Customer ServiceThe characteristic where the capacitor voltage in the capacitor circuit breaker needs to be released through the energy release branch is used in this paper. The capacitor in the circuit breaker is controlled to discharge to the fault line.
Following the closing of circuit breaker, the capacitors are discharged through the loop closed by the interrupter; the highest discharging current is associated with the initial voltage across the capacitor, along with the damping resistance. The insulating requirement for the capacitor is relatively modest.
As the thermal stress in the circuit breaker is proportional to the period of the short circuit, the breaking capacity of the circuit breaker depends upon the operating time which is C-O time. When checking the C-O time of the breaker during timing tests, the auxiliary switch (contact) adjustment should be checked.
It was found that the current-limiting inductance in the circuit breaker could effectively limit the fault current amplitude to 7.35 kA, which reduced the current stress of the circuit breaker. Finally, the breaking speed of the circuit breaker is comparable to other circuit breakers that do not have current-limiting capability.
When the voltage of B 2 reaches the arrester operating voltage, the current begins transferring to the arrester branch B 3. The arrester absorbs the remaining energy in the circuit, and the fault current is reduced to 0A. The overall fault clearing time of the circuit breaker is 5.4 ms.
In spite of great performance in suppressing secondary arc, the installation of large grading capacitor may have certain negative effects on the interrupting capability of circuit breaker. As the capacitance is increased to 0.5 μF, the equivalent circuit model of the system is completely changed.
