Abstract

Arc and deterioration occur in switchboards due to overload, short circuit, poor contact, foreign matter, and vibration. If left untreated, a fire may occur, which may lead to secondary accidents, such as property and human damage. In order to prevent and manage fires in advance, this study developed a system that can detect arcs and deterioration using IR and UV sensors and control circuit breaker tripping. Analysis of the arc detection speed and switchboard control speed of the arc and deterioration detection system showed that the arc detection speed was 148 m/s, and the arc detection control speed was 8.68 m/s. To confirm the sensor error due to deterioratio, the comparison with the standard equipment that maintained traceability showed the average error between the standard equipment that maintained traceability and the developed IR sensor at the set temperature of 30, 45, and 60 °C was 0.784, 1.142, and 0.672 °C. The overall average error of measurement data was 0.864 °C very small, and confirmed the control speed according to the deterioration to be 8.32 m/s.
