The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the safety assessment of a water purifier when water leaks due to inappropriate maintenance and the examination of the cause of accidents related to the leak. Due to its inspection and management by non-specialists, if a leak occurs in a water purifier with the water level controller being inclined, it may result in the failure of the compressor, power supply line, PCB, etc. The analysis of the thermal diffusion pattern of water purifier compressors using a thermal image camera shows that its maximum temperature was approximately $80^{\circ}C$. In addition, its operating current was a maximum of 13 A and the system's operating current was approximately 1.7 A after the compressor was charged. It was found that the housing type power cable cover of the compressor had the effect of preventing electric shock but has poor flame resistance. Furthermore, the performance of the overload protector, PTC relays, etc., was excellent but they have potential for problems as metallic terminals were exposed, resulting in the potential of a safety related accident. The terminals and their surface damaged by the tracking showed a trace of carbonization and the resistance between terminals was measured to be approximately $8{\Omega}$. In addition, while the tracking was proceeding, the fuse and circuit breaker installed for system protection did not operate.

최근 가정이나 산업용 건물에서 컴퓨터, TV, 냉장고, LED 조명 등 가전기기들의 누전전류에 의한 감전사고가 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 그리고 가정 내 벽면에 설치된 콘센트에 직접 연결되어 제어 하는 누전차단 모듈들은 모듈 후단에 병렬로 연결된 각각의 가전기기들의 누전상태를 확인하기가 쉽지 않다. 또한 전류가 정상적인 전류의 통로 이외로 흐르는 누전전류를 기존의 누전차단기들은 배전함에 설치되어 누전시 전원을 차단해 주는 역할 을 한다. 가전기기의 누전으로 인한 감전, 화재 등 여러 가지 재해가 발생하여 누전전류의 위험성이 심각하게 제시되고 있다. 이에 근거리 무선통신시스템 중에서 저전력과 저가격 면에서 장점이 많은 IEEE 80215.4 기반의 지그비통신을 이용하여 상시 감시할 수 있는 누전상태 모니터링시스템 구현방안을 제시한다.
