A conductor has been produced according to IEC standard and low voltage electrical facility has been installed according to IEC 60364. But because of many related and varied standards, it is difficult to apply to design and inspect for electrical equipment. We researched the necessity of design guide which is detailed and systematization from survey. For detailed design guide, we suggest application method and review items at calculations for voltage drop calculations on low voltage feeder by IEC 60364, BS 7671 standard and Consumer's Electrical Installation Guide.

In this paper, protection coordination between residual current devices and surge protective devices in low-voltage consumer's distribution systems are presented. In the case that a surge protrctive device(SPD) is located on the load side of an residual current device(RCD), when the surge is injected from the source side of the RCD, most of injected surge currents are split into the RCD and the protection coordination between the SPD and RCD is improper, three of 6 specimens experience unintended operation due to test impulse currents. Also when the surges is injected from the load side, a lot of the surge currents is split into the SPD, but a half of test specimens causes nuisance trip. Coordination between SPD and RCD is not valid. When installing SPD, it is important to select SPD after due consideration of the protection voltage level of metal oxide varistor embedded in RCD. It is expected that the results obtained from this work could be useful to improve the protection effects of SPD in low-voltage distribution systems.

주택용 전기 소비자는 태양광 발전기를 대여할 수 있고, 만일 감소된 전기요금이 대여료보다 크다면 수익이 발생할 수 있다. 아직까지 수익의 정확한 함수식은 계산되지 않았는데 본 논문에서 계산했다. 두 가지 가정이 있다. 첫 번째는 대여한 태양광 발전기가 월간 300kWh 발전하는 것이고, 두 번째는 태양광 발전기를 대여할 때 일시불로 362300원 지불한다는 것이다. 함수가 구간에 따라 달라지므로 3개의 구간을 가정하고 각 구간에서의 함수를 유도했다. 유도한 함수에 의해서 기본 7년간 월간 전기 사용량 401~1000kWh 사용하는 저압 주택용 전기요금 소비자의 수익률, 회수 시간, 감도를 계산했다. 본 논문에서 계산된 값에 의해서 월간 전기 사용량 401~1000kWh 사용하는 저압 주택용 전기요금 소비자가 3kW 태양광 발전기를 대여할지 말지 결정할 때 중요한 자료다.

국내의 저압수용가 대부분은 한국전력공사의 TN-C접지방식으로부터 공급받고 있으나 부하설비는 TT 접지방식을 위주로 한 전기설비기술기준에 따라 시설되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 정보기술설비를 뇌서지로부터 보호할 수 있는 적절한 전원계통접지방식을 제안하기 위해서 TT, TN계통의 뇌서지에 대한 보호성능을 연구하였다. 그 결과, 뇌서지가 배전계통의 중성선에 입사한 때 TT계통의 기기접지단자와 전원선의 중성점 사이에 높은 전위차가 발생하였으며, 예민한 컴퓨터설비가 손상될 위험성이 있으므로 TT계통은 적합하지 않다. 뇌서지로부터 저압 설비를 보호하기 위해서는 등전위본딩이 중요한 요건이며, TN계통이 중성선을 통하여 입사하는 뇌서지의 저감에 가장 우수하였으며, 수용가 인입구에서의 추가접지도 바람직한 방법이다.

The power system and control system constantly reveals surge voltage such as switching surge of lighting devices and power conversion devices, operating and stops surge of rotating devices, charge & discharge surge, opening & closing surge of circuit breakers and the like. Such a surge voltages can cause damage or malfunction of the element such as CPU, Memory, semiconductor etc. In the industry, in order to protect the system from the surge voltage, a surge protector with low discharge starting voltage, fast response time, and low capacitance is required, and technical development research for that is ongoing. In this paper, in order to solve the problem of the existing GDT discharge tube not discharging from the transient voltage which is higher than the commercial voltage and lower than the discharge voltage of the discharge element, we have developed a discharge element having the control electrode & control circuit. The discharge element having the control electrode and the control circuit can control the discharge voltage according to the needs of the consumer and can satisfy the requirement of the discharge element and the technology of the surge protector downsizing technology and the surge protection technology. It is judged to be effective for development.

In this paper a modular high performance MV-to-LV rectifier based on a cascaded H-bridge rectifier is presented. The proposed rectifier can directly connect to the medium voltage levels and provide a low-voltage and highly-stable DC interface with the consumer applications. The input stage eliminates the necessity for heavy and bulky step-down transformers. It corrects the input power factor and maintains the voltage balance among the individual DC buses. The second stage includes the high frequency parallel-output DC/DC converters which prepares the galvanic isolation, regulates the output voltage, and attenuates the low frequency voltage ripple ($2f_{line}$) generated by the first stage. The parallel-output converters can work in interleaving mode and the active load-current sharing technique is utilized to balance the load power among them. The detailed analysis for modeling and control of the proposed structure is presented. The validity and performance of the proposed topology is verified by simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents a novel prototype of dual mode control based phase shift ZVS PWM high frequency load resonant inverter with lossless snubber capacitors in addition to a single active auxiliary resonant snubber for electromagnetic induction heating(IH) foam metal based consumer fluid dual packs(DPA) heater. The operating principle in steady state and unique features of this voltage source soft switching high frequency inverter circuit topology are described in this paper. The lossless snubber and auxiliary active resonant snubber assisted constant frequency phase shift ZVS PWM high frequency load resonant inverter employing IGBT power modules actually is capable of achieving zero voltage soft commutation over a widely specified power regulation range from full power to low power. The steady state operating performances of this dual mode phase shift PWM series load resonant high frequency inverter are evaluated and discussed on the basis of simulation and experimental results for induction heated foam metal heater which is designed for compact and high efficient moving fluid heating appliance in the consumer pipeline systems.

In recent years, a cost-effective voltage-source type single-ended resonant-load inverter using MOS gate power switching devices and its related resonant inverter topologies have been commonly used for induction-heated cooking appliances because of relatively-lowered switching losses, simple circuit topology, low cost, compactness and low harmonic current in utility AC side. This paper present some comparative performance evaluations of IGBTs as sample devices in each generation and MOS controlled Thyristor(MCT) incorporated into the voltage-source type single-ended load resonant inverter for induction-heating rice cookers used for consumer power electronic applications, in which the output power can be regulated on the basis of Frequency Modulation Scheme.
