Calculation and Prevention of Internal Fault Arc in Medium Voltage Switchgear
The causes of some accidents induced by internal fault arc in medium voltage switchgears are analyzed.And an approach for improving the cabinet structure to prevent the internal arc fault is hence proposed via calculation and test of onsite internal fault arc. Experiment demonstrates that improving the structure of the switchgear shell can effectively avoid accident expansion
and adding arc protection device can clearly reduce the damage to switchgear shell.
