The primary goal of this study is to analyze fire hazards of electric home appliances such as electric iron and electric heater using fault tree analysis(FTA). A fault tree(FT) is constructed and used to analyze fire hazards in electric home appliances. The fault tree is built from events that may occur in electric home appliances. The failure rate of basic events are derived from the value of experimental results and reference. And an algorithm analyzing fire in electric home appliances is suggested. We show how fault tree analysis, carried out by means of failure rate, is able to diagnose fire hazards of electric home appliances in a precise manner. We present numerical results such as fire probability of electric home appliances, importance measure, fire cause, etc. It can be helpful in preventing the fire hazards in electric home appliances.

In this paper, the magnetic fields measured experimentally from the electric home appliances were evaluated and the data were discussed on the bases of the international institutes recommendations. It is difficult to insulate magnetic flux completely from electric home appliances and impossible to simulate theoretically because of the different directions and magnitudes of magnetic fields according to the internal current of electric home appliances. The experimental measurements of magnetic flux density were carried out according to the increment of distance in the vicinity of electric home appliances. The magnetic flux density produced by the electric home appliances was drastically dropped with the increment of distance. The measured and analysed results of electric home appliances of 15 including computer monitor, TV, etc. were presented.

In this paper, a digital home electric overload alarm system based on DSP for smart home automation which can minimize electrical fire damage caused by an home electrical overload was made experimentally. To verify the validity of the home electrical overload alarm technology, an electric overload alarm performance evaluation system which can artificially generate the electrical overloads was designed, developed, and constructed, and the effectiveness of the overload alarm developed by the overload test was verified. In particular, an overload test EMTP model based on EMTP-RV was developed, and simulation and measurement results obtained from the overload test were compared, and the reliability of overload performance verification results was confirmed.

As the economy has grown and the main industry in Korea has been changed from secondary industry to tertiary industry, the importance of indoor environment has been a matter of common concern, in which one of the main concerns is to improve the indoor acoustic conditions. However, even though this is required more than before, there are no measures to protect the human being from the noise of electric home appliances. This is owing to the absence of the data about sound power level of electric home appliances. So, we investigate the sound power level of them and analyze the acoustical characteristics of each one. First, we tried to investigate the sound power measurement method of each electric home appliance. After it we test the sound power level of them. From the survey, we can know that the vacuum cleaner is the most noisy electric home appliance, and the refrigerator is the least noisy one. The noise of a range hood is distributed over a wide range frequency. Lastly, we intented to propose the proper method measuring sound power level on each electric home appliance.

Recently, the interior design of electric home appliance stores requires comprehensive image management with systemic marketing strategies and consistence in order to attract consumers to purchase products. However, the environment of domestic electric home appliance stores is complex and confused by indiscreet design factors and operation. Despite of the fact that company costs a lot of money to manage each store, consumers are not provided with selling environment with high quality. On the other hand, it is inevitable to compete with foreign specialized stores and discount malls due to opening distribution market. Besides, company has faced to attract customers with distinct strategies in order to survive in various competition system. In this sense, in store environment, there should be consistent image in interior design of the store based on management ideology of the company for the successful management of electric home appliance stores. The purpose of this research is to investigate and analyze the case of Samsung Electronics's electric home appliance stores among domestic electric home appliance stores that is applied with Store Identity Program (hereafter SIP) and to suggest solutions for the problems. Therefore, it is purposed to use as references for the stores that has the similar interior design plan. The result of this study is to upgrade the store image through providing basic data about role of data and distinct factors for competitive design as a part of Store Identity Strategy. Furthermore, it can be important data to optimize the profits and to make positive space for both consumer and company as company and products are credible with mental satisfaction of consumers if there is enough study on SIP and process and symbol of company and products to consumers, enough recognition and improvement on problems.

Recently, as interest in eco-friendliness grows, the supply of hybrid electric vehicles and pure electric vehicles (EVs) for improving fuel efficiency of automobiles is rapidly expanding. The average daily energy consumption of electric vehicles is less than 20 [%] of the total ESS capacity of the vehicle, and research on additional functions using the ESS of the vehicle is urgently needed to expand the supply of electric vehicles. V2H(Vehicle to Home), like V2G(Vehicle to Grid), includes the concept of cooperating with system stabilization using ESS of electric vehicles. In addition, it includes various operations that can realize home welfare, such as uninterrupted power supply in case of power outage at home, and power supply for home DC devices. Therefore, in order to expand the supply of eco-friendly electric vehicles, it is urgently required to develop a V2H system with various functions that can realize home welfare. In this paper, we propose a V2H system with a CLLC resonant converter and a non-isolated step-up converter that can solve different impedance and resonant frequencies depending on the power transfer direction. The proposed V2H system is 6 [kVA] applicable to 150-450 [V], the voltage range that can use the ESS voltage for electric vehicles, and is designed with a capacity that can handle instantaneous electricity use at home. In addition, in order to verify the feasibility, an experiment by Psim simulation and prototype production was performed.

Home-network gateway always powered on, while network data is not transferred. And the Power consumption of networked electric devices are greatly increased, to support higher speed data transfer. To reduce the power consumption of networked electric devices, some ideas were proposed. Such as ALR, Proxying, Subset-PHY. In this paper we propose a scheme to reduce power consumption of Home-Network Gateway. Proposed Home-network Gateway architecture consumes less than 1W in passive standby mode.

We developed a home electric panel board with surge protection device to protect home electric appliances from transient overvoltages and electromagnetic(EM) noise. In this paper, electrical characteristics of the home electric panel board are described. From the performance test using a combination surge generator standardized in IEC 610004-5, it is confirmed that the proposed home panel board has an excellent surge protection performance. Also, EM noise reduction characteristics of the panel board in ranges from 150 kHz to 30 MHz is estimated by using a network analyser, and the results showed that the panel board has an over 20 45 noise reduction performance.
