Numerical Simulation of Condensation and Influencing Factors Analysis of 10 kV High Voltage Switchgear
Condensation is one of the main causes of failure of switchgear. Aiming at the internal condensation of high-voltage switchgear
type KYN28A-12 switchgear cabinet is taken as the research object in this paper
a condensation numerical simulation model of switchgear based on finite volume method is set up. The temperature and humidity field distribution inside the switchgear under steady-state conditions is obtained. The influence of ambient temperature
ambient relative humidity and load current change on the temperature and humidity distribution and condensation inside the switchgear is analyzed and the condensation mechanism inside the switchgear cabinet is discussed. The results indicate that the inside of the switchgear shows such characteristic as high temperature of the current-carrying conductor
low surface temperature of the contact box and the circuit breaker enclosure
and high relative humidity. When the temperature in the cabinet is decreased by about 12 K
the relative humidity is increased to saturation and condensation is formed. The environmental humidity increases and the load current changes
no condensation is generated in the switchgear for a short time.
