Abstract
Three-phase contactor is an important switching device in a power distribution system. In contactors, unavoidable tolerances create differences in three-phase contact overtravel. The separation of the contacts at different times produces three-phase asynchronous arcs. On the basis of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation model, the arc behavior of the synchronous arc and the asynchronous arc are analyzed. An experimental platform based on phase control technology is built. The volt-ampere characteristics and high-speed photography of synchronous and asynchronous arcs are acquired. The influence of phase and actuator speed on the asynchronous arc is analyzed. The experimental and simulation results show that the asynchronous arc makes the three-phase arc more uneven. The higher the lagging phase voltage, the more obvious the unevenness. Increasing the actuator speed can effectively reduce the adverse effects of asynchronous arc.
