Abstract:
Gas-insulated high voltage puffer breaker (1) comprising a puffer unit (3) with a movable piston (4) running in a puffer cylinder (5) and delimiting a puffer volume (6). A piston (4) and a first contact member (2) are attached to a piston stem (9). An electric arc is extinguishable in an arcing zone (13) when the first contact member (2) moves from a first position to a second position. The puffer volume (6) is fluidly connected to a gas nozzle (12) by a gas channel (14) such that the puffer volume (6) comprises the gas channel (14) as well as a portion (15) of the puffer cylinder (5). The gas channel (14) is provided radially outside of the puffer (5) cylinder between a puffer cylinder wall (17) delimiting the puffer cylinder (5) and a wall structure (18) of the puffer unit (3).
Abstract:
An HVDC circuit breaker unit (1) with an interrupter branch (2) extending between a first node (3) and a second node (4) comprising a vacuum interrupter (5) connected to the first node (3), and a gas interrupter (6) connected to the second node (4) of the circuit breaker unit. The vacuum interrupter (5) is connected to the circuit breaker unit (1) at a third node (7) such that the gas interrupter (6) is electrically connected in series to the vacuum interrupter (5). A first movable contact member (11) of the vacuum interrupter (5) and a second movable contact member (12) of the gas interrupter (6) are operatable by at least one Thomson coil drive. An arrestor branch (8) comprising a first non-linear resistor (9)is connected to the first node (3) and the second node (4).
Abstract:
Der gasisolierte Hochspannungsschalter enthält eine in einem Gehäuse (10) eingeschlossenen Kontaktanordnung, die in koaxialer Anordnung zwei längs einer Achse (A) relativ zueinander bewegliche Lichtbogenkontakte, nämlich eine Kontakttulpe (20) mit einer Verengung und einen Kontaktstift (30), aufweist sowie zwei Isolierdüsen (40, 50), die in axialer Richtung mit Abstand zueinander gehalten sind. Eine erste (40) der beiden Isolierdüsen weist einen längs der Achse geführten ersten Strömungskanal (41) mit einer ersten Verengung (42) und die zweite (50) einen längs der Achse geführten zweiten Strömungskanal (51) mit einer zweiten Verengung (52) auf. Bei diesem Schalter ist die Kontakttulpe (20) in einem stromabwärts der ersten Verengung (42) angeordneten Abströmabschnitt (43) des ersten Strömungskanals (41) angeordnet. Die Summe der Strömungsquerschnitte (Ακ, Α Σ ) der Verengung der Kontakttulpe (20) und einer im Abströmabschnitt (43) angeordneten dritten Verengung ist grösser als der Strömungsquerschnitt (A n ) der ersten Verengung (42), wobei durch die Verengung der Kontakttulpe (20) eine erste Teilströmung (L 11 ) einer Löschgasströmung (L 1 ) und durch die dritte Verengung eine parallel zur ersten Teilströmung (L 11 ) gerichtete zweite Teilströmung (L 12 ) führbar ist. Dadurch verbessert sich die dielektrische Wiederverfestigung einer in der Lichtbogenzone (L) befindlichen Trennstrecke stromaufwärts der Kontakttulpe (20) und werden so die Ausschaltleistung und die Betriebssicherheit des Schalters erhöht.
Abstract:
In order to limit the current rise in a high voltage DC system, the current is led through a current rise limiter (2). The current rise limiter (2) has an inductance that increases with the current I through the current rise limiter (2) and/or with the time-derivative dI/dt of said current I . In such a system, the current rise limiter (2) has minor influence on normal operation, but it limits the rise rate of the current in case of a fault, thereby e.g. providing more time to switch the current off.
Abstract:
A high voltage DC circuit breaker comprises a semiconductor switching assembly (3) in series to a mechanical switch (4). When the semiconductor switching assembly (3) is switched off due to a current fault, the residual current (I R ) flowing through the arresters (9) of the assembly (3) is switched off by the mechanical switch (4). A capacitor (12) arranged parallel to mechanical switch (4) leads to passive resonance effects, which in turn induce current zero crossings in its arc. The current zero crossings allow to extinguish the arc reliably. The mechanical switch (4) can be an AC circuit breaker.
Abstract:
The gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear includes a contact arrangement that is enclosed in a housing (10) and has two arc contacts in a coaxial arrangement, namely a tulip contact (20) with a constriction and a contact pin (30), said contacts being movable relative to each other along an axis (A). The switchgear also includes two insulating nozzles (40, 50) which are held at a distance to each other in the axial direction. The first (40) of the two insulating nozzles has a first flow channel (41), which is led along the axis and which comprises a first constriction (42), and the second (50) has a second flow channel (51), which is led along the axis and which has a second constriction (52). In the switchgear, the tulip contact (20) is arranged in a first flow channel (41) outflow section (43) which is arranged downstream of the first constriction (42). The sum of the flow cross-sections (Ακ, Α Σ ) of the constriction of the tulip contact (20) and of a third constriction arranged in the outflow section (43) is greater than the flow cross-section (A n ) of the first constriction (42), wherein a first sub-flow (L 11 ) of a quenching gas flow (L 1 ) can be conducted through the constriction of the tulip contact (20), and a second sub-flow (L 12 ) which is oriented parallel to the first sub-flow (L 11 ) can be conducted through the third constriction. In this manner, the dielectric restoration of an isolating gap which can be found in the arc zone (L) is improved upstream of the tulip contact (20), and the breaking capacity and the operating reliability of the switchgear are thus increased.
