The electrical fire frequently happens through carelessness of a vinyl and rubber cords such as a poor contact, a mechanical stress and so on. Electrical fire occupies the greater part(about 30%) of all fires in Korea. In this paper, we compared to the fire dispersive patterns of vinyl and rubber cords according to the external flame in the wall-model. The fire progress and dispersive patterns were measured by a high speed imaging system(HG-100K, REDLAKE, USA). From the results, short-circuit of the vinyl cords are easy to happen than the rubber cords by the external flame. The pattern of fire was progressed a flashover, scattering and disconnection. The fire progress on the vinyl cord is not observed because the ignition energy decreases. However, the fire was progressed continuously on the rubber cord.

In this paper, we studied risk assessments of electrical fire and shock of LED lightings for outdoor. We examined national regulations about the LED lighting for outdoor and analyzed the appearances and compositions of LED lightings. And, We experimented about water proof, line to line fault, line to line breakdowm, overvoltage, line to line leakage in overhead line or water of LED lighting. From experimental results, we know that there are risks of electrical fire and shock by abnormal conditions at the LED lighting. Therefore, the uses of protective devices and insulated type of converter are required for the electrical safety. We expect that the results of this study would be helpful for the improvement of regulations and standards for electrical safety and for the investigations of electrical accidents of LED lightings.

If it were the occurrence of fire by electricity with the rapid growth of economy, it would be serious damage for nation that effect human life and properties. To prevent electrical fires, it was basic countermeasure that make detail statistics classified by the source, place etc. with examining correct cause of fire. In this paper, we analuzed the present condition of fire occurrence of the lastest ten years and classified fires by the source, place, month in 2006. In addition our corporation staff execute in-depth and professional research on the actual state of electrics fire by visiting fire stations fire of the whole country for 8,554 electric fires in 2005. I expect this thesis to be used for preventing electric fires and providing a stepping stone on correct production of fire statistics.

In this study, we experimented and analyzed deterioration characteristics of outlets and power cord sets caused by poor contact. Electrical waveforms were measured according to load size and elapsed time. After that, surface structure and deteriorated characteristics of conductive materials and insulators were analyzed. We hope that the results will be applicable to electrical fire prevention and accidents analysis.

There is not high level to fire number in stables, but if it were fire, there would be happened many property damage in a national or personal. We grasp safety awareness of a safety supervisor enforcing question survey of electric installation for national stables, and investigate use the actual condition of electric installment with a heating apparatus, a ventilating system, a distributing board, a wiring apparatus etc high fire dangerousness among electric installment using a stables I hope to make use of data to protect a electric fire submitted thesis.

Heat release characteristics of live fire load are an important parameter for performance oriented fire safety design of a building. While investigations have been carried out on the fire load and its burning behavior in office, residential and commercial buildings and so on, little effort has been paid for the rational treatment of fire load in bookstore. In this report, burning behavior of typical combustible objects in bookstore are studied by measuring heat release rates of bookshelf with book.
