Research on Ablation Resistance of Circuit Breaker Nozzle Material PTFE
The performance of nozzle material directly affects the characteristic of circuit breaker. To investigate the ablation resistance of nozzle material of a circuit breaker
a DC electric arc generator is designed with controllable arc voltage
current
length and time. Air flow is blown into the electric arc along axial direction to simulate the PTFE ablation in circuit breaker
and the mass loss of PTFE after suffering arc ablation is taken as an indicator of its ablative performance. The results show that:1)the DC arc with stable combustion presents negative resistance characteristic;2)the mass loss of PTFE increases with increasing arc current and arc power; and 3)the arc becomes unstable when blowing air flow
and the air flow can significantly reduce the arc ablation of PTFE.
