The 2×27.5 kV bipolar vacuum circuit breaker of electrified railway traction power supply system is used to auto-transformer supply catenary feeder circuit switched on and off.According to the current railwag standard
this type circuit breaker arc-extinguishing chamber fracture using 27.5 kV rated voltage insulation level.This article through the contact line(T line) and positive feeder(AF line) between non grounding fault analysis: When the circuit breaker breaking such short circuit faults
two fracture under short-circuit voltage are generally not balanced
one fracture under voltage will exceed its insulation tolerance level
serious deterioration of its breaking short circuit current conditions
may cause insulation damage or even explosion accident.It is suggested that: increase the current railway standard requirements for insulating level of 2×27.5 kV bipolar vacuum circuit breaker;parallel existing circuit breaker grading capacitor on both fracture
voltage balancing;increase this type circuit breaker double fracture actual pressure and synchronous breaking test item.
