When the fault occurs in power system, the fault-current exceeds breaking capacity of the circuit breaker. So, reliablity of the power system is decreased sharply. Superconducting fault-current limiter (SFCL) is operated without impedance in normal state. The fault-current is limited by its impedance during the fault condition. However, the SFCL has several weak points such as huge size, high-price, liquid-nitrogen operation for the real power system. In this paper, We suggested the high-speed interrupter to limit the fault-current in case of the single line-to-ground fault. In addition, we compared the high-speed interrupter with the SFCL to ensure the operation reliability. The proposed interrupter detected the fault-current through the CT, and the power was supplied by operation of the SCR control system. In this experiment, the power of high-speed interrupter was applied after the 4.8[msec] from fault instant. The on-off operation of the interrupter was started after half-cycle from the fault. The fault-current was flowed into the impedance element by the switching operation of the high-speed interrupter. So, the fault current was limited within one cycle, and then it didnt exceed the capacity of a circuit breaker. We confirmed that there was slight difference between the SFCL with high-speed interrupter in terms of limiting-time of the fault-current and switching speed of the SCR. The high-speed interrupter was considered to be more efficient than the SFCL in size, cost or reliability.

With the increasing power demands, size of the fault current in electrical grids is steadily increasing, and it exceeds the breaking capacity of circuit breakers. To effectively cope with these problems, a high-speed interrupter was suggested. The high-speed interrupter provides fault current with a bypass to a fault current limiter in case of accidents and consequently, fault current can be restricted. In this study, behavioral characteristics of high-speed interrupter were analyzed by accident types occurred in a distribution system. When accidents occurred, a and b contact of the high-speed interrupter were turned-off and then, turned-on. Accordingly, fault current flowed to the circuit connected to a current limiting element, and the fault current limiter restricted fault current to within a half-cycle. Nevertheless, the behavior of the high-speed interrupter was slowed down by a switching surge. As a result, fault current was confirmed to be restricted not to within the anticipated half-cycle, but to after a half-cycle. Moreover, the behavioral characteristics of the high-speed interrupter changed not only by accident types, but by behaviors of R, S, and T phases. This was due to the errors in stroke lengths of the high-speed interrupters, which resulted in a slight time discrepancy among three interrupters. In addition, the switching behaviors of the b and a contact were confirmed not to have coincided due to the switching surge; b contact behaved first and a contact followed. because of this, accuracy of stroke length and switching surges through the solenoid suction increases may be necessary to resolve.

The hazards of electrical shock are well known, but the conventional ground fault circuit breakers did not provide the statis factory safety for human body. Thus this paper considers the standards of performance that they must meet, and describes the new tripping mechanism the operations and the improvements. The experiment at new G.F.C.I. indicates maximum tripping time 25msec minimum sensitive leakage current 25mA and maximum nonaperation leakage current 15mA.

In this paper, arc current controller is designed for the interruption of arc fault current which is occurred in the low voltage network. Arc in electrical network have the characteristics of low current, high impedance and high frequency. Conventional controller does not have the arc current interrupt function. Hence, arc current controller is designed for the interruption of arc fault current.

In this paper, we have designed the ground faults detection and interrupting controller at normal condition of AC 120v to 240v rating voltage. Ground faults in electrical network have the characteristics of low current, 60㎐ frequency to 2㎑frequency. The load condition are no load and 20A load. The trip level of the controller is 6㎃ with ground faults. The Controller algorithm is implemented using pic16c71 microprocessor.

본 연구에서는 정보가전기기에서 과부하를 방지하고 이상신호를 검출하며 화재방지를 제어할 수 있는 원 칩(one chip) 시스템 IC를 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 화재에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 아크(arc) 검출회로와 감전을 방지하기 위한 누전검출회로를 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션과 표준트랜지스터를 이용한 bread boarding 평가에 의해 블록별로 설계된 회로를 검증하였다. 평가결과로부터 34 V 2 Metal $1.5{\mu}m$바이폴라 트랜지스터 공정을 이용하여 시스템 IC를 제작하였다. 제작된 시스템 IC와 IC응용회로를 PCB보드에 실장하여 화재방지 시스템보드의 전기적 성능을 평가하였으며, 아크와 GF(ground fault) 신호에 잘 동작함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a development of the ELB (Electronic Leakage Breaker) based on a reduction of standby power dissipation as with maintaining conventional performance. In order to minimize the standby power consumption of the conventional circuit, we analyze the cause of 0.3W dissipation of the circuit. By employing the TR-triggered circuit to secure the standby power of 0.10W after testing and evaluation while CRD inserted circuit showed the performance of 0.17W levels. Implementing SMPS IC and TNR device circuit was designed and showed of its power to less than 0.06W. Developed ELB is expected much standby power savings in large power distributor or heavy users.

무방향성 규소강판을 사용한 자기식 네온관용 변압기는 내구성이 좋은 반면에 용량에 따른 규소 강판의 무게가 무겁고 외형이 큰 관계로 네온관 설치 작업 시 상당히 불편한 점이 많다. 또한 네온관의 다양한 디스플레이 제어성면에서도 비합리적 이었다. 이를 개선하기 위한 방법으로 네온 트랜스포머의 전원장치 및 2차측 고압 출력부를 고속의 고주파 스위칭 파워 트랜지스터(MOSFET)를 이용하여 상용주파수 60［Hz］를 고속 스위칭 제어를 통하여 20［KHz］의 고주파로 변환시킨후, 네온관을 방전시키기 위한 고전압을 발생시키는 인버터식 네온관용 변압기를 구현하였다. 또한 네온관의 파손이나 누전으로 인한 화재나 인체 감전의 위험을 사전에 방지할 수 있는 보호회로 GFCI(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)를 제안 하였다.
