AI Customer Serviceto use low energy spring operating mechanisms for the operation of high voltage circuit breakers. Self blast type of circuit breakers have progressively replaced puffer types, from 72.5 kV up to 800 kV. For longer distances between electrodes, a higher voltage withstand is obtained with SF6. Vacuum is mainly used for MV circuit breakers.
When a fault occurs, HVDC circuit breakers rapidly create an artificial current zero for fault clearing or they block the current by power electronic devices after commutating the current to a breaker unit.
In multi-terminal HVDC systems, the need of HVDC circuit breakers will arise. AC circuit breaker easily interrupts the arc at natural current zero in the ac wave. At current zero, the energy (1/2 L i2) to be interrupted is also zero. The contact gap has to cool and recover the dielectric strength to withstand natural transient recovery voltage.
The main task of a circuit breaker is to interrupt fault currents and to isolate faulted parts of the system. A circuit breaker must also be able to interrupt a wide variety of other currents at system voltage such as capacitive currents, small inductive currents, and load currents. It is reliable in its operation.
Recording of current behaviours during current interruption A prototype mechanical HVDC circuit breaker composed of series connected HV vacuum interrupters with a rapid operating mechanism was tested with the DC currents up to 16 kA (Zhou et al. 2015).
The capacitance (stray capacitance in the case of the Hybrid DC circuit breaker) across the DC circuit breaker is being charged when the current is forced to the current zero through the interrupter branch by either current injection or current blocking. Voltage and current behaviour around current zero through interrupter to MOSA activation
