Abstract

Conventional Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCBs) have defects of a breaking failure or a long breaking-time against parallel arc current. In this paper, breaking characteristics of conventional ELCBs were analyzed by simulation of parallel arc in a low-voltage indoor wiring system, and an air-core current sensor and a signal converter being most available for parallel arc detection were developed and applied to a conventional ELCB. The proposed tripped the ELCB regardless of the location of parallel arc. The breaking-time was in ranges of $1.74{\sim}8.3[ms]$ depending on the phase of arc generation, which is about 5 times as fast as conventional ELCBs with the breaking-time of 50[ms].

기존의 누전차단기는 병렬아크에 대해서 차단을 실패하거나 차단시간이 결어지는 결함이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 저압 옥내배선 계통에서 병렬아크를 모의하여 기존 누전차단기의 차단특성을 분석하고, 병렬아크 검출에 적합한 공심형 전류센서와 신호변환회로를 설계하여 기존 방식의 누전차단기에 적용하였다. 제안한 방식은 병렬아크의 발생위치와 관계없이 누전차단기를 동작시켰으며, 차단시간은 아크가 발생한 위상에 따라 $1.74{\sim}8.3[ms]$의 범위로 기존 차단기에 비해 약 5배 빠른 특성이다.
