The purpose of this study is to reduce the probability of occurrence of electric fires as a preemptive preventive measure, and to strengthen the capability of preventing electric fires by strengthening the cooperative function between electric fire-related departments and establishing a cooperative system. In this study, the general aspects of electric fires were identified by reviewing the literature such as ignition mechanisms of electric fires. And the major electrical fires that occurred in the last 10 years were classified into ignition factors (short circuit, overload/overcurrent, and earth leakage/ground fault) and ignition sources (wiring/wiring appliances, electrical equipment/household appliances). And the 4M technique was used to analyze the potential causes of ignition at the fire site and to suggest preventive measures. In the case In this study, out of 48 electrical fires in the past 10 years, 16 short-circuit fires, 3 overload/ overcurrent fires, 3 short-circuit and earth fault fires, 16 fires in wiring/wiring appliances, and 10 fires in electrical equipment/home appliances classified as cases. And prevention measures were presented in terms of human, machine, media, and management by using the 4M technique. For the preemptive prevention of electric fires, strengthening the compulsory electrical safety inspection and making it mandatory to report when new or expanding electric facilities, charging a fee for electric safety inspection for detached houses and granting benefits subject to inspection completion, improvement of the electric safety voluntary inspection table and safety indications; It was suggested as a policy to organize and operate electrical safety inspection personnel in a two-person team (mixed), establish a close work cooperation system with related organizations, and strengthen electrical safety education and publicity.

A number of plating companies have been exposed to the risk of fire due to unexpected temperature increasing of water or other reasons in a plating bath. Since the companies are not able to forecast the unexpected temperature increasing of plating bath and most of raw materials in the bath have low ignition temperature, it is easy to be exposed to the risk of fire. Thus, in previous study, we tried to monitor and notice the dangerous change of temperature of water immediately to prevent the risk of fire from plating process. However, unfortunately previous studies were not able to shut out the fundamental cause of fire since bath temperature sensor can detect air temperature when the level sensor was malfunctioned. In this paper we developed the Teflon heater which contains a built in temperature sensor and improved plating equipment system. Teflon heater is improved using Pt 100Ω sensor which can detect until 600°C . When the bath temperature sensor detects over 60°C or the Teflon heater sensor detects over 240°C they temporarily shut down the heater to control temperature. Also relay completely shuts down main power when detects instant temperature is detected over 5% of 240°C by the heater sensor to prevent teflon melting down and fire spreads. Developed plating equipment system can monitor a real time temperature in the teflon tube and bath water. Therefore we think the proposed plating equipment can eliminate the possibility of fire in plating processes fundamentally.

Electric of using in daily life is always exposed to risk of electrical fire and electric shock. Only degree of risk is different, there is no risk free electrical product. Generally, the higher voltage, the risk of electric shock is high. The much electric current, the risk of electrical fire is high. But, we can’t help using electric because of risk and we effort to reduce the risk of electrical fire and electric shock. This study deal with the fire prevention generated on heating equipment using SSR for current

There has been an increase in fire/explosion accidents caused by chemical substances used in new small/medium sized construction, reconstruction, or extension sites. There is vast room for improvement, especially in safety training, safety inspection, and selection of countermeasures because training, technicality, and management systems regarding fire·explosion risks in small/medium sized construction sites are very immature in most cases. The purpose of this study is to propose a differentiated technical, educational, and management application plan for preventative management of fire·explosion accidents caused by chemical substances used in small/medium sized construction sites.

저압 배선계통에서 단락사고와 누전사고를 방지하기 위해 분전반(DP) 내에 배선용차단기(MCB) 및 누전차단기(ELB)를 사용하여 방지하도록 전기설비기술기준으로 정하고 있다. 이들 차단기들은 누전과 과전류사고를 감지하여 차단하는 성능은 우수하나, 직접적인 전기화재의 위험요소인 순간단락 및 접속·접촉 불량 사고에 의한 전기아크사고에 대한 차단기능은 거의 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 펄스신호 송신과 전력선 네트워크를 적용시킨 새로운 아크차단기가 제안된다. 제안한 아크차단기는 아크사고 시에 정보화된 디지털 펄스신호를 전력선 네트워크를 통하여 전기분전반에 송신하고 분전반 내에 설계된 마이컴 시스템을 통하여 사고위치를 경보하는 표시기 개발이라 할 수 있다. 이는 전력선 네트워크와 첨단 마이컴 시스템을 이용한 전기화재 예방용 스마트형 분전반을 구축하는 것이다.

전기화재의 주요 요소는 전기아크와 스파크로 인한 것으로, 전기화재를 효과적으로 예방하려면 아크차단기(AFCI)의 설치를 법령으로 의무화 되어야 한다. 그러나 우리나라에서는 경제적인 이유와 합리적인 대안의 부재로 인해 현실적으로 어려운 실정으로 추진체계 또한 오랜 시간이 소요될 것으로 예상된다. 이에 대한 합리적인 대안으로 본 연구에서는 응답성과 신뢰성이 우수한 디지털 소자와 반도체 스위칭 소자 등을 이용하여, 선로전압을 상시 감지하고 일정 시간 내 아크나 스파크로 판단되는 이상 파형이 감지되면 화재의 징후로 인식하여 신속하게 전로를 차단하는 직력 아크사고의 감지시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 제안한 전기화재 보호장치는 제어방식이 간단하고 경량, 소형으로 제작이 가능하게 때문에 어디에서나 쉽게 적용이 가능한 장점이 주어진다.
