  • A conductor has been produced according to IEC standard and low voltage electrical facility has been installed according to IEC 60364. So we must comply with international standard for design, construction and inspection. 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 calculation method of protective conductor cross-sectional area at TN-S system according to BS 7671 regulation and KS C IEC 60364 standard.

  • This paper presents the electric shock hazards and solutions of loss of the combined protective and neutral (PEN) conductor in TN-C-S system. In order to mitigate the touch voltage on exposed-conductive-parts in a break in the PEN conductor, the touch voltages on exposed-conductive-parts in a break in the PEN conductor were experimentally investigated as a function of the ground resistances of the source grounding electrode and customer's additional grounding electrode. As a result, the equipotential bonding is one of important requirements for installations supplied by TN-C-S system. A solution of mitigating the touch voltages on exposed-conductor-parts caused by a loss of the PEN conductor would be the installation of the additional grounding electrode at the customer's service entrance. The ground resistance of additional grounding electrode necessary to limit the touch voltage to a safety voltage of less than 50[V] depends on the load and circuit parameters. In addition, the undervoltage sensing devices oner affordable solutions to detect a loss of the PEN conductor in TN-C-S system.

  • When the ground fault on the power side occurs on distribution system interconnected with distributed generations, the abnormal current is generated in the neutral conductor by the connection type and the iron core structure of transformers for the interconnection of distributed power supplies due to the unbalanced voltage of the system, and subsequently the false operation of the protective relay on the load side occurs. Herein, this paper proposes the method to correct errors in the phase current to prevent the false operation of the protective relay by applying p-q theory and presents the simulation result of the error correction algorithm using PSCAD/EMTDC.

  • In electric power supply systems, an earthing system determines the electric potential of the conductors related to that of the Earth's surface. The choice of earthing system has implications for the safety of the power supply systems. There are considerably different regulations for earthing (grounding) systems in each country. A protective earth(PE) conductor ensures that all exposed conductive surfaces are at the same electric potential as the earth surface. This paper deals with that when PEN conductor of TN-C-S system is disconnected, dangerous touch voltage causes personnel body to be harmed and human being's property to be damaged seriously. For this reason, this paper explains how serious problems can occur when the fault current flows. As a consequence, we can understand how we can design earthing system properly to ensure the personnel safety against earth faults. The result shows the way that TN-C-S system can be applied safely in Korea.

  • In this study, measurement of thermal conductivity of multilayer thin dielectric film has been conducted via differential 3$\omega$ method. Also, verification of differential 3$\omega$ method has been accomplished with various proposed criteria. The target film for measurement is 300 nm silicon dioxide and this thin film is covered with various thicknesses of upper protective layer. The upper protective layer is inserted between the target film and the heater line for purpose of electrical insulator or anti-oxidation barrier since the target film may be a good electrical conductor or a well-oxidizing material. However, the verification of differential 3$\omega$ method has not been conducted. Thus we have shown that the measurement of thermal conductivity of thin films with upper protective layer via differential 3$\omega$ method is verified to be reliable as long as the proposed preconditions are satisfied. Experimental results show that the experimental errors tend to increase with aspect ratio between upper protective layer thickness and width of the heater line due to heat spreading effect.
