Abstract

It is reported that about 20 % of all fires in Korea are caused by the electric equipment and installations. In complex and large-scale buildings, the sizes of electric fires are becoming larger as property damage and casualties increase. Among the causes of various electric fires, fire by short circuit accounts for about 71.5% of overall fires, and in the classification by electric equipment and installation, fire caused by wiring and wiring equipment accounts for approximately 38.3% of overall fires. The purpose of this study is to propose methods to prevent electric fires due to short circuit by improving indoor wiring currently in use and to find the fundamental measures to prevent wiring equipment caused fires by improving the socket and plug which are commonly used in wiring equipment. It is expected that the electric fire prevention measures presented through this study can be used as a measure to protect many people and properties by eliminating the root cause of electric fire.

국내에서 발생하는 화재사고 중 약 20%가 전기설비에서 기인한 화재로 확인되고 있다. 복잡하고 대형화되어있는 건축물에서 전기화재는 재산 피해와 인명 피해가 증가하면서 대형화하는 양상으로 발생하고 있다. 여러 가지 전기화재의 원인 중 누전에 의한 발화가 약 71.5%를 차지하고 있고, 전기설비별 분류에서는 배선 및 배선기구에서 발생하는 화재가 약 38.3%를 차지하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 현재 사용되고 있는 옥내배선 형태를 개선하여 누전으로 인한 전기화재를 예방하는 방법을 제시하고, 배선기구에서 범용 되고 있는 콘센트와 플러그를 개선하여 배선기구에서 발생하는 화재를 예방하는 근원적 방안을 찾고자 한다. 본 연구를 통해서 제시되는 전기화재 예방대책은 전기화재의 근원적 원인을 제거하여 많은 인명과 재산을 보호하는 대책으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
