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:
The present invention relates to a device for interrupting non-short circuit currents only, and in particular relates to a disconnector, more particularlyhigh voltage disconnector, or to an earthing switch, more particularly make-proof earthing switch, and further relates to a low voltage circuit breaker. The device comprises at least two contacts (10, 12) movable in relation to each other between a closed state and an open state and defining an arcing region(26),in which an arc (27) is generated during a current interrupting operation and in which an arc-quenching medium (17) comprising an organofluorine compound is present. According to the invention, a counter-arcing component (19) is allocated to the arcing region(26), the counter-arcing component (19) being designed for counteracting the generation of an arc (27) and/or being designed for supporting the extinction of an arc(27).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a dielectric insulation or arc-extinction fluid comprising or essentially consisting of: a) a fluorinated organic compound FOC1 as a first fluid component A in mixture with b) a second fluid component B different from the said first fluid component A. According to the invention, said first fluid component A is a hydrochlorofluoroolefin.
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:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for the generation, the distribution or the usage of electrical energy, said apparatus comprising a housing enclosing an insulating space and an electrical component arranged in the insulating space. The insulating space contains a dielectric insulation gas comprising an organofluorine compound A. The apparatus further comprises a molecular sieve arranged such as to come into contact with the insulation gas. The molecular sieve has an average pore size y greater than the molecular size of at least one decomposition product of the organofluorine compound A generated during operation of the apparatus. The adsorption capability of the molecular sieve for organofluorine compound A is lower than for the at least one decomposition product. According to the invention, the apparatus further comprises at least one desiccant arranged such as to come into contact with the insulation gas.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for deriving at least one operating parameter P of a fluid-insulated electrical apparatus (1), in particular of gas-insulated switchgear (1). The operating parameter P is dependent on a dielectric breakdown strength E bd of an insulation fluid (10) of the electrical apparatus (1). The insulation fluid (10) comprises at least three components X, Y, and Z that are assigned to at least a first and a second component group A and B such that at least one component group comprises at least two components. The component groups A and B differ in their weighted average values of the molecular masses of the components in the respective component groups. Then, at least one quantity which is indicative of the concentration c A of the first component group A and of the concentration c B of the second component group B is determined from the insulation fluid (10), e.g. by measuring one or more measurement variables (p, p, T, λ, η, c s ) by means of one or more sensors (30). The operating parameter P is then derived using the at least one quantity.
