Abstract

The study mainly aims to explore how deterioration of motor control center, namely MCC, and vibration put impact on temperature of bus bar as well as temperature change of bolt-nut joint. The motor control center consists of three internal parts (i.e. R, S, T) which are for motor operation of high capacity. Two dimensional mechanism for measuring temperature was designed and manufactured with infrared temperature sensor. Installing it in inner motor control center enabled researcher to monitor temperature of bus bar as well as amount of change of current regularly. Temperature change of bus bar according to load was primarily examined based on a bolted joint in the experiment. It was clearly verified that temperature change of bus bar was proportional to current consumption. Therefore, installing non-contact two dimensional mechanism for measuring temperature in motor control center would be expected to prevent temperature rise owing to overload current and power outage as well as fire accident which can be triggered by poor electrical contact.

본 연구는 고용량의 모터를 구동하기 위한 모터컨트롤센터(MCC)의 내부 구조 중 각 상(R,S,T)의 BUS BAR의 온도와 BUS BAR 볼트 체결부의 온도변화가 모터컨트롤센터의 노후화 및 진동에 따라 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 적외선 온도센서가 설치된 온도측정용 2차원 기구부를 설계 제작하고 모터컨트롤센터의 내부에 설치하여 BUS BAR의 온도 및 전류 변화량을 상시 모니터링 하였다. 실험을 통하여 부하에 따른 BUS BAR의 온도 변화를 BUS BAR 나사 체결부위를 중심으로 측정하였으며, BUS BAR의 온도변화와 소모 전류에 대한 비례관계를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 비접촉식 2차원 온도측정 시스템을 모터컨트롤센터 내부에 장착하면 부하의 과전류로 인한 온도 상승이나 접촉 불량 등으로 발생될 수 있는 정전이나 화재 사고를 예방할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
