Effect of Synchronous Switching Technique on Performance of Circuit Breaker in Breaking Capacitor Bank
The restrike over-voltage induced in breaking capacitor bank by a circuit breaker may damage equipment insulation
and harm safety of power system.In this case
the synchronous switching technology can be adopted to reasonably extend arcing time
hence to reduce restrike probability.This paper combines the theory of dielectric recovery of arc gap with the synchronous closing characteristic of circuit breaker and considers the criterion of restrike to propose a new calculation method of restrike probability
and analyzes the effects of the contact separation time and the rate of rise of dielectric strength(RRDS) on the restrike probability.Dynamic pre-strike tests of a 35 kV PMA vacuum brea
ker are conducted to obtain its RRDS.Results show that when the maximum allowable deviation of opening operation time is ±2 ms and the preset arcing time of controlled switching device is 4
6
ms
no restrike will happen in breaking capacitor bank.This study may provide a reference for control of breaking capacitor banks.
