For vacuum circuit breaker (VCB), the contact surface temperature is still high after high current arcing, evaporation of metal vapor continues with considerable rates. The metal vapor and residual charge at current zero, i.e., the arc memory which depends on arcing conditions, determines the post-arc dielectric strength recovery of VCB. Considering the well-known continuous transition model (CTM) proposed by Andrews and Varey only shows the effect of residual charge on dielectric strength during sheath expanding period, thus, a submodel including metal vapor density and breakdown criteria corresponding to Paschen limit is added to the existing CTM. Moreover, it has taken into account the charge exchange between ions and vapor atoms. Its accuracy is verified by comparing simulation result with test and the other simulation data. Then based on the improved CTM, influence of arcing conditions including arcing time t0, interrupted current amplitude ip and ramp di/dt on the post-arc dielectric strength recovery of VCB are simulated and analyzed.

In the design process of switch cabinet, the heat dissipation of current-carrying loop is one of the key problems. By introducing the heat conduction differential equation, Navier-Stokes equations and radiation heat transfer equation, the multi-physical field coupled mathematical models are established for researching the heat dissipation problem in the switch cabinet in this paper. The mathematical models and the finite volume method are presented to compute the three-dimensional thermal and fluid fields of KYN28A-12 switch cabinet. And wall function method is used to deal with convection heat transfer boundary conditions. Then the hexahedral finite element mesh method is used in the numerical calculation. The thermal and fluid fields are calculated respectively in two different conditions, natural convection and forced convection. Compared with natural convection, the temperature in the forced convection is obviously lower. The heat dissipation of the current-carrying loop is increased in the situation of forced convection.

As widely known, diamond has a higher break-down voltage than other semiconductor materials, 30 times than silicon and 3 times than silicon-carbide. Because of its superior property, diamond has a high potential of high voltage power devices. In addition diamond has unique properties, namely transport property of heavily doped material over 1020 cm−3, high density exciton being stable even at room temperature, negative electron affinity with hydrogen terminated surface, etc. We have fabricated diamond devices using these properties, such as ultraviolet light emitting diodes, a new type of diode with high breakdown voltage and low ON resistance, high current density flow diode using heavily doped layers, and so on. In this key note lecture, we show the recent achievements of these electronic devices and discuss the potential of diamond semiconductor as a high voltage power device.

Low voltage circuit breakers are widely used in power distribution systems for rapid interruption of fault currents to assure the reliability of the power supply. While power distribution systems are demanding transformers with higher capacity than ever, there is an increase in the number of short-circuit current accidents. To prevent such accidents, molded case circuit breakers with improved short-circuit current interrupting capacity are needed.

This paper introduces a simulation model of Saturated Iron Core Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SICSFCL) using SIMPOWER of MATLAB and establishes an actual model for the 35kV/90MVA SICSFCL installed in Puji substation at Kunming. The model is used to simulate the artificially imposed three-phase short-circuit and the results are compared to the live grid test results, which were carried out in July 2009. The SICSFCL simulation model is verified effectively.

In this paper, the high voltage SF6 circuit breaker (HV SF6CB) was taken as the research object, an axial vortex arc quenching chamber structure with a novel “X-type” guide blade on the nozzle upstream is presented to effectively control the kinetic energy of the free vortex formed by the gas flow and to exchange the energy in the radial direction. During the interruption, the temperature gradient along the radial direction can be generated. In the process of the internal energy exchange, because the outer spin flow of the turbulence gains more kinetic energy than the internal energy loss, which makes the total temperature of the outer rotary flow increase, and the internal gas flow temperature decrease accordingly. In this paper, the novel nozzle is proposed and applied to achieve energy separated vortex movement of the high pressure gas flow to reduce the axial temperature and increase the gas flow capability. And a 550kV SF6 CB was taken as the research object in this paper. By using finite volume method (FVM), the 3D flow field mathematical model under the small capacitive current interruption is proposed and the influence of the X type guide blade structure on flow field is simulated. By solving the gas flow field with complex flow path, supersonic nozzle, viscous, compressible and variable boundaries, the influences of different axial vortex nozzle structure on the velocity and pressure distributions have been achieved. In addition, the comparisons of gas flow distributions in the chamber with and without X type guide blade nozzle were obtained and analyzed.

In this paper, we reported vacuum breakdown characteristics for some kinds of stainless steel electrodes, for example, SUS304, SUS304L, SUS316, SUS316L, SUS310, SUS321 which are stainless steel alloy of different component ratio. These electrodes have different contamination degree on the surface. The contamination degree of the electrode surface is analyzed by the XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy). We investigated the correlation between the contamination degree and breakdown characteristics. Experimental results revealed that the degree of the carbon contamination of the electrodes gave rise to a certain degradation of the saturated breakdown field and the increase of the number of spark conditioning breakdowns to achieve the saturated breakdown field. The electrochemical polishing technique for the stainless steel electrode was effective in the improvement of vacuum breakdown characteristics. According to XPS spectrum for the electrode surface before breakdown test, the process of the electrochemical polishing reduced the carbon contamination. It was found that the saturated breakdown fields after spark conditioning and conditioning speeds had a relation to the degree of contamination for carbon.

An insulator in a quenching chamber of a switch causes ablation, and releases gases when arcing. These released gases are known to have an influence on the arc characteristics. In this paper, experiments with the eight kinds of insulators and air will be introduced. The experiments were done by observing the arc shapes changes with digital high-speed video cameras. Furthermore, we measured arc conductance from the quenching peak to current zero by measuring arc voltage and current. The shapes of the arc were observed from two directions.

The most critical transient a circuit breaker has to endure during its operation is the transient recovery voltage (TRV), initiated by the electric power system as a natural reaction on current interruption. For circuit breakers intended to operate in ultra-high voltage systems (with rated voltage above 800 kV), the realization of realistic transient recovery voltages in testing of these circuit breakers becomes a real challenge. In this contribution a new and proven method is described of creating adequate TRVs by a double stage synthetic test circuit. Due to the extremely high voltages to be applied immediately after interruption of very high fault current, a two-stage approach is necessary. This is the only way to perform full-pole testing, the realistic laboratory simulation of service conditions during fault current interruption.
