Abstract: In this paper in a drawer pressure vacuum switch and SF6 circuit breakers use, and cite a typical application example, for product development and design. Keywords: choice of circuit breaker A foreword SF6 and vacuum switchgear the favor by the rest of the world, in Europe and most of the Middle East countries tend to use SF6 circuit breaker; In China, Japan and the United States obviously like a vacuum breaker; In other areas, the two technologies are almost equally popular. More oil and less oil in China, Eastern Europe, Latin America and other regions and Indiana are still small, but the trend is clear, SF6 and will soon be replaced by the vacuum technology. The data show that, at present, including ABB, the electrical trade multinational companies in the development of two technologies are complementary. In recent years, both at home and abroad in the latest technology, the most important development is the use of permanent magnetic actuator and sensor integration of the switch in a drawer. Two of Arc Trip 2.1SF6 Breaker SF6 circuit breaker in the pressure of the current system saying. Automatic operation of the circuit breaker - blowing energy is relatively small, but with a good performance, such as cutting short-circuit current small arc energy, electrical longer life; Breaking small emotional currents, overvoltage multiples below 2.5 times. 2.2 VCB VCB in contact points, closing operation must have high corrosion resistance arc; When Breaking small current, the closure should have a low performance. Research shows that the material, copper, chromium synthetic material is the best and most capable to meet the requirements of contact materials, including chromium content of 20% to 60% of the copper, chromium synthetic material, it is now being used as the standard material contact. The special shape of the initial contact, to prevent contact surface of the radial arc magnetic field, forced arc root continuous rotation along the contact surface, thereby preventing local overheating and uneven wear.Contact shape of further improvement is the development of the axial magnetic field, the arc-axial magnetic field can be distributed evenly throughout the contact surface. 3SF6 VCB and the development trend 3.1 ACTUATOR On the surface, the circuit breaker actuator is just simple "points - a" or "a - in" feature. When reaching the required position, make sure to maintain contact in the position until the position change orders received so far. Therefore, the actuator is a typical bistable implementing agencies, the performance must be highly reliable. Previously, long-term mechanical spring and cam mechanism. Permanent magnetic actuator including fixed-laminated iron core, permanent magnet, closing the gates and coils for electronic devices, and can provide all-electronic auxiliary functions, such as interlocking, the gateway switching, also includes self-diagnostic facilities. Electrolytic capacitor for a breakdown of the impact of closing coil power. The permanent magnetic actuator greatly simplifies the mechanical system, a substantial reduction of its components, the risk of failure also reduced accordingly, thereby reducing the actuator dream maintenance levels New vacuum and magnetic actuator SF6 circuit breakers, and the previous design, with full mutual interoperability. This interchangeability, with the least investment can be re-equipping the existing switchgear. 3.2 sensor integration and electronic equipment Adopt the appropriate software and the necessary current and voltage sensors, circuit breaker protection in the integrated control system, as a circuit breaker to protect the integrity and function of intelligent switching automation devices and to achieve maximum reliability target, at least parts interface to facilitate a Pressure secondary distribution system application. This is the current low-voltage distribution system development status. Four technical performance 4.1 Electrical and mechanical life Experience shows that vacuum and SF6 circuit breakers can be considered a maintenance-free. SF6 circuit breakers and high-quality vacuum breaker fully meet IEC60056 B-breaker standards. This means that B-breaker in life expectancy in parts of the fracture does not require maintenance, and only need to maintain other components. According to the IEC breaker connecting the elevated line network and whether reclosing and conditions of use, provides circuit breakers should be able to complete the operation frequency. 4.2 Operating Overvoltage SF6 circuit breaker with a low operating voltage, without any additional devices. The use of modern materials Contact vacuum circuit breakers, also showing a low cut-off current. However, the use of special occasions, may require detailed system parameters study to determine the need to install special restrictions overvoltage devices, which mainly depend on the characteristics of industrial equipment installed. 5应用举例 5 Application Examples (1) overhead lines and cables: When used for protection and cut overhead distribution lines, vacuum and SF6 circuit breakers are required to meet. (2) Transformers: modern vacuum and SF6 circuit breaker to cut off empty for the excitation current transformer, and over-voltage multiplier below 3.0. In some special occasions, such as a vacuum breaker to cut industrial equipment in the dry-type transformers, installed arresters are recommended. (3) Motor: When to cut off electrical circuit breakers, must operate overvoltage issues full attention. Overvoltage target limits for less than 2.5 times, both devices can be reached. When the vacuum breaker to cut off the small motor pm (starting current of less than 600A), as many rekindle the arc reason, it may be necessary to take measures to restrict over-voltage, and this phenomenon occurs very low probability. (4) capacitors: two technologies are applicable to the new lease was no capacitor switching. As a group switching, it may be necessary to install reactor, in order to limit the impact current Breaker synchronous control technology is the solution to this problem an effective program. 。 Preferred SF6 circuit breakers used in higher rated voltage 27kV occasions. (5) EAF: EAF switching operation is characterized by frequent, high-current, short interval. VCB is particularly applicable to such occasions. ((6) Shunt Reactor: SF6 circuit breaker applied to switch shunt reactor, usually less than its over-voltage multiplier of 2.5. When using vacuum breaker, in certain circumstances may require additional restrictions overvoltage measures. (7) electrified railway traction: In principle, the two devices can be used, but in certain low-frequency power occasions (eg Ω), recommended by vacuum breaker. 6 Conclusion From the use of point of view, SF6 and vacuum two technologies are complementary. Economic factors, user preferences, countries in the habit of manufacturing capacity switching and special requirements, policy-makers identified the main factors breaker type. Breaker and working conditions match, frequent switching, special requirements may affect the choice of circuit breaker type additional factors, at this time, may need to undertake a comprehensive study in order to make the best choice. |
