우리나라의 실내의 배전로는 접지방식(Grounded System)이 일반적이고, 전로의 일선 지락 시에는 누전전류 차단기 혹은 과전류 차단기에 의해 전로를 차단하여 전기적인 사고 예방을 도모하고 있다. 그러나, 생명 유지 장치(Life-Sustaining Equipment)를 사용하고 있는 수술실 등 의료실의 배전 계통에 있어서의 전로의 차단은 치명적인 사고를 유발 할 수 있다. 이에 비하여, 비접지 배선방식(Isolated Power System)은 일선 지락 시에도 지락 전류 ((Ground-Fault Current)를 현저히 적게 할 수 있기 때문에 전원 공급은 계속되어 질 수 있다. 그러므로, 전원 공급의 높은 신뢰성이 요구되는 의료용 전기기기의 회로에는 비접지배선 방식으로 시설토록 규정 하고 있다. 또한, 지락 전류가 현저히 적기 때문에 선로 절연 감지기(Line Isolation Monitor)를 설치하여 의료진이나, 환자를 누설 전류에 의한 전기적 쇼크(Electrical Shock)를 방지하는 시스템이다.

주택용 분전반내의 과부하 차단기(MCCB)나 누전차단기(ELCB)들은 전류 RMS 크기만을 가지고 고장전류를 인식하기 때문에 아크고장전류를 차단하지 못해, 수용가들은 전기화재로 인한 심각한 인명피해나 재산상의 손실을 자주 경험할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해소하기 위해 아크진단 기능을 가지는 지능형 분전반을 제안하고자 한다. 특히 여기에서는 아크고장 진단 기능을 고려한 지능형 분전반의 단상 전력관리 모듈 설계연구를 주 목적으로 한다.

최근 전력전자 기기와 같은 비선형 부하의 증가로 계통에서 고조파 발생 가능성은 점점 높아지는 추세이다 이러한 계통의 고조파는 부하 설비 중 누전차단기 오동작 및 과부하 등의 원인이 되므로 전기설비 안전 측면에서 중요하게 다루어질 필요가 있다. 고조파에 대한 해결책으로는 수동필터 및 능동전력필터를 들 수 있는데 본 연구에서는 기존의 3상 풀브리지 스위칭 회로를 이용한 능동필터에 비해 안정성 및 대용량 시스템 구성에 유리한 모듈형 능동 전력 필터를 제안하였다.

In this paper, we introduced high quality earth leakage breaker(ELB). We improved performances of the ELB by strengthening the environmental stress. We suggested that it have the electromagnetic noise filter, finally high sensitive ZCT for asymmetric fault conditions (including do component).

This paper deals with the optimal use of the ELB (Electric Leakage circuit Breaks) for the protection of low voltage distribution system. Since the ELB is recently used together for grounding fault while only the ground resistance was used in the past, the analysis of ELB characteristics is indispensible. By the quantitative analysis and the setting of limit the ground resistance and the ELB is derived and then the optimal use of the ELB is expected to contribute to the system protection.

Recently, the spark and the overheat due to in the failure of pressure contacts on connecting points and the momentary short circuit have been the major causes of electrical fire because these may cause the deposition and the graphite of insulating materials in electrical wiring system. Also, because in these cases the current is a surge one, the losses and faults of a communication, a home appliances, a computer and a measuring instrument may occur. Especially, in such cases, we are very difficult to detect the failure of pressure contacts on connecting points and the momentary short circuit. In this paper, we have developed an auxiliary control device, the electrical fire prevention control device(EFPCD), of an earth leakage breaker(ELB). And we can pre-vent the electrical fire caused by the spark and the overheat occurring in the failure of pressure contacts in connecting points and the momentary short circuit with the EFPCD.

The conventional Residual Current Protective Devices(RCD, or earth leakage circuit breaker, ELB) operates depending on the total leakage current which is the vector-sum of resistive and capacitive components of a leakage current. However, the electric disaster such as electric shock or fire is mainly caused by the resistive component. Therefore, in this view point, the RCD is more realistic when it operates by the resistive component of the leakage current. In this paper, a new algorithm for measuring the resistive leakage current from the total leakage current is suggested, and is realized to an actual circuit. According to the suggested algorithm, the resistive component of the leakage current can be found by integrating the total leakage current over only a half cycle of the line voltage, and it is realized by using analog switches and resettable integrators. It is confirmed through experiments that the suggested algorithm detects, within maximum average error of 6.74%, the resistive leakage current from the total leakage current, and the RCD employing the suggested algorithm brakes the circuit within the regular interrupt time(30msec).

The former earth leakage breaker is operating by total leakage current which is the vector-sum of resistive leakage current and capacitive leakage current. However, the electric disaster like the electric shock and fire is caused mainly by resistive leakage current. Therefore, the earth leakage breaker is ideal when it is operating by resistive leakage current. In this paper, the theory for finding the component of resistive leakage current from total leakage current is suggested and it is embodied to actual circuit. The resistive leakage current can be found by integrating the total leakage current during half cycle of line voltage. Thus, we can simply find resistive leakage current by using OP-AMP integrators, and we can confirm that the resistive leakage current is computed exactly from total leakage current obtained by resistive leakage current and capacitive leakage current. The results that the earth leakage breaker is operating within regular interrupt time are verified when the former earth leakage breaker's controller circuit is replaced by the proposed controller circuit.
