The probe type sensor using strain gauges was used to track a container box's seam in this paper. A strain gauge has a property which the specific resistance is changed by varying of the sectional area and length when tensile and compressive stresses are generated at the strain gauge. We designed the automatic seam tracking device by attaching the probe type strain gauge sensor, motor driving slide, encorder to check the moving distance and interface card connected MPU upside the speed controllable carriage. The folded work piece for a container box is made to examine whether the device can track the seam automatically or not. Seam tracking experiments were done by changing the carriage moving speed at 300. 400. 500. 600[mm/min] each as the voltage of side track was 2.5[V]. We compared and analyzed the sampling data which is obtained by output voltage of strain gauge sensor and rotary encorder pulse every 100 [m/s]. The welding experiments were performed by using $CO_2$ welding machine about the carriage moving speed that has good seam tracking condition in the seam tracking experiments above. And we compared the seam tracking status.

본 논문은 누전차단기 외함 전원측 단자사이에서 발생하는 전기화재 원인에 대한 분석을 연구하였다. 누전차단기는 보호범위의 전기시설물에서 누전 또는 과부하에 의한 차단을 목적으로 한다 누전차단기의 전원측 단자는 트래킹에 의해 화재로 쉽게 이어질 수 있다. 따라서, 누전차단기의 재현실험을 통해 트래킹시료($E_1$)와 화재현장에서 트래킹된 것($S_1$)을 비교분석하여 전기화재의 원인을 밝히는데 중요한 자료가 되도록 하였다. 실험은 IEC Publ. 112법을 응용하여 실시하였고 누전차단기에서 미소방전과 건조대가 발생한 후 소손되는 것을 확인하였다. $_1$에서 전원측 단자간의 절연저항은 약 25.7Ω이고 $S_1$의 절연저항은 약 58.6Ω이었다. $E_1$의 발열피크는 $491.0^{\circ}C$와 $603.2^{\circ}C$였다. $603.2^{\circ}C$에서의 발열피크는 트래킹에 의한 것이다. $S_1$의 발열피크는 $593.1^{\circ}C$에서 나타났다. 트래킹에 의해 변화된 시료는 IR 흡수스펙트럼에서 $1590 cm^{-1}$ 에서 흡광피크가 나타나지 않았다.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the safety assessment of a water purifier when water leaks due to inappropriate maintenance and the examination of the cause of accidents related to the leak. Due to its inspection and management by non-specialists, if a leak occurs in a water purifier with the water level controller being inclined, it may result in the failure of the compressor, power supply line, PCB, etc. The analysis of the thermal diffusion pattern of water purifier compressors using a thermal image camera shows that its maximum temperature was approximately $80^{\circ}C$. In addition, its operating current was a maximum of 13 A and the system's operating current was approximately 1.7 A after the compressor was charged. It was found that the housing type power cable cover of the compressor had the effect of preventing electric shock but has poor flame resistance. Furthermore, the performance of the overload protector, PTC relays, etc., was excellent but they have potential for problems as metallic terminals were exposed, resulting in the potential of a safety related accident. The terminals and their surface damaged by the tracking showed a trace of carbonization and the resistance between terminals was measured to be approximately $8{\Omega}$. In addition, while the tracking was proceeding, the fuse and circuit breaker installed for system protection did not operate.

Photovoltaic systems normally use a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique to continuously deliver the highest possible power to the load when variations in the insolation and temperature occur. A simple method of tracking the maximum power points (MPPs) and forcing the boost converter system to operate close to these points is presented through deriving small-signal model and transfer function of boost converter. This paper aims at modeling boost converter including equivalent series resistance of input reservoir capacitor by state-space-averaging method. In the future, properly designed controller for compensation will be constructed for maximum photovoltaic power tracking control.

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) and bioelectrochemical systems are novel bioprocesses which employ exoelectrogenic biofilm on electrode as a biocatalyst for electricity generation and various useful chemical production. Previous reports show that electrogenic biofilms of MFCs are time varying systems and dynamically interactive with the electrically conductive media (carbon paper as terminal electron acceptor). It has been reported that maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method can automatically control load by algorithm so that increase power generation and columbic efficiency. In this study, we developed logic based control strategy for external load resistance by using $LabVIEW^{TM}$ which increases the power production with using flat-plate MFCs and MPPT circuit board. The flat-plate MFCs inoculated with anaerobic digester sludge were stabilized with fixed external resistance from $1000{\Omega}$ to $100{\Omega}$. Automatic load control with MPPT started load from $52{\Omega}$ during 120 hours of operation. MPPT control strategy increased approximately 2.7 times of power production and power density (1.95 mW and $13.02mW/m^3$) compared to the initial values before application of MPPT (0.72 mW and $4.79mW/m^3$).

This paper describes the results of characteristics on the tracking resistance, hydrophobicity and dielectric properties of silicone rubbers used for outdoor insulation with ozone ageing. The tracking and ozone ageing tests for this purpose ware made in according to IEC 587 and ASTM D 1149, respectively. Additionally, we investigated the surface structure of the silicone rubbers with FT-IR and SEM. From the test results, it is proven that the higher the degree of ozon ageing, the worse tracking characteristics.

Using as an alternate of insulating material for outdoor and cable, however, it has still many problems to be solved in the field of material such as resistances of environment and tracking. In this paper, Tracking property of PVC filled with aluminum hydroxide have been investigated by ASTM D 2303 method. It was found that time to track of PVC filled aluminum hydroxide was longer than that of unfilled PVC. Tensile strength and elongation of PVC were decreases increased with aluminum hydroxide contents. On the other hand, Thermegravimetry of PVC decreased. Therefore, the increase of time to tracking breakdown by antitracking additive can be explained by increased degradation temperature of polymer.

Effects of carbon black species and concentration on the mechanical and electrical properties of alumina trihydrate filled EPDM compounds were investigated. Mechanical properties improved with increasing carbon black concentration, and these effects were prominent in carbon blacks haying large specific area. In the case of non-conductive carbon black. tracking resistance improved when a small amount of carbon black was added to EPDM. Conductive carbon black showed detrimental effect to dielectric losses, volume resistivity and tracking resistance of EPDM compound.

Influences of carbon black contents on the tracking resistance, tan $\delta$ and dielectric constant volume resistivity and dielectric strength of EPDM compounds before and after a exposure to UV radiation were investigated. Carbon black content up to 1.5 phr have a positive effect to improve the resistance to tracking and erosion, since carbon black diminish the leakage current. Results from the study reveal that both tan $\delta$ and dielectric constant volume resistivity and dielectric strength are unaffected by adding of carbon black up to 2.0 phr and carbon black have a significant effect to suppress the photo-degradation of EPDM compounds.

Electrical properties such as tracking resistance, dielectric constant, $tan\delta$, and volume resistivity, and mechanical properties such as tensile, and strength, and % elongation were measured with the alumina trihydrate filled with EPDM. The results were dicussed in terms of the effect of hydroxyl group. The test results show that the tracking resistance of EPDM improves with the increase in ATH content, whereas volume resistivity, dielectric constant, $tan\delta$ decrease wi th increasing ATH content due to polar nature of ATH. In the charge accumulation characteristics, the homocharge is formed in pure EPDM, and as the ATH content increases in the EPDM compound, the amount of homocharge decrease.
