Abstract

The study is aimed to develop fuzzy logic system that has overcurrent and saturation time as input variable and possibility of electrical fire as output variable by making bad conductor area with physical damage to indoor wiring. Most previous studies focused on thermal characteristics depending on the current size and no study considered the current size and saturation time at the same time. Therefore, the paper made into account current value and saturation time together. To this end, it created bad conductor area half the size of IV conductor (1.6 mm) on purpose and transmit electrical current from 10A to 60A by unit of 2A to find out the thermal characteristics and saturation time for current. Based on the data that came out, the study applied fuzzy logic and established the current and saturation time as input variable and chance of fire as output variable. As a result, the center of area of the system that depended only on the existing current value was 75 while the system that applied both current and saturation time presented the chance of fire at 92. It is found that the chance of bad conductor area and deteriorated insulation of electrical wire had current and saturation time as important variables. The data can be used as basic data like deteriorated wire insulation or operation features of circuit breaker in investigating the cause of electrical fire.
