Fault Current Limiter Based on Current Commutation at Power Frequency Zero and Simulation of 40.5 kV Fast Vacuum Switch
With the development of power grid and the increase of load density
fault current gets larger to break the interruption capacity of the existing circuit breakers in some areas if countermeasure is not taken.This paper presented a fault current limiter (FCL) scheme based on current commutation at power frequency zero.The FCL is composed of a fast vacuum switch and a fault current limiting impedance connected in parallel.This scheme ignores limiting the first peak of fault current so as to simplify the implementation of FCL.Investigations on the issues of working voltage
current commutation
dynamic stability
thermal stability and fast vacuum switch were performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the FCL.A simulation method based on the equivalent circuit method was proposed to optimize electromagnetic repulsion mechanism for a 40.5 kV vacuum circuit breaker.The simulation results show that the fast vacuum switch for the FCL is realizable.
