산화아연 피뢰기 소자의 열적 특성 향상을 위한 연구

초록

In this study, in order to investigate the thermal and electrical properties of ZnO arrester block against 60[Hz] AC voltage, the changes in leakage current were measured. The temperature distribution appearing on the ZnO arrester blocks was observed using a forward looking infrared camera. In particular, the correlation between the thermal and electrical properties of a ZnO arrester block was analyzed experimentally. From this analysis, the thermal phenomena resulting from the heat generation and dissipation of the ZnO arrester block were interpreted. The degradation and thermal runaway phenomena of ZnO arrester block are closely related to the temperature limit of the ZnO arrester block. The installation of an additional metal electrode has resulted in the decrease of the leakage current due to the heat dissipation.
