This paper is studied on a novel Electric Safety Protection Device (ESPD) of high speed for incapable operation of Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELB) and Molded_case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) using the low voltage distribution line. The major causes of electrical fire are classified to short circuit fault, overload fault, electric leakage and electric contact failure. The occurrence factor of the fire is electric arc or spark accompanied with electrical faults. Residual Current Protective Device (RCD), that is ELB and MCCB, of high sensitivity type used at low voltage wiring cuts off earth leakage and overload, but the RCD can't cut off electric arc or spark to be a major factor of electrical fire. As the RCDs which are applied low voltage distribution panel are prescribed to rated breaking time about 30[ms] (KS C 4613), the RCDs can't perceive to the periodic electric arc or spark of more short wavelength level. To be improved on such problem, this research development is proposed to a novel ESPD of high speed to trip of distribution line on electric arc or spark due to electrical fire. Some experimental results of the proposed ESPD are confirmed to the validity of the analytical results.

전기화재의 주된 원인은 단락 및 과부하 사고, 누전 및 접촉불량 등으로 구분되며, 화재의 발생요인은 이들 사고에서 동반되는 아크나 스파크로 인한 화재가 대다수이다. 저압배전선로에 사용되는 고감도형 누전차단기는 누전과 과부하를 검출하여 차단하는 기능은 있으나, 전기화재의 직접적인 위험요소인 아크나 스파크 현상에 대한 차단기능은 없는 것으로 분석된다. 이것은 저압 분전반에 적용되는 누전차단기의 경우 정격차단시간이 30[ms](KS C 4613)로 정해져 있어, 더욱 낮은 레벨로 주기적으로 발생되는 아크나 스파크를 감지하지 못하기 때문이다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 전기화재에 기인되는 아크나 스파크에 대해 누전차단기를 트립시키는 보조제어장치를 제안하고, 제안된 보조제어장치의 이론적 해석과 실험측정을 통해 그 타당성을 입증시킨다.

The major causes of electrical fire are classified to short circuit fault, overload fault, electric leakage and electric contact failure. The principal factor of the fire is electric arc or spark accompanied with such electric faults. Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELB) and Molded_case Circuit Breaker (MCCB), that is, Residual Current Protective Devices (RCDs) used on low voltage distribution lines cut off earth leakage and overload, but the RCD can not cut off electric arc or spark to be a major factor of electrical fire. As the RCDs which are applied in low voltage distribution panel are prescribed to rated breaking time about 30[ms] (KS C 4613), the RCDs can't perceive to the periodic electric arc or spark of more short wavelength level. To improve such problems, this paper studies on an arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) using the distorted voltage wave in electric arc faults. The proposed voltage sensing type AFCI is an electrical fire prevention apparatus of new conception that operates a circuit breaker with sensing the instantaneous voltage drop of line voltage at electrical faults occurrence. The proposed AFCI is composed of control circuit topology using some semiconductor switching devices. Some experimental tests of the proposed AFCI confirm practicality and the validity of the analytical results.

According to 2013 fire statistical yearbook in the National Emergency Management Agency, the main cause of an electrical fire are classified to short circuit fault, overload fault, electric leakage, partial disconnection, and joint/contact badness. The occurrence factor of fire is electric arc or spark accompanied with electrical faults. Residual Current Protective Devices(RCDs) of high sensitivity type used at single phase (220V) cut off earth leakage and overload but the RCDs can not cut off electric arc or spark to be a main cause of electrical fire. To be improved on such problem, this thesis is proposed to a auxiliary control device for RCD cut off electric arc or spark.

An arc/spark detector (ASD) was developed is to early detect wire failures and insecure connections that may lead to fire in residents and commercial and industrial facilities. A detailed circuit design for ASD implementation along with prototype product is reported. The tests of ASD, which were successful in phase identification, in many different arc/spark locations under different loadings, and in false alarm probability, showed the ability and capability of the state-of-the-art detector in the electric fire hazard prevention.

현재 저압 배선 선로에 있어서 단선 사고로 인해 발생하는 스파크와 열은 전기화재의 주요 원인이 되고 있다. 또한 단선사고 시 발생하는 전류는 일종의 써지(Surge) 전류가 되어 통신, 가전제품, 컴퓨터 그리고 각종 측정기기의 소손 및 고장을 일으키며, 특히 단선사고는 다양한 안전점검 시 발견이 매우 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 누전차단기(Earth Leakage Breaker)의 보조 제어장치, 즉 전기화재예방 제어장치(Electrical Fire Prevention Control Device)를 개발하여, 상기 단선사고 시 누전차단기의 동작신뢰성을 제고시켜, 스파크 및 열에 의한 전기화재를 예방하고자 한다.

The major causes of electrical fire are classified to short circuit fault, overload fault, electric leakage and electric contact failure. The occurrence factor of the fire is electric arc or spark accompanied with such electric faults, specially short circuit faults. Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELB) and Molded_case Circuit Breaker (MCCB), that is, Residual Current Protective Devices (RCDs) used on low voltage distribution lines cut off earth leakage and overload, but the RCD can not cut off electric arc or spark to be a major factor of electrical fire. As the RCDs which are applied in low voltage distribution panel are prescribed to rated breaking time about 30ms(KS C 4613), the RCDs can't perceive to the periodic electric arc or spark of more short wavelength level. To improve such problem, this paper proposes a prevention apparatus using the line voltage drop of neutral wire and some semiconductor switching devices. Some experimental tests of the proposed apparatus confirm the validity of the analytical results.
