Abstract

A novel grounding system, which is presented in IEC 60364, has been adopted since 2021. A safety evaluation for the human body on the grounding system is required due to the various characteristics of the touch voltage and current passing when the human body experiences an electric shock. The Korea Electrical Safety Corporation (KESCO) and Korea Electric Association (KEA) have been conducting a safety technical education on the grounding system. On the other hand, it is difficult to instruct the electrical safety manager because of a lack of safety evaluations for the test equipment on the grounding system. Therefore, this paper modeled and implemented a test device for a safety evaluation depending on the grounding system of IEC 60364. Namely, this paper presents the modeling of the test device for a safety evaluation using PSCAD/EMTDC S/W, which is composed of an AC grid section, s test device section on the grounding system, and a sub-device section. This paper implemented a test device for safety evaluation, which consisted of an AC grid section, TT grounding system section, TN-S grounding system section, and monitoring section. From the simulation and test results with the safety characteristics of the human body in the TT and TN-S grounding system, when the fault impedances are 0[Ω], 10[Ω], and 100[Ω], the currents passing through the human body in the TT grounding system are 104[mA], 87.4[mA], and 35.5[mA], respectively. The corresponding currents in the TN-S grounding system are 54.9[mA], 4.1[mA], and 0.4[mA], respectively. Based on the results, the protection performance for an electric shock to the human body in the TN-S system is better than the TT system. This can be improved when the existing grounding system is changed from the TT system to the TN-S system.

국내 접지방식은 2021년부터 IEC 60364에서 제시하는 접지방식을 새롭게 채택하고 있다. 이 접지방식은 인체접촉사고 발생 시, 접촉전압과 통과전류에 대한 특성이 다양하게 나타날 수 있어, 인체에 대한 안전성 평가가 구체적으로 요구되고 있다. 또한, 한국전기안전공사나 대한전기협회에서 IEC 60364의 접지방식에 대한 안전기술 교육을 부분적으로 수행하고 있지만, 안전성을 평가할 수 있는 시험장치가 미흡하여, 전기안전관리자에 대한 교육이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 IEC 60364의 접지방식별 안전성 평가를 수행할 수 있는 시험장치를 모델링하고, 이를 바탕으로 시험장치를 구현한다. 즉, 전력계통 상용해석 프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여, 계통 전원부, 접지방식별 시험장치부, 보조장치부로 구성된 안전성 평가 시험장치의 모델링을 제시하고, 계통전원부, TT접지방식 시험장치부, TN-S접지방식 시험장치부, 모니터링부로 구성된 안전성 평가 시험장치를 구현한다. 상기의 모델링과 시험장치를 이용하여, TT접지방식과 TN-S접지방식의 인체 안전성 특성을 분석한 결과, TT접지방식의 경우 고장점 임피던스가 0[Ω], 10[Ω], 100[Ω]에서 인체 통과전류는 각각 104[mA], 87.4[mA], 35.5[mA]가 산정되었고, TN-S접지방식의 경우 54.9[mA], 4.1[mA], 0.4[mA]가 산정됨에 따라, TN-S접지방식이 TT접지방식에 비하여 감전에 대한 보호가 우수함을 알 수 있고, 저압수용가에서 사용 중인 TT 접지방식에서 TN-S 접지방식으로 전환하면 감전에 대한 보호성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
