Electrostatic charge is generated in large scale or high speed processes dealing with materials with large resistance, or under complicated condition. Fire and explosion often occur due to electrostatic charge accumulated in flammable gases, vapor, liquids and powder. It is usually very difficult to verify the cause of accidents as well as the prevention. In this study, it is shown that the needle electrode needs the electrode gap from 1.8mm to 3.8mm, sphere electrode and plate electrodes need the electrode gap of 1.9mmfor the minimum ignition energy. The sphere electrode and the plate electrode requires 12.8mJ and 3.2mJ of minimum ignition energy respectively with the electrode gap of 1.1mm. The ignition voltage rises to very large value as the ground resistance increases.

To establish testing method for ignition energy of explosive powders caused by electrostatic discharge, one testing method using a very small quantity of tested powders ( Frima ) was proposed, and the influence of discharge - limiting resistance connected in series into a capacitive discharge circuit on ignition energies of explosive powders was investigated using, as tested powders. As a result the minimum ignition energy was 9 mJ when discharge-limiting resistance was 300 k$\Omega$. The reason for the dependence of ignition energy on discharge-limiting resistance was thought to the difference in the type of electrostatic discharge, such as arc or glow discharge, from the observation of discharging wave forms.

This study investigates the main factors of fire prevention, such as spontaneous ignition and flash point, while using Diehylene Glycol (DEG) as the antifreeze for automobile and industrial machines. Our results show the flash point of $142^{\circ}C$ and the minimum ignition temperature of $388^{\circ}C$ in the range of $130{\mu}{\ell}{\sim}150{\mu}{\ell}$. By increasing temperature to ignite in 1 second, an instantaneous ignition temperature of the sample is $569^{\circ}C$ in the sample amount of $140{\mu}{\ell}$.

본 연구에서는 분진의 착화 특성 및 정전기 위험성 평가법을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 착화에너지 시험은 PE(HD), PE(LD), PMMA 분진에 대해 MIKE-3장치를 사용하여 실시하였다. PE (HD)의 경우 약 8 ms의 일정 시간 경과 후에 분진운의 착화 화염이 형성되고, 착화원 중심부에서는 화염 핵이 관찰되지 않았다. 분진의 분산 횟수가 증가함에 따라 정전압이 증가하고 분진 농도에 따른 정전압 발생 증가율은 PMMA, PE(LD), PE (HD) 순으로 가장 높았다. PE(HD) 분진의 분산 조건이 정전압에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며, 분산 횟수가 많아질수록 정전압이 증가하였고 동일한 분산 횟수에서는 분진 농도가 높아질수록 정전압이 증가하였다. 정전기 착화에 의한 화재폭발사고 예방을 위한 안전 정전압은 PE(HD), PE(LD)-1, PE(LD)-2, PMMA에 있어서 각각 2.58, 44.72, 25.82, 8.16 kV로 추정되었다. 정전압 측정자료를 사용하여 정전기 착화 위험성을 효율적으로 조사하여 최소착화에너지를 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다.

In the hazardous areas where explosive gases, vapor or mists exist, electrical apparatus and installations must be of explosion-proof construction to prevent or limit the danger of the ignition of potentially explosive atmosphere. In Korea, nine types of protection have been specified in the government regulations at present: flameproof enclosure, pressurization, oil immersion, increased safety, intrinsic safety, non-incendive, sand filling, encapsulation, and special types. Among these types, the intrinsic safety has the construction which limit or by-pass igniting the electric energy using electronic devices. This type has lots of merits but at the same time requires a high-degree of technology. In this paper, we investigated several dominating factors which affect the minimum ignition energy: this energy plays a very important role in design and evaluation of the intrinsic safety type electrical apparatus. Eletrode material, which is one of the most important factors, was intensively studied for the five sorts of material(Al, Cd, Mg, Sn, and Zn) with performing experiment in a low-voltage inductive circuit using IEC-type spark apparatus. The experimental results show that the minimum ignition energy of electrode material is varied: highest in Cd and lowest in Sn. We also confirmed the effect of eletrode make-and-break speed and magnetic field magnitude.

열경화성 수지의 충전제로 많이 사용되고 있는 소나무 분진을 시료로 분진폭발의 최소착화에너지와 폭발한계를 측정하여 분진폭발 특성을 고찰하였다. 실험은 전극간 거리, 분진운 농도, 분진입도 및 수분 등에 대한 실험을 행하였다. 그 결과 전극간 거리가 4mm 이하로 되면 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 2mm 이하에서는 착화에너지가 갑자기 무한대로 되어 이 값이 한계전극 거리임을 알았다. 또한 분진운 농도가 증가하고 분진 입도가 미세할수록 폭발성이 용이하였으며, 동일한 입도의 분진에서 수분 함유량이 증가할수록 최소착화에너지가 증가하였다.

In the present study, the ignition characteristics of liquid fuel were experimentally investigated. To quantify its ignitability as ignition characteristics, the minimum ignition energy (MIE) of liquid fuel was defined and measured under at the elevated oxygen concentrations and reduced atmospheric pressures which that are the most probable conditions likely to be encountered during operation of the space launch vehicle's operating process. The experimental results demonstrate that the measured MIE decreased with the increasing the oxygen concentration at given atmospheric pressures. When the atmospheric pressure was reduced from 1 atm to 0.2 atm at a fixed oxygen concentration, the measured MIE was found to vary with $P^{-2}$ but the lowest MIE was observed at 0.8 atm.

With a progress of electrical and electronic technology, radio-frequency including high frequency components are widely to various industrial installations. Some of them are used in hazardous locations where explosive or flammable gases exist. As a result, ignition of such gases may be induced by a spark discharge when the radio frequency circuits are switched on or off. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ignition hazards of some kind of flammable mixtures based on the IEC 60079-11 publication. In this experiment, we used a high frequency resistive circuit which consists of a co-axial cable, a 20 ${\Omega}$, 30 ${\Omega}$, 40 ${\Omega}$ and 50 ${\Omega}$ resistor and two kind of power amplifier with frequency range up to almost 1 MHz and 50 MHz. Experimental results show that the ignition of the acetyleneair, ethylene-air mixtures and methane-air mixtures due to spark discharge depends primarily on the frequency of the power source in the resistive circuit the minimum ignition voltage increases gradually with the increase of the frequency.
