This paper proposed intelligent motor control system that replaced smart motor devices, such as motor protection relays, smart circuit breakers and variable speed drives, with one integrated module to perform efficient motor control at industrial sites. The proposed intelligent motor control system provides easy monitoring of critical data for each motor or load connected to an intelligent motor control system over a CIP(Common Industrial Protocol)-based network, which enables accurate process control at all times, real-time access to fault information and records to simplify diagnosis and minimize equipment downtime.

This paper describes the analysis of the effect on personnel computer in case of turning off power supply of main breaker in general electrical installation. In order to analyze the effect on personnel computer in case of turning off the power supply of main breaker, the switching impulse generator has been designed and fabricated which makes it possible to evaluate the effect on electrical product by switching impulse. The switching impulse tests were carried out for personnel computer according to applied voltage and number of switching impulse. As a consequence, switching impulse had not a significant influence on personnel computer in this study. The varistor of power input section functions as a protection of switching impulse as well as lightning impulse. The results will be used to related organization, and electrical product manufacturer, and residents.

In the hazardous areas where explosive gases, vapor or mists exist, electrical apparatus and installations must be the explosion-proof construction to prevent or limit the danger of the ignition of potentially explosive atmosphere. In Korea, nine types of protection have been specified in the government regulations at present: flameproof enclosure, pressurization, oil immersion, increased safety, intrinsic safety, non-incendive, powder filling, encapsulation, and special types. Among these types, the intrinsic safety has the construction which limit or by-pass igniting the electric energy using electronic devices. This type has lots of merits but at the same time requires a high-degree of technology. In this paper, we investigated several dominating factors which affect the minimum ignition energy; this energy plays a very important role in design and evaluation of the intrinsic safety type electrical apparatus. Electrode material, which is one of the most important factors, was intensively studied for the five sorts of material(Al, Cd, Mg, Sn, and Zn) with performing experiment in a low-voltage inductive circuit using IEC-type(International Electro-technical Commission) spark apparatus. The experimental results show that the minimum ignition energy of electrode material is varied: highest in Cd and lowest in Sn. We also confirmed the effect of electrode make-and-break speed.

A low frequency square wave electronic ballast for the high intensity discharge(HID) lamps using fuzzy logic controller is developed. This electronic ballast consists a buck converter, a low frequency square wave full bridge inverter, a high voltage pulse generator for the HID lamp ignition, an over current protection circuit and an 8-bit microcontroller. The ballast system is operated on the constant current mode during the HID lamp start-up process and the system is operated on the constant power mode during steady state. Experimental results show that the fuzzy logic control operation is carried out successfully by the 8-bit microcontroller PIC16F877 In this electronic ballast system, in spite of the limited control bandwidth caused by low operating speed of the microcontroller, the good performance in the constant lamp current characteristic is obtained. Acoustic resonance of the HID lamps can be effectively avoided because the instantaneous In lamp power is fully constant due to the low frequency square wave drive.

The reliability of a computer system largely depends on that of its memory systems, which are vulnerable to soft errors. Soft errors can be coped with a combination of an Error Detection & Correction circuit and scrubbing operation. Smaller geometries and lower voltage of advanced memories makes them more prone to suffer multibit soft errors. A memory structure against multibit soft errors and a suitable scrubbing scheme for it were proposed. This paper introduces a key issue for the scrubbing of the memories with protection against multibit soft errors and the result of the performance analysis from a reliability point of view.

본 논문에서는 램프가 한개 이상 개방 시 피드백 제어 회로를 동작하지 않도록 하면서, 램프를 보호할 수 있는 개방전압을 출력하는 LCD 백라이트 구동용 인버터 회로도에 관한 것이다. 램프 개방전압 출력을 위한 회로는 램프 전류 피드백 블록, 개방전압시 이상신호를 감지하는 전압 피드백 블록, 램프 개수에 상관없이 최고치 값을 감지하는 블록으로 되어 있다. 전술한 회로가 내장된 인버터는 램프의 개방 시 램프의 개수 상관없이 CCFL의 보호 스펙인 2500V의 개방전압을 출력한다. 이러한 인버터가 내장된 LCD패널은 향상된 안정화 동작을 구현하게 된다.

Inverter is classified into voltage source and current source by the circuit's configuration. VSI (voltage source inverter) has the excellent generality, economical effects and high power-factors. CSI (current source inverter) is proper to frequent acceleration and deceleration of induction motor, the energy recovering accomplished to ac power line without any other device. But CSI inverter have some troubles such that the numbers of components are increased and the circuits are complicated. To solve these problems, a new inverter is proposed in this paper. This method gives protection of inverters when appears both an instantaneous load-open circuits and an instantaneous load-short circuits, and it has the both merits of both VSI and CSI.

Floating p-well 전압 감지를 이용한 시간 지연 회로를 적용하여 punch-though형 절연 게이트 바이폴라 트랜지스터 (PT-IGBT)의 최적화된 보호 회로를 제안하였다. Floating P-well 축전기와 게이트 저항은 정상 스위칭 동작시 단락 회로 감지 동작 (false detection of fault)을 차단하며, floating p-well 전압은 단락회로 상황시 풀-다운 (pull-down) MOSFET의 문턱 전압 이상으로 상승되어 풀-다운 MOSFET을 턴-온(turn-on) 시킴으로서 IGBT의 게이트 전압을 감소시킨다. 이에 따라 IGBT의 컬렉터 전류는 자연스럽게 감소된다. 실험 결과를 통해, 단락회로 상황에서 최적화된 IGBT의 보호회로가 소프트-셧다운 (soft-shutdown) 특성을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

Lightning is one of hazards affecting the rapid-transit railway system. There are two effects, which are direct lightning surge to electric car line and induced lightning surge. Protection methods for the direct lightning surge are studied with various occasions, however, study of induced lightning surge is insufficient in spite of a large or small effects. In this paper, it is analysed the way that serge voltage is induced to electric car line by lightning strikes. By modeling the propagation process and the coupling phenomenon of electromagnetic wave produced by lightning strikes, it is achieved to make integrative circuit model combined with existing electric car model. The study is conducted into three different waveform of electromagnetic wave produced by lightning; rectangular wave, double exponential distribution wave, triangle wave. It is also simulated that the inducing serge is coupled to electric car line in an arbitrary location. The simulation results in that, when rapidly changing rectangular wave is supplied, maximum power is induced to electric car line.

To analyze the effectiveness of the resistive leakage current monitoring as a technology preventing electrical accidents, in this paper, we have estimated the phase of the body impedance by using the body impedance model and the body impedance data from IEC. We also have analyzed the phase of the electric body current in the case of 60Hz/220V. From these results, we concluded that deliberate researches about the phase of the electrical body current and related regulations must be carried out before the resistive leakage current monitoring unit is used to protect electric shock. And we concluded that the resistive leakage current monitoring unit can be utilized to prevent electrical fires caused by electric leakage current without unwanted circuit break due to capacitive leakage current flowing from line filter capacitors to the earth.
