PENG Qingjun, JIANG Xiongwei, SIMA Wenxia, et al. Three-phase Modeling of the Vacuum Circuit Breaker Switching off 35 kV Shunt Reactors and Overvoltage Suppression[J]. High voltageapparatus, 2017, 53(3): 147-153+159.
To explore the generation mechanism of overvoltage when a vacuum circuit breaker(VCB)switches off 35 kV shunt reactors and to improve the existing simulation model
a general review of simulation researches on vacuum circuit breakers switching off small reactive current is firstly given. Fortran language is used to write the control program in MODELS module
an arc reignition three-phase simulation model of a 40.5 kV VCB switching off shunt reactors is established in ATP-EMTP to simulate the field tests. The VCB and the cable’s three-phase parasitic parameters are considered in the simulation. In the case of no protection for the researched loop
the load-side voltage of the VCB is 235 kV(7.1 p.u.)
and the ground voltage reaches 145 kV(4.4 p.u.). Simulation results show that the multi-reignitiion of three phases and the virtual closure phenomenon mainly cause such overvoltage accidents. Finally
some suppression measures against the overvoltage induced by switching off the shunt reactors are presented.
