초록

멀티 콘센트의 과전류로 인한 과열을 방지하기 위한 보호방식으로는 주로 금속바이메탈 방식, 스위칭회로 방식, 마이크로컨트롤러(MCU)를 이용한 과전류 정밀제어 방식 등이 사용되어 오고 있다. 하지만 이러한 방식들은 보호회로가 과전류가 흐르는 전선에 병렬접속 함으로써 2차 화재의 위험이 있을 수 있으며 입력전압의 비선형 왜곡에 취약한 단점을 가지고 있다. 또한 기존의 방식들은 제품의 단가가 비교적 크게 올라가므로 충분한 시장성을 확보하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 과전류가 흐르는 전선에 비접촉식 관통형 변류기를 설계하고 변류기의 2차 유도전류를 이용하여 과전류를 감지하여 사용자가 과전류 상황을 인지할 수 있도록 LED 및 부저 회로를 통하여 시각 및 청각적 신호를 전달하는 기능을 구현한다. 실험 결과들로부터 제안된 회로는 매우 경제적이고 간단하면서도 안정적으로 동작함을 확인 할 수 있다.

For the over-heat protection purpose in power strip devices, over-current detection/protection circuits, such as bimetal, switching circuit, and microprocessor-based relay circuit, have been widely setup in high-end products. Most of these circuits are connected to the power line in parallel and, thus, they are sensitive to the line voltage and current distortion. Moreover, these protection circuits are often costly and, therefore, it is hard to meet the commercial requirements. A low-cost over-current detection circuit with the contactless current transducer is designed and tested in this paper. The detection circuit is galvanically isolated from the power line and, thus, less sensitive to the line voltage distortion. The experimental results show that the proposed circuit accurately operates despite of its simple structure and low-cost electronic parts.
