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].

태양광 발전시스템에서 발생되는 누설전류에 인하여 누전화재와 인체감전 등의 전기재해를 방지하기 위해서 직류누전차단기를 개발하였다. 직류누설전류를 측정할 수 있는 센서를 개발하여 (+)전선로와 (-)전선로에 흐르는 누설전류를 각각 검출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법과 개발된 센서를 이용하여 시작품을 제작하고 센서에 대한 감도전류 특성시험을 수행하였다. 또한 인버터가 포함되어 있는 태양광 발전시스템에 적용하여 실제 나타나는 직류누설전류를 측정하는 시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 직류누설전류센서의 정확성을 확인하였으며, 전선로에 흐르는 직류 및 교류성분의 누설전류를 ${\pm}5%$ 범위 내에서 측정함을 확인하였다. 개발된 센서를 적용한 태양광 발전용 직류누전차단기를 제작하였다.

More than 70% of the electric fire cases happen in this country are caused by arc. This paper aims to prepare measures of preventing electric fires resulted from arc by analyzing the technical standards and related regulations on the existing circuit breaker. Based on the study, we concluded that the technical and legal standards of the arc detector should be separately regulated from those of existing circuit breaker, considering the characteristics of arc detectors. Accordingly, we suggested in this paper that the arc detector related regulations should either be added to the existing circuit breaker related regulations, or to be handled separately. For effective prevention of electric fires caused by arc, it is urgently required to install arc detector and it is, therefore, appropriate to make it mandatory to install an arc detector. Under the given circumstance, it is suggested that the arc detector related regulations should be added to the existing regulations for the circuit breaker. The technical standards of arc detectors should reflect the arc judgement specification, breaking threshold of arc and the range of unnecessary signal that breaker should not react to respond.
