The exposure group showed increased LDH level compared to the control group by two sample t-tests. In addition, the abnormal LDH level in the exposure group was observed to be clinically significant by ${\chi}^2$-test. However, the levels of RBC, AFP observed were not clinically significant by ${\chi}^2$-test (p>0.05). These results suggested that ELF-EMF does not affect most blood test parameters except LDH of electric utility workers.

The controversy over the risk of the human body being affected by electromagnetic fields emitted from 60 Hz power lines continues without end. There are currently no new studies or research progress being made in this direction that is notable, and the number of civil complaints is gradually increasing. The problem is that each study produces different results, among which the effect of exposure to magnetic fields on childhood leukemia is a major one. In Korea, an electrician who was maintaining a 22.9 kV power line died of leukemia, which has recently been recognized as an occupational disease. Methods to reduce magnetic fields from power lines include shielding with wire loops, incorporating split phases and compaction techniques, installing underground power lines, converting to high-voltage direct current (HVDC), and increasing the ground clearance of transmission towers. Depending on whether a separate power supply is needed or not, there are two types of wire loops: passive loop and active loop. Magnetic field reduction is currently done through underground power lines; however, the disadvantage of this process is high construction costs. Installing passive loops, with relatively low construction costs, leads to lower magnetic field reduction rates than installing underground cables and a weakness to not solving the landscape problem. This methodological study aims at designing methods and reducing the effects of 2-wire set loops-the simplest and most practical. Since the method proposed in this study has been designed after analyzing the distribution of complex electromagnetic fields near the expected loop installation location, a practical design can be implemented without the need for any difficult optimization programming.

케이블에 인가되는 신호로 의사잡음 수열을 사용하여 인가신호와 반사신호의 시간 상관 분석을 실시하여 케이블 고장을 검출하는 STDR (sequence time domain reflectometry)은 노이즈 환경에 강하고, 단선, 합선을 포함한 간헐적 고장의 검출이 가능한 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 고장 위치의 거리가 멀거나 경미한 고장의 경우 반사신호의 감쇄가 크고 상관계수가 작아지게 되어, 케이블 고장 판별이 어렵거나 측정 거리 오차가 커진다. 또한 위상과 피크치 검출에 의한 고장 탐지 자동화가 어렵게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 STDR의 고장 검출 성능을 향상시키기 위해 케이블에 인가되는 인가신호의 상관계수의 최댓값을 검출하고, 다음으로 인가신호를 제거하여 반사신호의 상관계수의 최댓값을 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 저압 전력 케이블에서의 고장 검출 실험을 통해 성능을 입증하였다. 그 결과 제안된 방법은 신호가 감쇄되더라도 전통적인 STDR보다 고장 여부의 정확한 구분과 위치의 추적이 가능하였다. 또한 기준신호 제거와 상관계수의 정규화를 통해 위상과 최대값 검출 방법을 사용함으로써 자동 고장 판별과 거리 계산에 오류가 발생하지 않았다.
