Abstract
In this paper, the fire cause of blackout occurred in the Busan-JungKwan Energy as a Community Energy System (CES) was analyzed. Through analysis of the data such as burn patterns at the site, melted shape of cable head by the fire, overcurrent relay (OCR) of the control system, and event log, it was confirmed that first ground fault occurred at the termination connection of secondary cable of transformer. It was concluded because the void space of insulation and electrical melting trace conductor were investigated in the cable stress cone by detailed investigation and X-ray inspection for cable termination. In addition, as the damage by the tool on the vertical direction to the conductor was identified, it was presumed that the accident occurred by deterioration progress of insulation which was accelerated than that of the other parts.
