The purpose of this paper is to study the correlation application that electrical fire causes occurs for overcurrent and leakage current signals in the indoor wiring. In the order to purpose, the causes data of overcurrent, or leakage current of electrical fire are drawn out referring to past studies, consulting with experts and experimental data. The correlation application was then applied with fuzzy logic of intelligent technique. To check the reliability and performance of the correlation application, modified center of area(CoA) was adopted to calculate the possibility that electrical fire occurs, whose value was then compared to the results. The chance of electrical fire calculated is higher when two causes of fire are put into the CoA of the correlation application of this paper than that of when each cause is separately put into the CoA. The correlation application developed in this study enables better analysis on possible electrical fire due to overcurrent, or leakage current and provides managers with the possibility of electrical fire so that they can better manage at a time of overcurrent, or leakage current.

This paper is aimed to develop an electrical fire detection system (EFDS) which can analyze the possibility of electrical fire for overcurrent, leakage current and arc signals of panel board in traditional market shop. The EFDS adopted fuzzy logic and precursory data for overcurrent, leakage current and arc signals to evaluate the possibility of electrical fire. The signals are obtained directly from panel board in traditional market shops and fuzzy membership function is obtained from experiment, simulation, expert's advice. The overcurrent data is acquired by thermal data of normal and abnormal states (partial disconnection) on the insulated electrical wire, in accordance with the increase of the current signal, The leakage current data is obtained under various environments. The arc signal is acquisited by waveforms of instantaneous value in time domain and frequency band in frequency domain. The Fuzzy algorithm for DB of EFDS consists of fuzzification, inference engine by Mamdani's method and defuzzification by center of gravity method. In order to verify the performance and reliability of EFDS, it was applied to Jeon-Ju traditional market shops (90 shops) in Korea. Results show that EFDS in this paper is useful in alarming the fire case, which will prevent severe damage to human beings and properties, and reduce the electrical fires in a vulnerable area of electrical disaster.

Nowadays, to prevent electrical accidents in Korea, inspectors directly performed checking general electrical facilities as a cycle from every one to three years. It is difficult to presuppose an omen because intact conditions of electrical equipments are not kept at the time of inspection. In this paper, in order to ensure effectiveness of an online basis electric inspection, we developed an electrical safety IoT system using LoRa communication technology to enable monitoring mainly electrical safety components such as overcurrent, overvoltage, resistive leakage current, and power. Then we proposed a method for verifying performances of the prosed electrical safety IoT system. Resistive leakage currents are calculated by using difference of phase between voltages and currents. We verified that average errors are 0.97%, which reference goal is ${\pm}5%$ for a device, through reliability test according to conditions. Results of this research can be used as basic study materials to develop technologies for measuring three phase leakage current and for implementing public electrical safety. platform.

As the huge economical loss and function paralysis of information technology-based systems can be caused by the misoperation of residual current devices(RCDs) due to surge voltages and currents, RCDs shall not operate by surge currents. In this paper, in order to evaluate the reliability of residual current operated circuit-breakers with integral overcurrent protection for household and similar uses((RCBOs) stressed by surges, the unintended trip characteristics of RCBOs under surge currents were experimentally investigated using the combination wave generator. Seven different types of single-phase RCBOs being present on the domestic market were investigated according to KS C IEC 61009-1 standard. As a result, all kinds of specimens were satisfied the requirements for 0.5 [${\mu}s$]/100[kHz] ring wave impulse currents. Most of specimens stressed by the 8/20[${\mu}s$] impulse current tripped at least one or more, and some of them were broken down during consecutive tests. It was found that only one type of specimens meets the L-N mode immunity to the combination wave of 1.2/50[${\mu}s$] impulse voltage and 8/20[${\mu}s$] impulse current.

This study is intended to identify issues on the basis of investigating the actual state of laboratory environment and outlet circuit, and derive end states by expressing sequences from the initiating event of disaster to accident in leakage current, poor contact and overload through ETA(event tree analysis). To this end, this study investigated the actual state of electric equipment of laboratory at universities in all parts of country. And it is shown that most of them are failure in electric work and user negligence in the investigation of actual state. It is found that there is earth fault and defect in wire diameter in the failure of electric work and the problem of partial disconnection due to wire bundling and poor contact in user negligence. Outlet-related component, failure rate and initiating events are composed of a total of 41 initiating events, i.e., 30 internal initiating events and 11 external initiating events. And end states are composed of a total of 15 parts, i.e., 3 electric power parts and 12 safety parts. Earthing class 3 is the most important safety device against leakage current (initiating event). And in case of poor contact, it is necessary for manager to check thoroughly because there is no safety device. In case of overload/overcurrent, when high-capacity equipment is connected, a molded case circuit breaker, safety device, worked. However, in most cases, it is verified that this doesn't work. This study can be utilized as electric equipment safety guide for laboratory safety manager and managers.

According to the statistical analysis on the electrical fire of 2005 years, most of electrical fire is generated from short circuit(4,985 cases), overcurrent(755 cases) leakage current(391 cases), poor contact(378 cases), disconnection(36 cases) on the electrical wiring device. The researches for the fire hazard about normal electric wiring have already been progressing in the advanced country such as USA and Japan, but Comparative study of the disconnection has not been conducted. Therefore, in this paper, we have simulated the thermal analysis for electrical wire according to deteriorating time in a normal state and disconnection with electrical wire using the electrical-thermal finite element method(Flux 3D). This paper acquire basis data of electricity fire signal by disconnection and wish to help for electrical fire cause diagnosis business.

현재 화재의 58%정도는 전기에 의한 화재이다. 본 연구에서는 전기에 의한 화재의 요인을 분석하여 미연에 화재를 예방이 가능한 시스템에 대하여 연구하였다. 재난재해를 예방하기 위해서는 기본적으로 화재 징후를 알아내기 위한 다양한 전기에 관한 IoT 센서들이 필요하다. 이러한 센서들은 각각 발생하는 많은 상황정보들을 계속적으로 수신하고 메인시스템으로 전송한다. 이렇게 모아진 빅 데이터들은 패턴분석을 통해 재난이 발생할 수 있는 임계치를 벗어나는지 여부를 계속적으로 체크하며 데이터의 비교를 통하여 어느 부분의 문제가 있는지 여부도 체크할 수 있다. 임계치를 벗어나는 상황에는 경보신호를 알려주고 문제 있는 부분에 대한 정보도 전달한다. 이를 통해 과전류, 누설전류 등과 같은 전기적인 문제를 미연에 방지함으로써 화재를 예방할 수 있는 결과를 보여준다.

공항과 같은 산업 설비에 사용되는 분전반에서는 주 개폐기로 배선용 차단기가 사용이 되고 있으며, 분기 개폐기는 누전 차단기가 사용되어 인체 보호 및 누전 화재 보호 기능을 수행하고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 과전류 보호, 단락 보호 겸용 기능을 포함하여 사용되어 지고 있다. 특히 공항용 분전반의 경우 사용자의 급증과 함께 급속한 첨단화와 기기의 대용량화, 다양화, 전원용량의 증대 등으로 공항의 안정적인 전원 공급을 위하여 사고에 대한 보호 증대가 필요하게 되었고, 분기 누전 차단기의 다량 사용에 의한 2열 배열의 접속 방법 등으로 분전반을 제작하여 설치 면적에 대한 이슈가 부각되어 차단기의 슬림화가 주요한 문제로 자리 잡고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위하여 아크 소호 기구부의 설계, 접점이 운동 방향 변경을 고려하여 기구부를 설계하고, 누전 검출 회로의 소형화 및 역 접속 시에도 안적적인 동작이 가능하도록 설계하였으며, 이를 검증하기 위하여 단락 시험을 실시함으로써 성능 검증을 하였고, 사고 전류에 대한 보호 기능의 강화와, 차단기의 슬림화, 역접속시에서 누전 동작이 가능한 차단기를 개발함으로써 급속히 커져가는 공항용 분전반에서 발생하는 공간 사용의 문제점을 해결하는데 도움을 주고자 한다.

직류 배전시스템의 보급이 증가됨에 따라 이에 따른 고장 발생 및 화재 사고도 증가하고 있고 특히 스마트 그리드의 구성 요소인 ESS 화재 사고, 직류 시스템인 태양광 발전 시스템의 화재 사고는 신재생에너지의 보급이 급격하게 증가하고 동시에 사용 연수 10년 이상의 노후 시설이 많아짐에 따라, 시스템 구성 요소 간의 전기적인 접속의 문제들로 발생하고 있다. 이로 인해 유발된 빛과 열을 방출하여 직접적인 화재의 원인이 될 수 있는 아크가 화재의 한 원인으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서 이러한 아크 결함의 문제는 기존의 과전류차단기와 누전차단기로는 아크사고를 사전에 차단할 수 없는 실정이며 대규모 유틸리티 시스템뿐만 아니라 소규모 주거 시스템에서도 인간의 안전에 중대한 위협이 될 수 있기에 아크사고에 대한 대책이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 국제표준화에 만족하는 시험장비 개발과 아크 발생에 따른 고장 및 화재를 보호하기 위한 직류 아크 Generator를 개발 하고자 한다.
